For those who may remember MaDaVentor...
2003-12-10, 2:14 AM #121
First words in my mind when I read the main page "Aww f--- no" [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] I really admired the guy, wasn't that bad of a JK gunner either. Even for an on-line community of Star Wars fans and the like, I feel like someone in a circle of friends is gone.

May you rest in peace MaDa.

Even though I diddn't know him very well, I spoke to him in the chat a couple of times and he seemed like a really great guy. I love his levels and always loved his posts in the showcase forum.

Goodbye MaDa, You will be greatly missed.

I just wanted to say, again, thank you everyone for your support, and sympathy. I know it makes me feel a little bit better.

I also just want to add a note that his condition was in fact improving, like most of you thought. But unfortunately his condition did start getting worse again, so it's not like it was/is wrong to assume he was getting better. There just wasn't anyone to really update on his condition. I would've done it, but I didn't know what he wanted you guys to know, so I didn't. But now that he has passed, it has pretty much become public knowledge, so I posted this.

We'll miss you MaDa, hope you've gone to a better place and that your family and friends are coping with it. This must be a hard time and though there's not much we can do as individuals, hopefully our community response will let his family know he was widely respected and achieved a lot as far as his peers were concerned and he had such a profound impact on us with his passing.

Goodbye MaDa, I'll be reminded of you every time I pass Mada Road.

Thanks FCTuner.

I never really knew MaDaVentor all that well, but I saw his levels and his textures (which have to be among the best ever made) and spoke to him a few times on and off in #massassi. He was always very friendly, and very encouraging when I told him I was thinking about going into JK editing. I never quite mastered JED beyond making boxes with rectangular corridors, but I still remember the hints and tidbits of advice he gave me.
On October 12, 2000, I lost my grandfather, one of the best friends I ever had in this world, to a combination of brain, liver, and kidney tumors. I know what it is like to lose a family member without warning, and I offer my sincerest condolences to his family.

Rest in peace, Adam. You've earned it.

I don't feel that I have the right to be too personal in this message since I didn't know Adam so well, but before his first surgery, I tested a few levels with him and talked to him a little on ICQ. He was a really nice guy and I am very sorry that he has passed away. I give my sincere condolences and wish all the best to the rest of his family.

I feel terrible. Madaventor was a very good person, he helped me a lot with textures and levels when i needed it. I talked to him a lot about stuff that might be going on in my life that i needed help with and he was always there. God bless his family. I believe he is still here with us.

As much of a dick as I generally am to people, MaDa and I were still fairly friendly. He helped me a great deal when I was starting out texturing things and was a generally nice guy, always eager to help. It's sort of ironic, I started using his Winamp skin again recently, even before I knew he'd died. In any case, he will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to his friends and family, may he rest in peace.
