To his family from his online family.
Anyone who could go through all that chemo and such, while still finding time to share his passion for music with his friends online.
He must have been very special to know personally. Many share your loss.
My prayers to his family & friends for their loss. R.I.P. dear sir.

I can only agree with what the others have said. That someone I never met can be so inspiring to others while going through what he did is a blessing to all. He will be truly missed.

I never really met Dirk, but I do need to thank him! He showed me some great music, and was a real great guy to chat with!
Even though I'm from the other side of the world (Portugal), my prayers are for him and to his family.
You are going to be missed, mate!
Rest in peace Dirk. Thanks for everything!

Thank you, friend, for all the music and the inspiration. See you again one day. -- Stefan M./Occupied Territories
So sad. Thank you for the music.
Chickenpocks over my body.
Rest in peace Dirk.
Dirk shared music & good feelings with us. Now is time to do the same with the angels. Think the heaven is more happy & colourfull place today. God blessed you my friend.
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Dirk's passing. His blog of course brought us so much wonderful music to enjoy. My thoughts go out to his family.
Rest in peace, Dirk. I hope you're in a better place now. I didn't know you personally but I'll surely remember you for a long time. Thanks for everything, but most of all, I hope you're somewhere much better now.
Cities On Flame grew steadily in my heart as I discovered with increasing joy Dirk's love of japanese bands.His struggle touched me and every time i returned here i was hoping he was better.So many incredible sounds!On visiting another blog I was hit so hard with the news of his passing that i couldn't keep from crying...
It's an amazing lesson of courage and unselfishness that he found the time and energy to share his music with all of us.
To Dirk and his family: thank you for all the lessons in life and in music!
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door...
Carlos,

My thoughts go out to Dirk, his family and friends, the music you've shared has been truly inspirational. You shall be greatly missed.

See you over there

I was lucky enough to have chatted with Dirk more than a few times and it was not only his enthusiasm for music which stood out. He was always such a nice and pleasing guy to talk to, always looking to broaden his horizon and meet new people.
The way he coped with the situation was more than remarkable: it showed a kind of braveness and spirit that will be remembered by many. It was truly inspiring.
I wish you much strength and the same kind of spirit in overcoming this blow of fate. You can be proud!
Rest in peace Dirk
Uli
My honest condolences to his family and friends.
I talked to him often when I was online in the same music-channel he was in. This is a real shock actually, I never exptected to come back online and for this to happen.
He was a good guy and I'll miss him. Rest in peace good buddy.
Only the good die young, all the evil seem to live for ever.
R.I.P. mate, at least you shall have good company up there.....
May the love that surrounds you be a source of comfort at this time.
Love & Best Wishes to you Dirk & all of your family.
Your strength & bravery was inspiring,
Keep rocking on the other side.
Paul
No words to describe how bad I feel...I know the cancer is a fatal disease, but...it is not fair...so young, so much to give...I don't know what to say...you gave to all of us, a lesson how could we see and feel the life in this planet...so, I just only to say : just rest in peace my friend.
Dói muito, principalmente depois de acompanhar os últimos dias deste grande JOVEM, que foi, é, e será para sempre, o nosso Dirk R.I.P.
Goodbye my enormous friend
Too sad he had to go. Dirk, for what it's worth, thanks for all the great contributions on your blog.
I was a fan of you!
To the family of Dirk, strength.
To all the bloggers who frequented his and other blogs, strength.
My condoleances.
Beathoven from Belgium.
Met liefde en bewondering,
I am truly blessed to have encountered Dirk, and to feel his joy for his life and the music he loves. My life is much better for it.
His enthusiasm and his passion lives forever in all who are so lucky, like me, to experience his love and his giving. No word, in my opinion, has been created that can adequately describe Dirk's character and the humanity he represents.
So truly amazing is his spirit that I find it impossible to speak of him in the past tense, and can only speak in the present tense with which I will always think of him, even though I do not know him personally.
His spirit is simply too vital for me to think of him otherwise.
Wishing many blessings to his family, and to his friends who do know him personally. You are fortunate, indeed.
Fondest regards,
My sincere condolences to Dirk's family...

