    That’s nice that they contacted the web site. Sounds like this place meant a lot to him.

    So sad to hear one of our fellow MST fans is gone.He was one of us that “GOT IT.”
    To the members of Mr. Barlow’s family and friends please place all the good memories of
    him in your hearts and remember him whenever someone laughs. Remember his love, kindness,
    and joy.Picture him sleeping,far removed from all the sadness and anxiety of the old
    world. Never loose his love and the memories of all the joy you’ve shared over the years.
    Find time to watch one or more of his favorite MST movies and place him beside you laughing
    and enjoying something that gave him so much joy.

    Matt,

    I’m not sure if you’re joking or not, but just to avoid any misunderstandings: Jared Barlow and “Average Joe” Barlow are two different people.

    Always sad to lose one of our own. “We accept him, we accept him, one of us, one of us.” Now he’s up in that big satellite in the sky, looking down on us and riffing on what he sees. Condolences to his surviving family and friends.

    My thoughts and prayers are with this family in their loss. 43 is too young. So sad. I’ll keep an eye out for some of his posts on the episode guide listings…

    He was the first person I ever tape traded with in the late ’90s and early 2000s. I’d just discovered MST in 1998. By 2001 I’d collected the entire series on VHS, and I still remember the name J. Barlow as the name that started the trading/buying process for me. RIP.

    Much too soon to pass away.
    Perhaps his family will put his favorite mst3000 episodes with him.
    When my mother passed away we put one of her favorite lottery scratchoff
    tickets, a crossword puzzle theme, with her.

    Sorry to hear it. As others have said, that’s far too young. He’s probably somewhere watching and riffing on us now.

    Would it be inappropriate to say he’s one of the good, dead ones? Nah, he’d get the joke. My condolences to his wife and son.

    My deepest sincerly sympathies to his family. I never knew him, but bye the comments and as a mstie he is my brother. I hope to be worthy and join him one day in Heaven, enjoying a riffing of a movie with him.

    In spite of my contempt for unsolicited advice on the internet, as someone who’s lost more than a few people dear to me in my relatively short life I just want to remind everyone that, in light of this grim news – and of all the truly horrible things going on in the world for that matter – for heaven’s sake tell your loved ones how much they mean to you as often as you can, no matter how silly it may feel at the time. Because you just never know. And while I’m spouting platitudes, never resent the time together you’ve lost when you can be grateful for the time you had. And above all, watch out for snakes. I can’t stress that enough.

    This is very sad news. I haven’t been contributing to this site for that long, but I remember Mr. Barlow’s contributions to the (never-ending) discussion very well.

    We will watch an episode tonight in your honour.
