Widowmaker has passed away

[Starman]

A fellow ENWorlder and one of my best friends, Widowmaker (Patrick), died in a car accident this morning. I'm not sure of the exact details, but it appears he lost control of his vehicle on a patch of ice on the highway. In the ensuing accident, he lost his life. He was only 28 years old. The worst part is that he has a three-year old daughter that he leaves behind.

He is certainly the closest person to me who has ever passed away. My immediate family has always been distant from the rest of my family, so I never got to know most of them. I've been to a few funerals for them, but it wasn't really personal. I didn't know them. I met Patrick six years ago through a mutual friend and we became good friends. I can't believe he's gone. It's certainly not real, yet.

Anyway, he wasn't a prolific poster here or anything, but I thought I would let everyone know.

He certainly will be missed, and my thoughts will be with him and his family.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Starman. All my thoughts and prayers are with Widowmaker's family and friends.

I am very sorry. ENWorld will be less without him, even if he wasnt that frequent a poster, and we will also be here to help you.

Tragic to say the least, my condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Rystil Arden]

My condolences as well, particularly to the bereaved wife and daughter. It is always tragic when a life is cut short so young

I'm really sorry for you, Starman. My condolences to you and his family for your loss.

Crap.

My condolences go out to you in your time of grief

Oh man. It certainly is tragic when someone so young passes. It is made even more so when they leave behind children and a family. My thoughts go out to you Starman and Widowmaker's family as well.
