Smokedaddy has passed away

[Stratomsk]

I sincerely regret not making an account earlier and getting the chance to know him better. Rest in Peace you glorious bastard.

 

[MY 405]

My heart is broken.

 

[Night Terror]

He always had a funny story to tell. It's weird, knowing that he won't be around to spin another anecdote about the way, gaming-wise, he'd been everywhere and done everything.
I really wish I hadn't been intimidated by his admin/former admin status and sent him a PM. I always wanted to hear another tale.

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

I never had much interaction with smokedaddy but from what little I did have he was an intelligent man and truly a voice of reason. I'm gonna miss his presence on the boards. His family and friends are in my prayers.

 

[Pikimon]

Holy shit. I remember his amazing stories, it's going to be really weird not seeing him post anymore. I hope his family is okay

 

[Yaks]

Oh my god. Daddy was one of the people I was closest to and I'd wondered why he didn't answer my emails.

Thank you for posting this. I wish I'd gotten on earlier.

 

[Null]

Kenneth Englehardt would like to offer condolences.

My condolences to your friend's passing on kiwifarms.net


Regards: Kenneth

Never knew the guy, but my condolences to those who did.

 

[BALLZ-BROKEN]

I liked him because he programmed the engine for my favorite game. Other than that, there is nothing I can say that hasn't been said in this thread.

 

[Ferls]

I wasn't very familiar with him before, but it's quite clear that he was a great individual. It's a tragic loss, but fortunately he has left behind quite a bit and quite an impact. May he rest in peace.

 

[Trombonista]

Smokedaddy was one of my favorite mods. I will miss him so much.

 

[Cosmos]

Unfortunately, I didn't know Smoke, but I know that a lot of people here loved him. I'm glad that his family was by his side at the end, at least. Rest in peace

Smokedaddy's post in the forum's token suicide thread (spoilered and linked at the bottom if you want to read it) remains far and away one of my favorite opines on any forum, ever. It wasn't just for the insight he'd provided therein, but the intelligent yet down-to-earth and relatable way he'd articulated it. You could tell just from that one post that Smoke was a guy that'd been around the block multiple times and had learned a lot and knew a lot about life. That said, it bums me to no end to know that I'm not going to be seeing anymore of that and it bums me even more to know that I'll never get the chance to talk to him that I should've seized as soon as I'd read that post.

I am glad, though, to know that he'd at least had his family at his side. Death sucks no matter when and how it happens. Passing away peaceably from illness with your loved ones around you is about as good as it gets, and for a good guy like him, it's all you can really hope for.

"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

Amen

RIP smokedaddy .

I'm a noob in this site, and I've never had the chance to talk with Smokedaddy. It seems it will be a huge loss for the forums, his family and friends. He's gone too soon, but he will not be forgotten by anyone who knew him either here or in real life. Goodnight, sweet prince.

 

[SmugTomato]

Only talked to him briefly, he once yelled at me on Steam, threatening to kick my ass if it was me who sent him money.

Maybe there will be Mechwarrior 5 where he's going.

RIP.

 

[Count Olaf]

Until we meet again, Smokedaddy.

 

[DC 740]

I was born in Brigham City.

My grandparents might know the Petersons.

Never met the guy, but my condolences.

 

[Dr. Meme]

Damn, never knew the guy too personally, but i always thought he was so cool for his video game thread and for him running shit on this site in the background.
Rest in Peace Smokedaddy, I hope where you've gone there are some kickass videogames for you to chill with for eternity.
