I think the person who said that was mistaken
Might've been someone totally different with a similar username as Shaka
When this thread came up the first time I found his info and did a search. There were no obits and no RIP messages on his timeline, but with covid I figured he could be in a hospital or had some other illness or injury. This week tho someone said he was active on OF and someone else also said they didn't find any obits, so I figure he is just taking a break. Hopefully he found a new woman and is happy somewhere.
