Condolences
"I knew Fabian for most of my adult life. He was my soulmate and my best friend. Though our relationship went through rocky patches I never stopped loving him for even one moment. My deepest sympathies to all of Fabian’s friends and family. He touched more lives than I think he ever realized. And he will be forever remembered, loved, and missed."

"Like some more modern friendships nowadays, ours had begun meeting in a fandom chat room online, years ago. He was engaging, a good listener and always knew how to lift your spirits. About a year or so later, we finally met face to face at a convention north of Chicago and a friendship was forged from there. Grant, I only saw Fabian a few more times over the years ~ good years seeing him around, enjoying life to the fullest. Time and distance may have quelled what could be shared, but he always made sure to keep in touch - even wishing me another happy birthday a month ago. For those of us who were lucky and blessed to have known you - your family, Martin, your loved ones and your friends - you are already greatly missed. I will miss your delightful personality, your mischievous sense of humor, your kind heart and gentle soul. Now, from this mortal coil, may joy and happiness surround you, dear Fabian. May your spirit shine brightly from the heavens and give us solace, comfort, peace and hope. With love. "
