"Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time."

I'll see you in the next turn of the Great Wheel, my friend. You're going to be missed greatly.

Harriet, just know that he inspired me to dream. Between Tolkien and himself, I found a world that I never could have imagined had I been given 1000 turnings of the Wheel. You're Robert is special to all of us. I consider him a friend, even though we'd never met.

My prayers are with you all in this time. Please accept my humblest of condolences, as I know how hard this must be for all of you. Sending good feelings your way.

Forever lost in the weave,

Trent :-)

You will be in my memory for always.

Thank you so much for the many hours, days, weeks, months and yes, even years of WoT. You have not yet stopped touching the hearts of people, there are still many more out there that will one day pick up your books and be drawn into the world you have created.

For your last journey... Peace!

To those left behind,

from all my heart, I wish you all the strength needed to deal with the death of your loved one.

The way this news touches me - only having read his books - tells me you must be devastated. My condolences to you all.

Thank you, Mr. Rigney. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to Robert Jordan's family and friends. His books gave all of us a means to escape for a time to a rich and breathtaking world that few writers have ever been able to match.

Rest in Peace RJ! We'll miss you...

Also my deepest condolences to the Family.

We lost a great man, a great fighter and a great storyteller.

My dearest sympathies to his family and his friends. He will be missed by thousands

I am so sorry to hear this, and another legend in my mind leave this world as it is. RJ has written works that will be remembered throughout times.

My condolences to RJ's family and friends.

I will continue to read his books time after time, and RJ will be remembered by everyone for a long, long, long time.

Rest in peace, RJ. You have made a lot of dark nights come alive in my life, and for many more years to come.

Again, my sincere condolences to RJ's family and friends. This world has lost a great man, but for me, RJ is still alive.

Rest in peace, mr. Jordan. My deepest condolances to his wife, family and friends. There will always be a memory of light....

R.I.P. my good sir, and many thanks for the joys you brought us all. You will be greatly missed.

During the fall of 1998 I picked up a book called “The Eye of the World†for the first time. I didn’t know what it was about, although I had seen it sitting on the shelf at the bookstore many times before. I never knew that day the profound effect this action would have on my life. I never knew the profound effect this man, James Oliver Rigney Jr. aka Robert Jordan, would have on my life. Since that day 9 years ago, he has managed to capture my imagination like it never has been before. He has managed to stand out above all the other authors I have ever read. He has managed to make me laugh and bring me to the point of tears with just the words he wrote. He has managed to convince me that pursuing my dream of writing was worth the effort, just by his shining example. He has managed to earn my respect as a person like few other authors or ‘public’ figures I know. He has managed to make me feel like I knew him, and that he was a good friend. He has touched my life like few people ever have, and like few people ever will. My biggest regret in life now is that I never managed to meet him in person. I never had a chance to look in his eyes and thank him from my heart for playing his crucial role in bringing my wife into my life. That was the greatest effect he had on me of all, and one that I will be in his debt for the rest of eternity. I suppose I will just have to hunt you down in the next life Jim, and share with you my gratitude then. It will be a while, but be patient Mr Rigney. I will find you someday.

To Harriet, Wilson and Family, thank you for being so gracious and sharing James with us. You had one of the great treasures on all of earth in him, and it was truly generous of you to let us all know him, even if just for a little while. You have my love and support forever. You will be in my prayers through these trying times.

My deepest condolences. The WOT series was a joy to read & an amazing story. My your story continue somewhere.

Requiescat In Pace...

May the wind carry him to his ancestors & may he watch over us...

My deepest condolences to his family & friends, the world have lost another great storyteller. ;)

My deepest sympathies to the surving family and friends.

RJ will never know how much he has brought to my life and that of my friends, since i was 12 y.o. until now at 27. So much has passed between through words.

Sleep well now and wake, the dream is over, dear friend...

To the family and friends of The Dragon,

I came in to work tonight expecting yet another quiet night as usual. I went over to a friend and picked up one of my Steven Erikson books when he told me that The Dragon had died. Even knowing what his condition had been, it still came as a shock to me. I came back to my desk still reeling. Quite unbidden, tears started forming in my eyes. I have never met Mr Jordan personally, nor did I even know his real name until today, but I feel like I have just lost a very good friend. I will miss him and his work more than I knew I would.

May The Dragon be reborn evertime his works are read.

Another creative genius has left us far too soon. Thank you Robert, James, for reaching out and telling us your stories. You will be missed beyond any words. Thank you Harriet for letting us spend time with him.

My condolences to RJ's friends and families.

Though it has been some time since I read the series, RJ's books have had a huge impact on my life. I have made friends and had experiences I never would have had were it not for these books, and for that I cannot thank the author enough.

I wish him peace.

A sad loss, thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this sad time

What a loss. Even though I didn't know him personally, his death has touched my heart.

Thank you for giving us a peek inside the world of the Wheel of Time. It has enrichened my life.

My symphaties to Harriet, Wilson and all of his friends and family.

My sincerest and deepest sympathies go out to all RJ's family and friends at this dreadfully sad time. As is said where I'm from, go sabhala Dia oraibh.

A huge loss to this world. I do some amateur writing, and most of my inspiration, my style, came from RJ and the Wheel of Time. He will be remembered.

Good bye RJ, I will never forget the impact you books have had on when I was growing up. Thank you for all you have done. I hope your in a better place now.

My deepest sympathies to the family, as a reader i've lost a lot, i can't imagine the loss it must be for you.

And Robert, wherever you are, THANK YOU.

Reading Knife Of Dreams for the second time... Around 3:40am, (can you relate?) Almost near the end I decided to check when the release of the next book will come out. Having never been to any of the websites, met any of the friends, family, acquaintances, or the man whom tells such incredible tales, I was taken aback by the news he had passed to a better place…

I wept-and still weep.

Truly incredible in this day and age- I write in a forum for the first time, and I don’t write! I cry for someone I’ve never met, and I don’t cry. I try and share in the grief of people I don’t know because of one man, his imagination and his desire/passion to share it with others.

It seems he lived his life to the fullest and was surrounded by those who loved and cherished him for who he was, not just for the stories he told.

His light and yours has and will always shine brite!

RIP RJ

I grew up reading your work and it was some of the best i've read. You will be missed.

Enjoy the other side my friend!
