No disrespect to Shwan, but he did get banned here over and over, using multiple names.

Quite honestly, that was just a small part of his overall charm.

Yes, he did get banned for trolling. That was part of his charm. He would tease and mock everyone equally, including opposing fans and K-State fans. He was relentless, and he was funny. His sense of humor was an unusual one, but once you really watched him for a while you came to appreciate it as witty and hilarious. Getting trolled by fatty was an honor.
But really this is what was important - fatty was one of K-State's greatest fans. Really, he was. He was obsessed with K-State. He had a collection of videos of every K-State game his whole life and then some. It went beyond the games though - he would record any clips about K-State from sportscenter, interviews with coaches, random clips on fox and cbs, anything having to do with K-State even remotely. He made the best K-State fan videos ever created using that collection of clips.
But it went beyond that. He could recite, from memory, the most obscure statistics about K-State. Scores, records, individual statistics from great games for certain players, and more. K-State was his life.These are things that I learned only after his death from some people who knew him personally.
And knowing how passionate he was about K-State, how many days and weeks and months of time he would pour into his obsession with it, he essentially gave it and everything else in his life all up to go care for his brother who is sick with cancer. He really was a good person, and I can't think of a better way to honor his memory and dedication than to donate to his memorial fund, which will go to help pay for his brother's treatment. So I would encourage anyone who has enjoyed his videos, or had a good laugh at him riling up some opposing fans (or even our own!) to donate, even if you can only afford a little.
Whether you loved him or hated him, Fatty was part of our family, and we as K-Staters always take care of our own.

Very well said. The only time I ever talked to fatty was on one of his videos on youtube where he was trolling kstate fans with one of his sarcastic titles, and I bit hard. He didn't respond to my comment, but actually went to my youtube page and commented on a video of me playing tennis (horribly I might add). All it said was "horrible form" lol. I said "true, but it got me to state" then he congratulated me, asked me a question of what classification I was in and said EMAW or something like that. I always thought he was 30-35 age range, never knew he was only four years older than me. Great K-stater, great troll, and after hearing about what he did for his brother he was a truly great person.

Bump. Never knew Shwan, but just realized who he was. I was friends with his brother Weesam in med school. Great guy. Weesam came to some bball games last year, but I missed the only games he came too. Was hoping to see him this year. Now I know why I didn't. Very sad...

I thought a long time about donating. I ended up doing it. Considering how much time and effort f3 gave to ksu fans and enjoyment I get out of his video masterpieces, I thought helping his family in their time of need was the least I could do to repay him just a little bit for what he gave me as a ksu fan. Birth of ksu football is worth a donation alone IMO.

does anyone know what happened? I understood his brother was/is battling cancer, but I've not heard what happened to him?

I was merely pointing out that the reason this post isn't being pinned to the top might be because he caused so much trouble for Fitz and Co, while he was trolling gpc w/ multiple names.

I've tried to read every thread about FFF on this and other boards he frequented and have yet to see what happened to him? So young? Anybody?