el vivio la vida como el quiso y la disfruto oyendo la buena musica hasta sus ultimos minutos, ahora el se encuntra con todos los musicos que han muerto lo estan recibiendo con abrazos y dandole las gracias por haber mantenido viva la musica de ellos!!!
from black acid blog...
I would like to express my deep sadness but somehow you are with us! Rest in peace and be sure you will be not forgotten! Now you have become one with the wind, the sun, the earth and the see, you are everywhere!
My condolences to your family!
See you there... everywhere
My sincere sympathies to Dirk’s family and loved ones.
I never met Dirk and we only exchanged a few comments on his blog, but I feel as if I have lost a friend. He was the sort of person you wanted to know – kind and considerate, cheerful and upbeat and doing things for others while quietly fighting a very tough battle of his own.
While he mentioned that struggle from time to time over the last year, he never complained or showed any signs of the anger that many of us would not have been able to contain. He always seemed so brave and so positive and confident that he would triumph. I know we all hoped so much that he would.
Dirk touched many people that he never met, not just because of our common love of music, but because of his humanity.
Sayonara and arigato gozaimasu, Dirk. It was a pleasure to have ‘known’ you …
~jp~
You be good in the next world, Dirk! This world wasn't good enough to contain people like you.
Dirk was a great kid; a warrior against his desease.
He enlightened a lot of lost pysch gems. I hope that everyone who downloaded an albumn here will remenber the passion Dirk had about this music.
My respects and prayers to his family. André - Brazil
rip dirk
thanks for the beautiful music
I am greatly saddened to learn of Dirk's passing. I will keep his family in my prayers!! He was an inspiration for us all. I can only hope & pray that he was a christian! R.I.P. Dirk! Dennis
I was very saddened to learn of Dirk's passing and I still am. My sympathies go to his friends and family.
It was very generous of him to share his music, especially with all that he was going through.
My he Rest In Peace.
Dirk's family,
Dirk was a nice guy and R.I.P. I'm so sad and god bless you. Miguel(Brazil).
When I first met Dirk here, I was stunned because of his great knowledge of fantastic music. Thanks for all that, you were a great and passionate person. My thoughts are with the family, and by looking at the comments, I am not the only one. Rest in peace Dirk,
Ivo
My deepest condolences. Dirk's bravery was truly inspirational and as a fellow fan of Japanese psych I thank him for the music he shared and the new sounds he introduced me to.
R.I.P. Dirk
Thank you Dirk for giving so us such a fantastic time! Your blog pointed my ears in so many sublime musical directions, that I could have otherwise easily missed out on. You've been robbed of many years that should be yours, but it sounds to me like you packed many lifetimes of listening into your 19 years! Long may you run Dirk!! We'll miss you

Mis mas sinceras condolencias para su familia,Gracias Dirk! por compartir por tu interes y sencillez,amistad y por tu gran espiritu musical, descansa en paz Dirk, te extrañamos
Hector R.
Rest in Peace, DIRK you'll stay in our hearts.I hope heaven 's music is good.
I wasn't around this site very often but one always felt the love Dirk had for music. By sharing his music he shared his love as well. If only we had been able to give back some of that love. There are not enough people of his kind in the world or surely it would be a better place. Cities Of Flame With Rock And Roll may have lost it's keeper of the fire, but his light will shine on.

A very big hug to Dirk's family and friends from an Argentinian music blogger.
Cancer is a horrible disease and, as someone already said, it's so wonderful that he took the time to keep on sharing the music he loved while going through chemos and all that terrible stuff
Rest in peace, Dirk, and thanks for all the terrific music! We'll never stop listening all the amazing music you shared with us!!

Thank you for sharing your love of music.
RIP
Dirk
My thoughts are of you.
My prayers are with your family.
Dirk had fantastic taste in music.
Thoughts go out to his family.
just wanted to add my comments to the others. Dirk turned me on to a tonne of music I hadn't heard before. Shuji Inaba, Kan Mikami, JA ceasar, High Rise, The Jacks, Les Rallizes De Nudes they all became staples to me. It doesn't sound like much but music is really important to me and so was Dirks blog. It was inspiring to see Dirk keep at what he loved through his illness and alot of people here in Australia (so far away) will miss him
Thank you Dirk and bless you and your family
This a tragic loss for any serious music fan
RIP
To Dirk's Family,
Your son made many people happy sharing his love of music, my
condolences to you - rest peacefully Dirk, free from pain.

From the heart of a man;
Peace is a man, whose breadth
Is the dawn
On a day without end;
Peace is the end, like death
Of the war. --kc
When the music's over...
turn out the lights...
turn out the lights...--jm
This place is something of a wonderland of incredible music and discovering it was one of the best things of last year. I'm saddened that Dirk will no longer be around to share his great taste and enthusiasm with so many of us.
Memory eternal!
May U rest in peace. Thx 4 all that U gave us.
Sorry to all for for your loss. Not my kind of music, but Dirk's fantastic blog always with something useful to say. A courageous young man who dealt with this vicious disease with grace and diginty. A lesson for all in this seedy world.RIp young master.

many people get old and grey without earning half as much respect as your son has in his short time here ...
my best wishes
So very sorry to read of this loss. My thoughts are with your family - Dirk shared his great musical sensibility with all of us strangers out here and we will all miss his eclectic presence. Very sweet photos, by the way.

You brought such joy to so many. You will be remembered for your true generosity of spirit. I'll miss you, friend.

Please don't get hung up or sad about Dirk. He knew he was going to leave us. Be positive and realize that there are many other blogs out there to find music for free. We unfortunately will not be able to find such eclectic good music in one place now which sucks. All my best.
