Memorial: \/£in

[Anne Bonny]

My vision is blurred by tears and my fingers are shaking as I post this message. It is an announcement of the worst kind, and frankly I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words.

Roleplay Adventures has lost one of its longest standing members in a sudden and tragic accident yesterday. \/£in (http://role-player.net/forum/member.php?u=1484) was, for years, an active roleplayer with exciting ideas and a taste for action. He was a joker, often leaving the rest of us in stitches. He was passionate about his thoughts and opinions, never hesitating to voice what he thought was good and right. For a time he was even a member of our staff team.

What's more, Vein pretty much created and helped to power the Clans and Guilds section at its origin, and again helped with it's restart. Twice over he not only lead a clan, but dove headfirst into helping groups work together and creating activity and interest for the section.

"Real life" sometimes gets in the way of our connection to the online world, and in recent times Vein has had to stray from RPA here and there. I'm saddened that newer members probably didn't know him because of this and missed out on meeting a great guy. But Vein would often pop in and check up with those he had grown close to. A friendship with him was a real thing, and there is no doubt in my mind that he would have kept coming to this site every so often, if only just to check on those of us that he had grown close to.

Outside of RPA, he was a hard worker who cared deeply for his little family. Life and situations threw everything they could at him, and he persevered and fought for his fiance and his young daughter. And when he spoke of these two special girls, there was love obviously dripping from every word.

If you're the praying sort, I ask that you send a few words up for the love of his life, who was once known on RPA as Jade (http://role-player.net/forum/member.php?u=4897) and their young, beautiful daughter. I cannot even imagine the pain they must be in because of all of this.

Vein, my heart aches at the knowledge that we will never again have one of our chats that I treasured so much. You were a friend, a co-writer, and an adviser. You were too young, and too good a person to be yanked away from us so suddenly.

A great loss of this wonderful person.

May he rests in peace.

[SikstaSlathalin]

Be sure to keep the angels in line boss. It's was an honour knowing you, may your family find solace.

[Tune]

I never really got to meet Vein other than seeing him around RPA from time to time.

It's times like this that makes you realize how sudden things can change. A painting someone once made on deviantART showed a little girl blowing bubbles and as the first one popped, the others mourned its loss. The caption said, "You never know how fast things can end."

Two members have not made it with us through this journey. Bravado last December and now Vein. I can't help but dry my own tears as I know how hard it is to lose a loved one, especially a father.

My prayers go out to his family and friends.

[CALYPSO]

Returning to give my sincere condolences to Vein's family.

This is a very sad time indeed. I'm so shocked that RPA lost another member. =(

[Lox]

Rest in peace, bro, and may your beer glass be forever full up in Heaven. :no:

[The Silver Crow]

It's strange how this works. I never think about what it would be like once a member is gone for good. Or rather bad. I give his loved ones my condolences and prayers. Even though I never got to meet him sadly. May their hearts hold strong.

[Jacogos]

Vein... From the few times I've seen him around the site, I knew he was a good guy. It saddens me that this was how it had to go... Rest in Peace, you glorious man you. Save us all a spot in Heaven so we can all meet up and continue our stories eternally :)

[Merry]

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment

Rest in peace friend -luv-

[Anastasia]

I never knew Vein, not really. The impact he had, however, on this community is resoundingly clear. He will be missed, and will be forever remembered for his life and contributions to this place, and his family. My heart goes with him and his family.

Слова Богу – Words to God.

[John]

My thoughts and prayers go with your family. Rest in Peace my friend.

[Mysteria]

I am so deeply saddened by this. Vein was a wonderful individual and friend and my heart and prayers go out to his family and all of those who were touched by this amazing individual.

[Vampirequeen]

I never got a chance to talk to Vein, but I still can't believe that he's gone. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Mary Sue]

I don't know what to say, other than I can't stop crying.

Since I can't bring flowers to you....

Goodbye, friend. I'll miss you.

[The Imposter]

We were not tight by any stretch but its real shitty to know someone from here is gone on the perma-logout. I feel for the family, my condolences.

[Alice]

I can't believe this. I don't even know what to say. I could never begin to imagine the pain his family and friends must be going through. They were both so young.... How can it just..

Rest in peace, Vein.

