IN HONOUR OF STRAFER.
« on: February 17, 2008, 01:43:07 pm »
Please bow your heads, and according to whatever spiritual belief system you have, think a moment of one of our community.

Yves Nantel, AKA Strafer, passed away this morning around 10:00AM, EST. Yves had been stricken with Cancer, and gave it one helluva fight.

Yves Nantel



1973 - 2008

In my dealings with Strafer over the last eight years, he was one of the people who continued to justify my belief in the human condition.
He was considerate, compassionate, and seemed to display those qualities in which I find in most of my role models.

He loved this game, loved it  a lot. So much so he worked with his close friend FireSoul to create several masterpieces, of which speak of their own. I'll not go into that here, but continue to speak of this individual whom I cared a great deal about. We used to talk on the phone, not that often - mind you -, but often enough for me to really feel like I *know*... or goddammit.. knew him.



One thing I know, if I knew Yves at all, was that he'd want us all to continue to treasure life, and continue to live it. In his Honour, I'm going to quit smoking. Panzer's post I think in THIS thread was what did it, and now with Yves passing away, the reality of such decisions is staring me in the face. Yves, I'm going to do everything I can to continue to live. I already miss you Brother.



I don't know what else to say, because I'm not in a very talkative mood, but please, post your condolences here. Strafer was the best, he will be missed.

May you rest in peace, Captain.

Farewell Captain, and Godspeed.

A great loss to everyone who ever bumped into him.  Like all of humanities best, however, he left his mark in the work and memories that will never fade.

Fare thee well, my friend.
