Here is my obligatory anniversary post for the death of Kevin 'Positive G' Speichts.

Yes, it's been 6 years to this day.



I'm still keeping his Longbow 2 website alive:

He passed before I joined the SimHQ Arma community, but I knew him through the tribute password I had to type while joining the server, 'positiveg'.

RIP.

I didn't know Kevin all that well as a personality on SimHQ, but he sent me some EF2000 stuff including some C code from an add-on he had worked on.

Thanks again man...and RIP.

Another poster I often think about is Destructus. He posted this song that I'd never heard before on one of my '80s music threads and it'll always be at the top of my motivational set-lists...



==========
Stand up on your feet
Your life is short as hell
You could be dead tomorrow
Today may be

Your last chance
To believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance
To be good to yourself
Your last chance to drink from life's well
==========



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

Man, what a nice guy Pos G was. Always willing to go out of his way to help and a great sport and team player. Had hours of enjoyment playing Joint Operations with him.

He is missed.

Very sad still but I'm grateful to be a apart of an online community that when at its best, conducts itself honorably and like a big family. That's rare in internet land. I didn't know Positive G as well as some of you all but when our paths crossed it was always pleasant and he was very helpful. I found the very first post that I could find with an interaction with Positive G back when I joined SimHQ and started asking questions. I was nervous asking questions and asked for my ignorance to be forgiven. This is his PSS message he posted to me.

Positive G

He seemed very quick to be kind and helpful unlike those others we often run into when navigating the internet. RIP sir and I pray his family is doing okay.

Here's to PositiveG and those who went ahead* after him, and their families.

Gone but never forgotten.

S! Bro.

Positive G was a great guy and I still remember very well the last ArmA session that he played with us before he passed away.

RIP.

It's good to be remembered, that's one of the biggest fears about death. I don't think I interacted with him, but I do know he was very well liked here and that's good enough for me.
I'm sure there are others that have passed that we don't know about too, so I'm glad the ones we do know of aren't forgotten.
How about a virtual toast in his honor and for the "unknown soldiers".
