Today I found out that my long time online friend Feelgood died in a car crash.
I met this ex-ARMY guy in 1993 or so playing rainbowsix and weve played every game and beta together we could lay our hands on. Some of these gamming sessions would start on friday night and end on sunday afternoon. We had quite a group af excellent guys and gals with silverhawk, feelgood, loaf, czrunch, rogue, mustang, snakeeyes, and valerie being the major players. I bet the average playtime was 8-12 hours a night. That lasted like 4-5 years and most moved on except the first four and after several betas including earth and beyond ( which rocked) we ended up here.
On kain we play as silverhawk, feelgood, loaf and crzunch also play here. Its now been nearly 3 years later and probally an average of 8 hours a night over that time and many nights all nighters. We have added many friends in lineage to our list like Amee, who has become like one of us.
I have never met a better man than feelgood. I am ex-ARMY and haveing many things in common the trust ran deep, nothing was ever a secret between us. I know of no one he did wrong and no one he didnt try to like.
He leaves behind a 6 year old brother and his better half.
He will be missed and I guarantee never forgotten.
Playing online mmorpgs with feelgood wasn't a pastime but a lifestyle, It will be hard to adjust.
Today the world lost one heck of a man and a great role model, and I lost my best friend, brother in arms, and someone I wish would have been my brother.
I don't know if they will leave this in the forums very long but I hope it gets noticed and a few just take a moment in silence to remeber the good friends we have and we no longer have......
Thank you for reading this and your respect for this post....
I don't want to believe something like this is true. This'd be one hell of a cruel joke, though. <3 ya Feelgood. You always were my favorite necro, long long before FotM status. If that even means anything, considering. ****.
I've never meet him as I'm on Gustin but it's always sad when something like this happens. Someone once pointed out in a similar post that some of the people we meet in game can be people who are with us throughout life even if never met face to face.They touch our lives and make it just that little bit more special.
I'm sorry for your loss and I send my respects to his family. May he rest in peace.
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” - Revelation 21:4
"And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha´des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds." - Revelation 20:13
A couple encouraging scriptures for you. Hopefully it brings you some peace in your time of trouble.
Sad to hear that James.
i do remember Feelgood as well (mostly from Beta+Prelude), he was a really nice guy. Hanging out with you 2 was quite fun back then.
Rest in Peace Feelgood, i might not remember much of you, but i DO remember.
I am sorry for your's and his family's loss. Remember do not say goodbye, for you and his family will see him again later. I bow my head in honor of his passing.
It's tragic when a life is cut short, but through his deeds and the hearts of the friends he touched along his short journey his memory shall live on for eternity.
