RIP Magnatique, Way to Young, you will be missed!
 

Our industry lost one of the good old school guys this weekend, Phil you will be missed!

For those that never had the pleasure of meeting or working with him, he was one of the nicest guys around. :(

That is crazy...how did it happen?

Wow

Heart Attack. :(

I'm in shock as everyone who knew him also is. Rest in peace Phil.

rest in peace

Fuck, it sucks, I used to work some designs out for him back in the day, RIP Phil.

My sincere condolences to his family and close friends. Phil had a contagious smile and that's how I will remember him. Big smiley face.

Life is short and unexpected. Hug a few friends today guys.

damn....RIP

Wow, just wow. May you rest in peace, Phil.

oh man, Phil was one of the first people i met in this biz, he even visited me at my place in Germany and we had a memorable drive to Prague together - 4 people plus luggage cramped in a Porsche.

this really really hurts :(

Rest in peace, Phil

Very sad, too young. RIP Phil.

I remember him from Montreal.

RIP Phil and my condolences to your family and friends :( Very Sad

Very sad. Way too young. Nothing was too mcuh trouble for him.

Rest in peace, very sad to hear :(

Easily one of the best guys in this business.... honest, professional, and just fucking cool guy! He will be missed!

what? he's a good friend. are you kidding?

Did not know him but condolences to his family. WAY too young to go!

R.I.P.

immediately thought of you - check his FB

fuckin hell. this sucks. Phil was almost like a little brother. damn. wtf. anybody know what happened?

CRAP i was afraid that would be it. FUCK 30 years old? damn

I'm still in utter shock.. RIP

Magnatique, now there's a name I haven't seen around in a while. Wow. Heart attack you say? How old was he? One of my eldest living cousins just passed away suddenly from this same thing, just a month ago in fact. He was in his mid 70's, but these days even that is too young.

I think I'll make my donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in honor of Phil and my cousin John this year. Perhaps some of you other old schoolers might consider honoring Phil likewise.

this sucks. I think I was one of the first people he met in the biz. Man i loved that guy and it had been too long since I last saw him. he had the biggest heart.

he was 32

He was a nice guy..RIP

So sad to hear this. Phil was way too young, and such a nice guy. Rest in peace.

I didn't know him but its very sad when someone so young goes so suddenly.

Speechless. I did business with Phil many years back and finally met him one year in person at YP in Mexico (at least I think it was YP.) He always had a smile and a warm hug for me.

Fucking hell.

First thing I thought too when I heard yesterday. Was a hard day. Yeah he was 32. Such a wonderful guy.

RIP Phil!

Biggest heart and smile. Just a great guy.

wow RIP.

Loved that guy. Complete shock. RIP Big Phil. Get your heart scans people! 20min of your time and for those in the US, cost is around $100, if insurance doesn't cover it.

Man, can't believe this...

Oh wow, that's very sad. :( His poor family.

I'm not putting a face to name. We got a pic to post?

Regardless. Rip!

DAMN so so sad.. RIP brother.

I really wish I was! :(

That's bloody horrible. Phil was just awesome. Such a nice guy, big smile...

RIP. My thoughts are with his team...

RIP Phil, so young that's terrible

This is shocking and very sad news - Phil was one of the first people to ever help me in this industry and took me under his wing a few times over the years - he will be greatly missed and remembered with such fondness!!

Wow!! Just plain wow!! So young and unexpected!

Damn shame and so young. RIP :(

very sad news. RIP Phil

Wow; condolences to his friends and family.

Prob one of the first guys I did business with. I believe it was around the time of Net _ Pond TGP/Newbie board. At 32 you're supposed to have so much life left. Life isn't fair sometimes.

One thing I hated about this business was that you're always sitting on your ass. One of the reason I just couldn't do it anymore.

Take care of yourself out there.

Rest In Peace Mags. Way too young.

Over the years I have had the privilege of both partnering with and working for Phil.

Phil was an awesome, caring and generous person. He will be sorely missed by so many.

I will always remember his huge smile and laugh.

Edit: For those asking for a pic to put a face to a name, this is the only one I could quickly dig up. Probably not the best since it is so heavily cropped, but hopefully it does the job.

32? Damn, so unfair. I have 90 year old aunts and uncles, pisses me off, not like they did anything special to live this long and here's a kid 32 and it's already over for him :(

We're not born equal and we don't die equal.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Was this out of nowhere or did he have some condition? 32 is too young for that.

Phil is one of the few people in the biz who never made an enemy. never had someone call him out as a cheat or anything else, was universally loved, trusted, and appreciated by friends and associates.

Very sad to hear.

R.i.P

Damn 30?? RIP Phil. Was it congenital heart disease or bad diet lifestyle? Way too young to go.
