Hello I'm psik0tiks (Erics) fiance and due to a work incident he passed away last week. He loved this place and I'll miss yelling at him to stop reading this forum and come to bed. And I'll miss his (projects) all over the house from the small arcade machine on my counter to the car cut in half in my garage. Thank you and god bless

You have my deepest sympathies! I'm sorry for your loss.

Wow. That's horrible to hear.

Post from time to time in his memory if you can. He would have liked that I think.

My condolences and best wishes.

Condolences. He will be missed and a part of him will always live on in his posts here in our community.

i was wondering why we hadnt heard from him for a while. my condolences and i hope you have lots of support from family and friends. he seemed like he lived his life fully which a lot of people never do. a great loss to society i'm sure.

danny.

Thank you for your comments. I have lots of family support and good memories. I see why he came here I have been staring into the screen for some time now reading some things. And on the lighter side of things I would call him a menace to society. I'm sure the neighbors aren't going to miss him playing Janis Joplin as loud as he can and using power tools at 8 in the morning. He lived his life to the fullest extent possible he even had it in his will that we have a party instead of a funeral and that's the most depressing part of it is that people like him have to have life cut so short. I'll try to post once in awhile. Thank you very much again for your kind comments.

very sorry to hear this. You have this forums deepest sympathies. Anytime we lose a member is a great loss. Condolences go to you and your loved ones.

Sorry for your loss, hopefully you can spend more time thinking about the fun memories than the sadness. psik0tik seemed like a good guy and he will surely be missed here. Thank you for letting us know about this, as silly as it may seem in an online forum, when somebody disappears you often wonder what happened to them, usually assuming they just lost interest in or time for the hobby of the forum, it's sad that isn't the case this time.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. We will all miss him, and as mentioned, thank you for letting us know about it. A lot of us saw psik0tik post around here and got to know him, and he will definitely be missed.

Stay strong and keep your spirits high. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Wow - there really aren't any words that help with something like this.

I really enjoyed reading about his "literal" driving cab project.

His influence will be missed and you have our deepest sympathies and condolences.

Wow. Just wow. I'm so sorry for your loss.
If you are OK with it (which I might assume you would be as you brought it to our attention) I think a memorial note should be put on the front page. I'll pm Saint.

I'm so sorry for your loss (and this community's). I hope you can take comfort in knowing that your post has caused me (and probably many others) to step back and appreciate what little time we all have in this world.

He worked for Exxon, but that's all I can tell you.

It's not unmoddable...it's just a challenge at the moment. Saying a console is unmoddable is like saying there will never be bacon flavored water....and there will be.

Bacon water...good stuff.

Definitely made me take a step back. Well said.

Grasshopper · « **Reply #28 on:** December 12, 2007, 02:24:53 pm »

Wow, I'm very sorry and genuinely shocked to hear about this. Thanks for taking the trouble to let us know. It's the first time I've heard of a BYOAC member passing away. It certainly throws things into perspective.

I'd also like to offer my condolences for your sad loss.

ChadTower · « **Reply #29 on:** December 12, 2007, 02:39:56 pm »

Holy crap. All condolences to you and everyone who was part of his life. I like that guy.

psik0tik · « **Reply #30 on:** December 12, 2007, 02:49:41 pm »

I have one more thing to share and then I'm off to New York. I want to share his eulogy because this is one of the sites he listed to list it on.

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can go through, so much more if it isthe man your going to marry. No words can express what I am feeling right now and I’m sure only time can help me accept the fact.

Eric lived in a world beyond what we consider normal life. HE lived life more than anyone that I have ever met and that is what drew everyone to him. HE will be missed by more people that I can count and made more friends through his loving and caring nature than anyone can ever imagine. He had the most incredible inner child that screamed out to embrace him and he followed it.

He was a creator, he would rather build it then have someone build it for him.
He was an inventor, he wanted something that only he had instead of what everyone else had.
He was caring, he would give the shirt of his back if thought it would make you smile.
He was trusting, He believed that everyone had a good side to them even though they may have done wrong.

We had the privilege of time with him before he passed and he wrote something to tell everyone that he knew:

First off I would like to be buried with my car and my arcade room lol. I don't know how to say goodbye to all I love and charish. I don't know what is going to happen when I die and I've come to terms with it in the last hours of my life. I will miss most of all my fiance the one who put up with me and if there is life after death I have no idea how I will survive in the afterlife without her. I want her to know that I love her more than life itself and that there was never a woman that could've treated me me better than her. I would also like to say goodbye to all my friends and family. I wish I could've seen your faces and spoke to you before this because I have so much to say and so many hugs to pass out. I would also like to say goodbye to all of my friends in the various online friends that I have met on the internet. I know it sounds foolish calling people that I have never met my friends but they were just as important to me as my friends in real life. Out of my friends online I'd like to thank saint. He gave me more projects to do and let me relive my childhood of video games and the smell of hot arcade machines that I missed so much. And to all my friends in IRC that helped me through all my problems I had with various projects over time. Also I would like to thank superstar for being the best friend online i could imagine. the only person that would travel to Las Vegas at 3 in the morning to meet me for a arcade auction and drive back to Florida in a broken down Uhaul so I could have an original pacman and tron. Most of all I will miss my family the ones who loved me more than life could give and who never doubted me in everything I did. I love you all more than life itself and I will love you even after I die. Like is stated in my will I would like a party instead of some boring funeral. I want alcohol and loud music and everyone to dance and have fun. I knew the business I was in was dangerous so I set aside money for the occasion. Plus being big oils ---smurfette--- for so long should cover any other expenses. I love you all and I'd write more but I'm feeling very tired. Again I can't say enough how much I truly love and respect everyone Thank you and goodbye to everyone.

Love
Eric
aka Psik0tik

That was the last thing he wrote before he died and he couldn't express more how he had so much more to say. But he would need eternity to say all he needed to say to all his loved ones.

thank you so much for attending

DrumAnBass · « **Reply #31 on:** December 12, 2007, 03:04:27 pm »

Wow, what a tough thing to deal with, I can't begin to imagine what you are going through. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Wish I had an opportunity to know him in "real life" but from what I read from him here he seems like a great guy. So sorry to hear about your loss.

ChadTower · « **Reply #32 on:** December 12, 2007, 03:07:31 pm »

Wow. The opportunity to say goodbye is a priceless thing. You never really think about that in your day to day life.

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #33 on:** December 12, 2007, 03:15:30 pm »

Wow... what can I say but I'm very sorry for your loss. Take care and all the best...

Actually one more thing. I have the book that the guy that runs this place made. He had it signed by alot of pople from all the game coventions he went to and he wanted it given back to it's creator. The book is in bad shape lol but it has a signature on every page. I don't know who I'm suppose to give this too or who to write so hopefully you guys can help me. It says on the cover build your own arcade machine and please if you could help me find an address to this guy I want to try and send this to him. Thank you guys again

SirPeale · « **Reply #35 on:** December 12, 2007, 03:35:46 pm »

God Bless.

Can you let us know what happened? What did Eric do that was so dangerous?

I imagine it is an awful gift to be able to write your own eulogy.

IIRC, he recently went to Alaska to work on an oil rig.
