Rest in Peace Lounge Machine

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Hello Everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

I wanted to pass along the sad news that Lounge Machine (Ted Walker) passed away today.

Ted has shared his medical issues in great detail on FB in the last couple years. He died of Hepatic Encephalopathy, which is a chronic liver disease resulting in a loss of brain function.

Rest in Peace, Ted.

Thanks for the info Va Beach. Hate to hear we lost yet another VH fan. Especially at a fairly young age.

Wow. Thats very sad. I remember Lounge on here very well.

RIP brother.

I was in fairly constant communication with him over the past few years. He kept a positive mental attitude all the way up to the end. This is a sad, sad day for one of the coolest motherfuckers I ever knew.

I remember Lounge Machine. Sorry to hear he was sick and passed on. I got word yesterday a friend of ours died from a blood clot leaving two teenaged kids and a husband behind. My best friend in grade school got struck by lightning while camping with his family. He was gone like that. Always strange to have people you know go.

Lounge was one of the major architects of this place back in the day.

I wouldn't go that far. He came along a little later. Definitely a big contributor in his time though.

Well, yes. He just generally seemed to be in the middle of the mayhem quite often. Not meaning he "created" anything as far as the website.

It's terrible to hear but knew it was coming. I miss his caustic wit a lot but know he's in the big lounge in the sky...

This is very saddening to hear...the only solace I can think of right now is that he isn't suffering or hurting anymore.

RIP Lounge.
