Walkazo

Thou liest!
Wiki Bureaucrat
This is former community member Pantaro, brother of Walkazo. I have some harrowing news, which I am spreading to everywhere relevant.

At 4 PM EDT, Walkazo was in a horriffic traffic accident and didn't make it.

Her life, while short, was accomplished. She climbed the ranks to become a Bureaucrat of the Mario Wiki, she made many fanfics including Mario adaptations of Shakespeare, and her quest in the scientific study of birds had led her to Baltimore, The U.K., and Africa. Of the two of us, she was always the smarter, stronger, more successful one, and now she's gone.

I cannot describe what I feel right now, aside from intense grief. For the rest of my days, I will do my best to honor her memory. Complete the collections she started, and list her in the credits for everything I make.

She was mean at times, but I miss her so much. If only the clock can be reversed. If only Easter Sunday was also Groundhog day. If only 1-ups where real.

She will be missed.

RIP B. "Walkazo" Dalziel. December 16, 1991 to March 27, 2016.
 
Thank you for letting us know. Our thoughts will be with you.
 
Yeah the news was very shocking to me. I couldn't believe it at first. I CAN'T believe it. Walkazo was too young to die. She was one of our best friends here. This doesn't need to be reality. Why? Why???

I'm blanking out my profile to mourn for her.
 
I....I don't even know what to say or to think. I always thought she was an amazing person and to even think that she could be truly gone.....

I will miss you so much Walkazo.

And I wish the best for you Pantaro. I hope you can stay strong.
 
I've never been this distraught before. Walkazo was one of my first friends when I joined so long ago and this is just so... surreal. Oh my god.

I know I just tweeted at you, Pantaro, but I love you bud. I haven't seen you in so long and I wish seeing you again could be on different terms. I'm so so sorry. God.

I miss you, Walkazo. Walky. Ahaha I used to call you Walky all the time. I can't feel anything right now.
 
If anyone wants, and it's okay with Pantaro, I found an article describing the crash. You can PM me if you'd like to see it, but you should know that it has a picture of the crash if you find that to be sensitive.
 
i'm shaking atm what the fuck

I can't get my head around the fact that someone who once inspired me so much while I was still editing the wiki, co-wrote one of the greatest community love-letters I've seen, was still posting on these very forums and doing so much more, is just suddenly...gone.

Thank you for letting us know, Pantaro. My thoughts are with you, your family, Walkazo's friends and everyone else on here. Rest in peace, Walkazo.
 
Walkazo, from the passing conversations we'd have across these communities, was one of the sweetest people I've ever had the opportunity to talk to. I seriously regret not getting to know her better when I had the opportunity.

I'm horribly sorry for your loss, and the loss of everyone who's had the privilege of knowing such a great person.
 
I really don't know what to say... Walkazo was always quite a helpful and creative user, even though I never really interacted with her on a personal level. May you rest in peace, Walkazo. And Pantario, thank you for delivering this info to us and I hope the best for you.
 
I've always respected her as a user and a person and... it's so hard to believe she's gone. Rest in peace, Walkazo, I will miss you and your wonderful contributions to this community so much.

I'm so sorry for you too, Pantaro, I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for you.
 
This is definitely surreal but also overwhelming sadness. Words also cannot describe my emotional state right now. I'm so distraught.

We'll always remember you. I'll remember you particularly for extensive birding-related conversations, your silly Adventures of Little Mario stuff, your drawings, your Mariosona, our intelligent conversations related to the wiki even if we disagreed on various subjects (but that's normal and healthy to disagree although it's still difficult), your dedication to the Mario series, and your experience with the wiki.

Someday, I'll head over to the East U.S. and I'll look for common grackles. I'll feed them peanuts. Just as you have done. I've always wanted to see you in person, but I'll now... never have the chance.

Thanks for everything.
