A Moment of Silence for Tigerheart

Mazzlefizz · 02-11-07, 08:45 PM

I just learned from a person who knows him in real life that Tigerheart passed away yesterday. I have no details other than that.

Tiger was a great kid who was very bright and relentlessly cheery. He even kinda looked like a Tiger, which is something that seemed to amuse him. He was someone who would always go the extra mile to help. Outside of what he did on this project, you've probably seen him on tons of forums, helping people fix their issues and picking up add-ons that were abandoned by authors and needed fixing. Needless to say, he was instrumental in getting this UI back up and running after 2.0. He did all of this while being a full time student and holding a job. And if you knew him in-game, on Argent Dawn, you'd know exactly how great and nice a person he was. I've never even once seen him in a bad mood.

And he was only 22.

You'll be missed, Tiger.

There just are never the words when you hear about something like this ...

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Wow that sucks..

. My deepest condolences to everyone that knew him.

I must admit, that is completely out of the blue. And he was just here the other day posting...moments like these really do leave you speechless.

I didn't every get to know him much except from his posts over on the Beta forum, but you could tell even from those that he was really a helpful and kind soul. You'll be missed, Tiger.

My sincerest sympathy for his family and friends may he rest in peace.

Tiger seems like a great person, wish I could've had the chance to play on Argent Dawn with him, but to the people who do know him, don't let him be a memory alone, let his work speak for itself and the accomplishments he did make here, and from what everyone says, I think he'll be looking down on all of us WoW players helping us out in all we do

GoE · 02-13-07, 07:50 AM

Yeah, wow. I was still waiting on a reponse to a PM I sent him after his advice about auctioneer just the other day. Sorry to hear.

This is sad. I'm sorry. He was very constructive. I'm proud of him.

I don't have much else to say, i wish i go to know him better.

You never realize how much you take something for granted till they're gone. Thank you tigerheart.

just so im clear is the second address a chapel of rest or a family address?..... I wont be able to make the funeral cause I live in another continent...... but i can at least send condolences to his family.

Mazzlefizz · 02-12-07, 08:57 PM

I didn't write the above, but I would assume that the second one is the home address and the first is the funeral home.

Kierrkian · 02-12-07, 10:04 PM

This is a very unfortunate thing to happen.. not only to his family but to the gaming community on the whole.

I send my deepest condolences to the family and friends. I lost my father this last October and I know its not going to be easy for you.

The Lord must have a need for him to call him back home at such a young age..

Nandy · 02-13-07, 07:45 AM

I send my deepest condolences to the family and friends. Tiger worked so hard, and to die at such a young age. Such a sad thing.

Housellama · 02-13-07, 06:49 PM

This is a true tragedy.

He will be missed.
