I didn't know him, but reading his thread in the Games forum about his experiences developing Mechwarrior 2 and his insight into game development was really fascinating. My condolences to his friends and family, he truly seemed like an amazing person
 
I'll miss Smokedaddy, his avatar of the bug always threw me off because I thought there was a bug on my screen and that was when I was still lurking. He gave Dun and I his blessings.


I also played with him on Steam, he was on my friend's list until his death.
 
I can't say I knew him well but the couple times we talked he seemed like a real nice guy. He was also one of the few guys I'd known in the previous incarnation of the forum as well.

RIP Smoke.
 
I only joined recently, so I never had the pleasure to know Smokedaddy. From what's written on this thread, he sounded like a great man that touched so many lives not only on the Farms, but everywhere he went.

When we lose one of our own, whether or not we knew them, we all bleed.

There's no break, there's no end, just a-living on;
Wide awake, with a smile, going on and on.

Stand easy, brother.

It had been a while since I talked to him, but the last time I did he told me he was optimistic about recovering. So, while I'm not shocked, I am surprised, and this really sucks.

Actually @Hellblazer and I were talking in chat just the other day about how even though Smokedaddy was posting less often, his posts were longer. I then added him to my follow list as I looked forward to being alerted to his next post, which unfortunately will never come. In retrospect, perhaps they were more contemplative because he was taking stock of the full life he had lived.

He was a cool dude with some great stories, and he will be missed here at the Farms.
