What a terrible tragedy! I am broken to hear of this loss. Only  Hashem could provide you with nechama - condolence - among the mourners of ירושלים. I was broken to hear of this news!

Your friend always,
~Rabbi Ephraim Palgon

My condolences to everyone who lived, loved & shared with Baruch.

My condolences to the friends and family Baruch left behind, much too early. I knew them like many others via the online reefing forums. We competed together in a coral growing competition, where they won.  They were very humble and kind. The world lost a kind and generous soul.

While I did not know  Baruch personally, I had become familiar with him by his posts and teachings on the reef 2 reef aquarist forum, and based on his knowledge I just assumed he was much older in age. It was with shock and a saddened heart that I recently learned of his passing and that he was so young.

Hopefully you can find comfort in knowing how many people were touched by and respected Baruch.

Myself and many others knew him as Miami Reef on Humblefish and Reef2Reef. 

He was a great reefer, and always willing to help out. Didnt always see eye to eye but that made the discussion better. 

He will be missed. His reef aquarium meant a lot to him. I hope the life in it can continue on.

I only knew Baruch online and over the phone, but it was clear that he was a kind, intelligent, and funny person. I talked to him on Tuesday, and he had me rolling in laughter. I can’t believe I won't be able to suffer his teasing again. Baruch was also always understanding and happy to help me understand things that went over my head, as his knowledge of chemistry and reefing was far superior to mine. I will miss him eternally.

I had the chance to interact with your son on many instances. He has such a curious mind and a good soul. I have no words that express the sadness I feel for not only loosing one of the community members but more so that we lost such a young, kind soul. He will be greatly missed. Even from folks that have never met him face to face, he touched many many lives. I am just heartbroken...

ברוך היה  דמות מובילה ומוארכת בפורום שמכיל עשרות אלפי חברים.  כואב שעתיד כל כך מבטיח נגדע בדמי ימיו. שלא תדעו עוד צער

Condolences to @Miamireef's family. I did not know his name until today and have just interacted with him on the reef message boards. He will be missed greatly

Yakov, Roza and Baruchs siblings, there are no words to ease such a profound loss. May your son’s and brother’s memory be a blessing, and may you find comfort in the love and light surrounding you.

I'd like to offer my condolences. It can't be easy what you're going through, but the Bible has many verses that can comfort you. And this doesn't surprise us: “For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction,f so that through our enduranceg and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope”. (Romans 15:4).
Look at the encouraging words the Bible gives us: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted;
He saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Many are the hardships of the righteous one,y
But Jehovah rescues him from them all”. (Psalms 34:18,19).
God is with us especially when we are sad and encourages us through his Word.
