Nov 05, 2005 16:23:46 I am just writting to let eveyone here know that the webmaster of Dark Sun Rising.info passed away some months ago from complications due to injuries he suffered in a car wreck. I am his brother and I am trying to tie up some of the loose ends he left behind. I have access to his email accounts and his website, so if anyone would like to host the maps he created please email [email]david@asch.us[/email] and I'll probably let you. Don't try to email [email]david@darksunrising.info[/email]. There is too much spam at that site for me to sift through. I don't know how much longer his site will be up, but I will keep it up until it expires. If anyone has any questions or anything I will be more than happy to help you. He has some maps that he never finished so if anyone is interested please let me know. Thank you.

Tis' a sad day for us all. That really sucks. I'm just speechless right now.

Thanx for the info Dasch, I'm very sorry for your loss. David was a great addition to the ds community, and I know that everyone that new him, however impersonally (as these internet relations tend to be), will greatly miss him.

Rest In Peace David

Nov 05, 2005 17:33:46 I do not know what to say. But I want to express my condolences.
I translated some of his maps into German and talked several times to him online.
I will miss him.

Nov 05, 2005 17:34:51 I am still in shock from reading your post about David. I think I speak for the entire Dark Sun community when I say we are all very saddened to hear that he is no longer with us. David was an inspiration to us all and a respected and valued member of our community. We, the staff at Athas.org, the official Dark Sun website, wish to offer our condolences. David has done several maps for the project Dregoth Ascending and has helped us keep Athas alive. We would be honored to host his maps and the unfinished maps will be put to use in the projects in which David was working with us.

Again, I wish to offer our uttermost and sincere condolences. This has come as a shock to us all.

Nov 05, 2005 21:17:08 Hi Dasch,

First of all, you have my sincere condolences. I have had to work with David on few things by email and I always had pleasure to chat with him. I can't tell you that I understand your feeling because I just dont know what it is to have such a lost in my life. Somehow I just dont know what to write since I am so shock about this bad news. I just can understand why we didnt had any news from him for a long time and that you needed to be strong to trace back all is work and contacts to made them learn this.

Thank you for sharing with us. It is much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Sébastien Gamache

Nov 05, 2005 22:34:17 I had some contact with David through the art work for athas.org, and talked with him personnaly a few times, he was a good chap. His presence on the boards will be missed (in fact, already was).

David was also a dedicated Dark Sun fan, more dedicated than most, and that counted a lot to us. He'll be missed, personaly and professionaly.

To David!

This is a sad, sad day indeed.

I never really talked to David online much other than via the boards, but I will greatly miss him, his work, and his dedication to Athas that only most of us can dream of having.

Here's to the next adventure David, may it be a good one.

My next drink is for you brother.

Nov 07, 2005 7:01:18 It's sad to hear this. There was quite sometime I was asking myself about what happened, and we never think that it'll happen to someone we know.

In behalf of the Dark Sun Brasil Project, I offer my sincere condolences. David was one of those that had the talent to renew DS through the maps he did. In spite the distance geographicaly imposed, we will miss him even here.

Nov 07, 2005 12:06:46 I only knew David through his map works and some of his posts on the boards, but I know his talent will be missed by our community, and more than that will be missed by his family and friends. Honestly, I don't know what to say besides giving you and your family my condolences on your loss.

and many thanks for letting us know.

Although I haven't been with this community for long,
I have an idea of how valued David's contribution was,

Here's to Dave.
