Oh, here's a link to the original thread just in case someone missed it. It also has a post by Allan's mom. AllanS sounds like he was just a great all round guy, we're all certainly going to miss him.
Damn it makes me sad every time I think about it. He was so young. Heck, I'm exactly twice his age. It does make you appreciate your life and your loved ones just so much more. We're thinking about you AllanS. God Bless.
