To Duanes family wife and son,
ReplyDeleteA lot of us across the country mourn the passing of Duane. We knew him as Warlord and spoke and played the Mechwarrior online game with him failry regularly. We saw him as a skilled player and were always glad to have him as part of our DKL clan. We are all shocked and as a result of a computer oversight the news of his passing was delayed in coming to us. It is sad that he passed so young. We will all miss him very much.
The game we play rely's heavily on trust and communication. Warlord could be counted on to do his best and so we all relished playing with him. He was skilled. He also though our Ventrillo site had many occasion to speak with most of us. Often subjects ranged far from the game and we all enjoyed the benefit of his counsel.
We all pray for him and for the Lords strength to those he left in passing. Until you are reunited may God watch over you eternally.
