Very Sad News

[suicidal_monkey]

Sad news indeed. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed. Glasses will definitely be raised. Doesn't seem so long ago that we were rammed into a hatchback with our CRTs and desktops heading cross country to our first dMw lan.

[Liberator]

The LANs will seem a lot emptier without him, lovely bloke and as TL says, that grin will be sadly missed.

[Michelanio]

Really sad news He seemed like a great person the few times I talked to him at the lans and as everyone says he will be missed.

RIP Bruce.. You were a genuine bloke down to the core. It was nice to have known you as long as I did. My your family find some comfort knowing how much he was loved.

[GhostMjr]

This has come as a complete shock and I can't believe he has gone!

We had a lot of fun times and it was always great to see NvG at the LAN's.

Agreed with all the comments above, see you on the other side NvG.

At the next LAN we're hold a minutes silence in your memory and my thoughts are with your family and friends.

[Blunt]

Thanks everybody for your kind words.

Bru's wife Frankie has seen them and was very moved to read the lovely things you've all said.

I'm going to move this into the open part of the forum at Frankie's request.

GhostMjr, I fully understand your desire to remember Bru at the LAN, and I agree that we should... but can you imagine Bru wanting a minutes silence? :no2:

Maybe we can be a bit more imaginative than that.

Perhaps a memorial 2v2 Deagle cup, or something? I know he loved the Deagle comp.
Anyways, we can ponder that.

I will post funeral arrangements etc. when they are confirmed, and Frankie is thinking about donations to 'Cancer Research'.
I will update you on that if you wish to donate.

Cheers all.

Perhaps a memorial 2v2 Deagle cup, or something? I know he loved the Deagle comp.

Can I suggest that we rename the comp to "NvG Deagle - 2v2".

Let me know your thoughts Blunt et all

[TheDvEight]

Like many I met NvG at the lan and always found him to be very friendly and always laughing at the computer,  thoughts and prayers go out to his family a sad loss indeed taken far too young

[Jamoe]

My thoughts are with TE_Owner, family and friends.

It's been a while (almost 9 years) but I do recall sharing a room with Tox when NvG et el joined us for his first LAN (VIII). My LAN experiences were always great because of people like NvG. A very sad lose.

Perhaps we should have a webpage dedicated to our fallen?

Aye, he did like his deagling!

Nice idea NF and it shall be known thus henceforth.

[DarkAngel]

Such sad news, he was such a lovely top bloke and i can still see his grin! He will truly be missed by a lot of people! RIP.

[DrunkenZombiee]

A big loss. My thoughts are with his family especially TE who is a top chap just like his dad was.

The Deagle naming is a fantastic idea I am all for that. Possibly we can donate some (or all) of the Thursday night winnings to cancer research UK next time round or do something proactive?

Definitely need to have a round in his honor during the Steak night too when the virgins would normally be ingratiated.

A big loss to the community.

[Sneakytiger]

yeah that would be good all winnings from the poker night get donated to cancer research uk

God now I've gone and had a big cry, thanks guys for your kind words and support. I wish I could write some erudite piece of prose that encapsulated the man. Put simply he was the nicest man anyone could hope to know and a supportive and loving father who was taken too young.

Thanks for reminding me of his signature grin and Battlefield/Counter-Strike days. It's easy to forget about the good times when the bad are still fresh in your mind.
