Very sorry to hear this. 43 is way too young. My sincere condolences to his wife, family and friends.

Ah D*** frown

I know.. not quite the words to use here, but seriously the first words out of my mouth..

I had some brief discussions with him in various forums here and always thought he was a stand up guy..

He will be missed..

Oh wow. This is terrible news. I played Longbow 2 a few times with Positive G and he was always active in the helo forums. He will be greatly missed. Please send our condolences to the family in this time of loss.

I don't know what to say, I'm in shock. Kevin and I played a ton online together, never met the man in real life but he was one of my better friends in the online gaming community.

RIP man, you will be missed.

I am stunned. I've known +G for so long I can't remember when, played Arma and Joint Ops and I think GR with him countless times, a couple of times I remember SpaceMarine was there, too...

This was literally the last thing I would've expected to hear.

We had a few discussions back and forth, and I always enjoyed speaking with him and listening to his opinions and thoughts. I had a lot of respect for him. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm absolutely stunned. +G was easily one of my favorite people on this site. He was always willing to help and he was a great sincere guy with a sense of humor. Anytime I would post a question about needing help with hardware or software I could always count on him to be among the first to respond either publicly or through a private message.

You visit sites like this and you make some friends along the way. You never really and truly know what the other people are like, without meeting them face-to-face, but you could easily tell that Kevin was one of the good guys. And I really thought of him as a "friend", as much as you can be friends in this manner. Heck, till now, I didn't even know his first name. I just called him "G".

My condolences to his family and friends. He'll be sorely missed.

I am truly at a lost here... Positive G and I had a long gaming and virtual friendship. Thou we have never met in person, he is one of a handful of very close personal friends I have here at SimHQ... and I fight back tears as I type this.

Positive G is one friend, one fellow gamer I will never forget... and we will carry on our hobby, one man short in our virtual squad, never to forget him.

RIP.
