i dont know what to say
By the way, what the url to his website?

------------------
Kilroy Was Here

the URL was http://www.thelimelite.net/ but it is no longer in service.

Wow.

The thing I remember most about him, unfortunately, was his having to move and leave Masassi. It seemed like he didn't care about loosing anything else as much as not being to do what he loved: edit or just plain enjoy JK/JO.

RIP

I believe the general concensus in the #massassi chat is to make something in honor of MaDa, like the mentioned level pack. Someone suggested asking for donations, which would be given to his family, which I think is a great idea.

Rest in peace, MaDaVentor. We all will miss you.

Man...I dunno what to say except what most other people have said. MaDaVentor was such a great guy to everyone, I didn't know him much, but I admit I always looked at the threads he made to view his impressive work with textures. My condolences to his family, as everyone else has as well. I agree with JediKirby, a map pack to honor his hard work in the Jedi Knight community would indeed be a good tribute to his hard work. He has moved on to a better place. I only pray he wasn't like many people I know who are the kind of people who are generally shunned by people due to their interests/life style/etc. (I hope you know what I'm talking about)

Rest in Peace, you will be missed, by those who knew you and those who were not as fortunate to get to know you.

I'm almost in tears, and I didn't even know him as well as I should have. My condolences to his family and friends...

If he was so much loved here at Massassi, just think of how much he was loved by people who knew him in person.

Certainly most of my favourite memories of #massassi come from talking with Adam, sharing ideas and the like.

He will DEFINATELY be missed.

I can't believe it.

I personally request that this thread be shown to his parents and perhaps at his funeral to show how much we cared for him, even though some of us didn't know him, but are still showing their love of one another

rest in peace mada

[teletubbie voice] BIG HUG!!!! [/teletubbie voice]

I rarely post here, but this is the most shocking thing, I was not expecting to see this when I came on to massassi, Adam was by far my favorite editor. I really looked up to him, mostly from reading his README's and seeing that he was a christian, and in I loved his levels. I am very grieved, but I know I will see him in heaven someday.

Same here Emon, exactly the same here.

Well, being a bit more lighthearted, I remember that thread where I first saw his scars from surgery and knew about his brain tumour. He had such a great sense of humour about it. Heh... I even remember one person making a joke about T2 when the Terminator's head was being cut open and how it looked like his scar and then "OMG HE'S A TERMINATOR!" Good times.

Rest in Peace, Adam.

That is a good idea, Genki. It is likely that I will print out this thread, or something and make sure his parents see it. The idea is greatly appreciated.

Wow...that honestly really ****ing sucks.



------------------
To think that once I could not see beyond the veil of reality, to see those who dwell behind. I was once a fool.

The MaDa Memorial level pack is now in the planning stages. I hope to have the pack orginized and started by the end of the week, up to the beginning of next.

It's so sad when someone so young is taken. I didn't know MaDa as well as some other people, but from what others said and from the all too brief times i talked to him, I could tell he was a great guy. This is incredibly sad. I will pray for his family. It's ironic, just as I heard this news I was reading the lyrics to this song from George Harrison. I think it's fitting. MaDa has gone on to a better place

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Good guy. To bad what happened, but its nice to think thats hes in a better place now.

This is incredibly sad. I'll be praying for the family too.



------------------
Some people are like Slinkies.... not really good for anything, but you can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs

Now that I'm over the shock a bit, I have something to say:

I barely got to know Adam. He was always very good to me. I respected him as an editor, but more importantly as a person. He possessed artistic talent that I could only dream of.

When he was sick with the tumor, I often wanted to say something to him. "Get well soon" or, "I hope you are recovering well." But something held me back. I didn't want to dwell on his ailment. I felt that he was probably recieving a lot of that from others. But today I wish that I did tell him. I wish that he knew that I supported his recovery. I wish he knew that even though I didn't know him well, I kept him in my thoughts (and prayers).

The truth is, no matter how you try to show tribute to him with level packs... the only true tribute you can give him is to follow his example. MaDa was never a jerk. He was always friendly and helpful. He will be missed.

Although I never really knew him, his levels were awesome.

I express my deepest sympathies.

------------------
Most people regard me as the dark and immoral side of Massassi. At least I'm getting what I want out of life.

Too true JL, too true. A true memorial would be to take his usually positive and light-hearted approach to life and the hatred within it, and make it a model for your own life.

.....

I can't believe it... if you want to show his parents how good a guy he was, as if they didn't already know, show them how many people have posted on this thread. Show them what he meant to a bunch of internet-people, the staggering majority of which I'm sure he never even had to meet in person.

Just....damn.

Adam and I use to talk fairly regularly. The last time we talked I knew he wasn't having one of his 'good' days, but I figured he'd pull through as usual. Over about the past week or so, having not seen him online in a while, I began to wonder if things had made a turn for the worst. I am deeply saddend by his passing.

I send my deepest condolences out to his family and friends.

This is the most horrible news I've had in what seems like an eternity. I'm honestly in tears right now. This is a crime against our community, and shouldn't be something we should have to overcome. To those who knew Adam outside of this community, my deepest condolences, he will be loved and missed by all. Such a sad day. I hope he's in a better place.

i was just thinking yesterday how a lot of us said we'd shave our heads in support if he had to go through another session of chemo (sp?)

the thing he and I always talked about was going to get a slurpee... not a slushee, arctic blast, icee, or any other ice-beverage. it had to be a slurpee...

also I remember how encouraging it was to see such a highly respected member of the community who didn't just give in and go with the crowd on the moral issues... he always seemed to have something positive to say and often it was from his Faith.

rest in peace, Adam.

Wow. I'm kind of at a loss here. I never expected this. I hadn't spoken with him in several months, but the last time I did he was doing pretty well, or so it seemed.

My strongest memory of him was helping him on his Acid Storage Facility level (16-bit patch). I remember spending several days working with him on the cogs for his respawning acid barrels, and several hours testing it and playing it with him. We had a lot of fun. I can't believe that was three years ago.

He was a great guy, very talented, great to work with. He will be missed.
