A Crow has Fallen - Coolwaters

[pang 4,173]

RIP Crow.

Through the few spirited convos we had on various topics could tell he was passionate about this game. Heartening to hear that's how he lived life as well.

Terrible news

Condolences to the family and all his friends. Can't say I knew him but enjoyed the times I met him ingame. 

[ArneAnka 39]

So sad and to early, condolences to those he leave behind.

See you in the afterlife!

In the context of his last post, the lore of SB/CF, and the sound of his active outdoor nature, I donated for the planting of twenty trees for my fellow druid and theorycrafter via the US National Forest Foundation

@Pann I wonder if it would also be possible to give him the forum title of "Fallen Hero"?

I never really spoke with Coolwaters, but I did enjoy playing along side him and some of the battles we had on the field. He will be missed by many in the community.

Only played with coolwaters randomly as a mercenary in CSO in SB throughout the years. Pretty sure we fought against him a few times as well. I don't remember anything negative about him, but his metas and theory crafting was heard of, and inspired others to try out new metas as well. Sad day for the community and I hope Winterblades is doing ok.

I had asked if we all signed a petition we could get something more permanent in game for him than even "named fallen hero". He meant a lot to this community and this game. Some of the ideas and foundation he laid for it should have his name stamped in it.

My condolences to everyone who knew him. We will remember him.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and lasting gesture. That's just awesome.

It has been 11 years since I first met Cool and have enjoyed playing with and against him. Always cordial. Peace be with his family and with his extended family in Winterblades. Our thoughts are with you. 

[Avloren 664]

This thread was hard to read. I barely knew him - only from these forums - but I always thought he was the best poster here. He had a way of attacking subjects with a balance of passion and logic that I frankly admired, and aspired to emulate when I could. Now I wish I had told him that, and I can't.

It was clear how much he loved this game, I couldn't wait to see what he'd pull off when the real campaigns started. Knowing that will never happen.. I can't put into words how it makes me feel. Our whole community is a little less without him.

I can't begin to imagine what his real friends and family are going through. I want you guys to know he'll be missed, even by those of us who only knew him from here.

RIP, Coolwaters.

You were helpful, constructive and unifying here.

I expect you were a blessing to all, and touched further than you knew IRL.

[Conspiracy Theorist 445]

There aren't better words than those already written for such a great person. 

Will miss you, bud. You were one of the very few special people in these chaotic virtual worlds that could impact not just who we became as players, but people.

I am sorry that so many years went by, and all I can do now is offer my most deepest sympathies to your family and friends. Your passing is a tragic loss.

A great flame of life and experience was extinguished by your passing. A light and beacon of friendship that shan't be forgotten.

[washuu 92]

from reading one thread to another this is still hard to process. From playing sb with many of y'all over the years and even reunited and meeting old faces again from the sb emu's and even other adventures in games we have all played together memories like this don't fade away.

 

To my friends in Winterblades; Coolwaters is a true eternal flame of the guild.

So very sad.........But knowing he went his way makes a wonderful memory of a special man

[that_eriksson 122]

This is a definite blow to all of the community who lost a great person.  I did not get to personally talk to him long but was always nice and helpful to me.  Condolences to the family.

[varg 2]

Coolwaters was a stand up guy and was way too young to go. My thoughts are with his family.

[imortalis 145]
