Chunklet:

34-year old Bobby Ubangi (neé Benjamin Jay Womack) passed within the last couple hours. He’d lost all motor control and could only communicate with grunts. As sad as I am right now, I’m heartened to know that Bobby’s done suffering. It’s rare that I well up with tears while writing, and that’s what I’m doing right now. Not that you should care.

Bobby was full of life and a funny, funny fucking guy. Always quicker than anybody in a room to take the piss out of a situation and always the first to lend a hand. I feel like a significant part of the Atlanta scene has just died with him. And we will all miss that.

Chunklet is continuing to take donations (which have already exceeded $1200) to cover his burial costs via paypal at henry@chunklet.com

It’s a sad night, people. Rest in peace, Beej. You deserve it.