[Bia]

I had only spoken to him briefly a few times but I had seen him around the forum and had always admired his great work ethic and eloquent conversations. He was an awesome guy who loved RPA, and we love him back. I am deeply saddened by this news and will keep his family in my prayers.

[Falcon Red]

....... Forgive me if I'm not here for a while.....

[John]

I just want to take a moment to share some of Vein's creations (http://www.youtube.com/user/PyroclasmMusic/videos?view=0)with all of you

[Pastel Apathy]

My thoughts and prayers go out to Vein's family as well, even though I never knew him.

[G]

I'm sad I never got to know him better :( One of those names you get so used to seeing around, sending love and light to his family! <3 :(

[Fox Xalian]

When I saw this on the front page I thought "Oh God no...not another one". And now...I'm at a loss for words. Now I didn't really know Vein, but I knew Jade, she had been a friend to me from the time I first came here. I don't know what to say, I don't think there is anything really to say that hasn't already been said.

Vein, I hope you are at peace.

[Awean8]

I'm at a loss for words. He was a great guy, and my heart truly goes out to his family.

I clicked the link that Naz posted earlier that went to his personal youtube page where he apparently posted electronic songs he had written. The first video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCEoAp3bR0E&feature=plcp)I clicked on had a small paragraph in the about section where he says, "I want any who listen to this, please, close your eyes and listen to the music. Imagine that you're at the end of your journey...then when you open your eyes, be grateful the journey is still ahead."

Its sort of a beautiful irony, one which reveals what kind of person he really was. Sorry, I just thought that it was important to make note of.

[Housemaster]

I don't even know what to say... I wish this thread didn't have to exist. Thoughts go out to his family.

[Lord Tully]

Oh I don't even know what to say, I know we never really RPed together, but I'm gonna miss him, he was a good guy. I wish his family all the best, I don't really know what else I can say.

[SQJ]

Man I knew him, not as closely as most but I spoke to him fairly often.
He's one of the few people I know who had a genuine love for hip hop in this site, and those are the people to stick fucking close to. He liked Chester from Linkin Park over Rick Ross but no ones perfect. heh
I still remember the thread he made discovered he had a kid and wanted our advice on whether he were to stay in school and stuff. I remember that was one of the first times we ever really talked.
I remember the hip hop blog thing came after and with half of the friends I have now our friendship started with me arguing with him. ^_^

If you've ever brainstormed with the guy on ideas then you'll know just how much potential amazingness the world has actually lost with the loss of Vein. I'm honoured to have recieved the privilage at least once in my life.

I tried to draw him once. Looks nothing like him, lesigh.

Rest in Peace bro. Tell Bravado we still think about her often. And while you're there you and her should create you're own Fort Minor. Vein on sound, rocking an extra deep bassful drum beat on your already amazing techno skills and then have Bravado do the raps. Tupac and Biggy have to do a guest appearance in your songs. I'd like to think Jimmy Hendrix and Curt have already smashed up all the harps but smash up a couple more in our name. Party RPA style. ^^
You'll be sincerely missed bro.

[Rhomeo]

I can't say I ever knew him, but his influence on RPA was massive... it's sad to know that he'll never be around again.

My condolences not only to his family, but all of the people who knew him here as well, and were close to him.

[V]

I only knew him in passing, sadly :(


Makes me sad losing another great member of this site. :(

[StormWolf]

Rest easy is Glaðsheimr, my friend.

Skål

[mcstringer]

I want to type my condolences as well to Vein's family. I didn't know the person that well at all. He seemed to be a good person. I will not allow myself to not get to know people on this site again.

It is sad for a person to pass on and not impact as many people as he or she could. I failed to get to know and learn from Vein. I will never get the chance to correct my mistake.

[Porcelain Doll]

I didn't know Vein, but I thought I would pay my respects.
It sounds like you were a very nice person and a person that will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends and anyone who knew him.
Rest in peace Vein, rest in peace <3

[Drakonnas]

God bless, Vein. I never knew you, but I can tell you were a very special person. I'll be praying for your family. Rest in peace.

[Biophysicist]

Requiem Aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetuae luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen.

...I don't think I know this guy but I cried anyway.

[Wattz]

Rest in peace, Vein.

[Waarnemen]

May you rest in Peace in sweet matrimony...
You will be forever remembered as a wonderful part of RPA...
