I'd like to point out that many of us did express gratitude towards Sandtrap while he was still around, but within the confines of private conversation. I know I certainly did many times, but it's generally not something people would share publicly. Then there's the people who never really got the chance to express gratitude for reasons already explained. People are mourning. Not only that, but Sandtrap was different. There is no one else on this forum who cared as much as he did, so obviously it's going to hit home kind of hard for a lot of us.
