Although we never contributed in each-others' threads, I'd like to share my deepest condolences.
What he wrote about seeing the members of this forum as friends, I can really understand that feeling and share it. The beauty of this is that it spans the world. The lesser side is that you may never ever meet in real life. It doesn't really matter, I think we feel bonded together by our shared passion for this hobby.

From The Netherlands, I wish you all the best and strength.

I told my wife about this, and how Eric had requested that the community know about him and how he felt about us. I think that she understands a bit more about why I come here often. I consider many people on here friends of mine. I know the true names of some on here, but many I don't and it doesn't really matter. Level42 says it pretty much the best. You don't have to meet someone in person to be friends. This site is kind of like having a whole bunch of penpals, you know?

Always shocking to hear something like this.  Didn't have any dealings with him but, through thick and thin, we all share a kinship on this board.  My condolences.

I'd like to add my condolences to the masses here.  I never really got to know him since I'm pretty new here, but I can tell he was well loved both on-line and off.  His last message told quite a bit about him.  I can tell he had great humor, and great love.  The world has lost a good man.  :'(

Well he was buried last night in Alaska. As his request we had a huge party instead of a funeral. He was buried there because he loved it there. there was close to 200 people there so you could imagine after all the beer there was alot of yellow snow outside. If anyone makes it out to fairbanks Alaska you can see his grave near the pipeline where he can see the northern lights. I can't begin to thank you all for your amazing comments about him. Like I said I'll stop in once in awhile and drop a line or two. I'll be moving out to Alaska next month so I'll take some pictures for you guys. I don't want to leave him out there alone :) Thank you again

I'm terribly sorry.  I lost someone unexpectedly earlier this year and it's difficult to cope with.  psik0tik seemed like a really great person.  I hope you are holding up okay.  If my wife died it would leave an empty spot in me that would be very very difficult to fill.  I hope it does not take too long to feel whole again.  The empty feeling is physically painful and sometimes takes your breath away.  I hope you can fill it with distraction in the short term and in time the wound will heal, leaving only the scar.

Nothing I can add or say to what has already been said.  I am not a huge poster but a big reader and I enjoyed Eric's posts.  I have made many friends on line and in some ways I feel closer to them then the ones just down the street.  His words brought tears to my eyes and I have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  To Eric you are probably reading all this....look down upon us from high and put a good word in for all of us with the #1 Gamer will ya?  Take care brother and may God Bless you and all who love you!

Like arcadefever said, another really nice bloke passed away from the killercabs forum, and not too long ago someone passed away from the djforums.com site (both of which I only read).

It's all a bit much. I keep expecting psik0tik to reply as himself and say he was just having a laugh at us.

Loosing someone its not very nice, here in mexico we like to remeber our loved ones by thinking the best out of them , maybe you can do something in hes honor. Good  luck and my best wishes for you, im pretty sure hes playing the best games with the Lord, or maybe the Lord needed someone to build arcades like  him. :)

It is always sad when someone passes from this mortal coil..

It is even sadder when that person has given to so many without even knowing they have done so - this thread is a clear expression of that.


On a personal note - I will sadly miss the old bugger..

People - please take this sad moment to reflect on those that are still with us during the upcoming festive season.  It is so easy to forget to tell those important people that we love them.  It costs nothing but when they are gone, the moment is priceless.
