Lady I am so so so sorry for your loss. Although I never met Gig my heart is bursting with sadness. The man wanted to go boating and fishing at the end how could I have not loved this guy. I know you are strong Lady and you’ll do ok, time is the healer of all things. My condolences to you and your family and take some comfort in knowing that he is pain free and probably gaming his heart out in heaven .

It sadens me to hear of your losses and all of our losses for that matter. I have been treated with nothing but respect from you two since my meeting alot of the RD guys 4 years ago and always appreciated the treatment i had gotten from gigawa and ladydeath. I met you two at UVALAN5 in LA and I must say a class act. My condolences Lady and I am truly sorry to hear of this.

RD is one of the nicest, mature clans to ever of existed on t2. Words can't explain how sad I feel for you all now. *S* from me and all the agents once again.

Lady...

My heart is heavy tonight learning of Gigawa's untimely departure...

I have very fond memories of you and Gigawa, and even though it was just for a moment in time, I will never forget the genuine kindness and friendship that you and Gigawa had for my son John....

I was truly moved to tears several times during the portland convention a few years back being with you and Gigawa and the rest of the dawgs... you really have made a positive impact on my son's life and I was absolutely honored to be a part of that very special occasion....

I will always have fond memories of the genuine kindred spirit that I felt being with all of you and Gigawa for his offer of friendship to my son...

John is right when he says the world's light is dimmer this night...


God speed...

With respect, love, and honor...
Cynagen's mom-

Lady, may God speed healing for you and yours... And I know that Phillip is with you now and forever....

edit by Moose - post merged with A Lost Founder thread by Moose.

I would often see threads of RIP this guy and i never or rarely seen them ingame tribes 2 and when i was linked to this thread i wasnt expecting this.

Altho i dont really know gigawa on a personal level only that when he was playing heavy offense it was always fun backlancing him and hardly ever letting him reach my base and i bet he was swearing over me too ;p

I recognize gigawa kinda like a celebrity and a father to many ppl in the tribes 2 base community and I probably wont forget about him in my 5 year grand adventure which started when I picked up that box.

RIP Gigawa.

I couldn't believe this when i saw it to begin with. It is indeed saddening to see a great man like gig go, but on the bright side, look at all the support that has come from the community. RD has done a lot for the Tribes community, it's given countless players a second family, and a great server to pub in. All of this is due in large part to the endless effort gig and lady have poured into RD.

I have seen many a player go over the past few years, but i have never seen such an outcry of support from such a small community. Gig was one of the greatest guys i've had the pleasure of meeting, and i will mourn his loss.

From the time i spent in RD i only knew gig a little bit but he was an excellent leader and friend. He will be missed by many. I still remember him telling everyone the positions they would be playing for the match. I remember nothing but great times weather it was a Tribe scrim or a match against uBp.

He will never be forgotten
R.i.P Gig we will all miss you


Beron.

Since I can't be there in person, I am with you in spirit and mind.

Everyone that sees this before 6 p.m. Pacific, please send an extra special thought to Lady and the family during this time of celebration.

Hello to all my former RD boys and girls....

Just saw this posted on the Agent forums, My condolences, Gigawa was A-OK and a dedicated t2 player. I can still hear him yelling at me for cursing in the server

Live up to what he created, keep RD going!

Lady, what can I say..?? I've been a complete stranger these past few months as work has truly bogged me down, and I am taught a tough lesson through these events..

Gigs, Moldy, and yourself plucked me from T.V. anonymity, befriending me and accepting me into your life and gaming family like you all knew me for years.. I know in my heart of hearts that this is how you all treat every individual you meet, with loving acceptance and courtesy beyond the norm.. This is the measure of a legacy that Gigs has left behind Lady.. A legacy that will never be forgotten by many like myself, those who were forever on the fringe, those who may have been outcast, those who simply needed to be befriended by people who's utmost desire wasn't to win, but to make lasting friendships...

As you can see there are many here who's lives were touched profoundly by Gigs, myself included.. You have both been so kind and loving, but most of all the joy I have shared with all of you, particularly Gigawa, well never be forgotten, not ever.. He was a true gentleman and he will surely continue living within so many hearts here..

My prayers are with you Lady, and if there is anything I can do, by all means, please do not hesitate to ask.. As someone so wisely said here, I'm sure Gigs is up there right now gaming his heart, and I can only hope, wish and pray that in some small way he can read the kind heartfelt words that so many have written here..

The Measure of a man is counted by the lives he has touched, and I count Gigs a very rich man indeed.. Take care Lady and know we love you in the very same way..

IP Freely
Dave

Dave said everything I wanted to say Lady, I am completely at a loss fo words. We are all hear for you Lady, we shall carry Gigawa's torch and hold it high and proud. Like Freely I was also accepted into this clan like family from the get go, never have I felt so welcomed by a group of players who get together and have fun in game and TS2. Despite my poor mannerisms at times and my on/off dedication as of late you've all made me feel like I belong to this great family.

My condolences to you and your family and to all who have known him as one the kindest, straight shooters around. My prayers are with you and as many have said in this thread time heals all wounds as you once told me not so long ago. We are all hear for you Lady and I know Gigs legacy will never fade.

Gig made me smile and I always smile. So even in a time like this I will continue to hold the joy. Gig would want us to Smile and not frown, so keep moving forward peeps and keep those tears flowing to eventually bring that joy back that Gig would want you to have. If there is anything we can all do is help Lady to not get down but get up. For God wants you to live full of JOY.

Lady everyone said it all before me and I apologize for replying so late. I have been so busy I haven't been on my computer since Saturday night.

Whatever you do Lady please do not even think about the game, just go about and get things settled. If only you could see me I would do whatever I could to make you feel warm inside. Yes with the other half of you passing, life will never feel complete. I hope for the best for you and your family.

May God Bless and may You keep him in your hearts, for Gig is now closer than you or I.

Matthew

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4

I wish I could say something or do something that would be helpful to You Lady!

I feel like most everyone else has said, that Your generosity and kindness has molded a group of strangers miles apart into a tight group of friends.

I pray you find the peace and love that is sent to you!

Hey I am sorry to hear what has happened its kinda breathe taking to me that this happen.. Its like the other day I was asking Gig if its ok if I borrowed Gigsworld for a UsF practice lol.. I know u all remember.... Lady if theres anyway I can help let me know and I appreciate everything u and Gig did and Gigawa will be surely missed.

I apologize for my late post. Somehow this got past me on our fourms and today I saw some updated comments. I grew to respect both of you and always found you more then fair in any dealings. We all share your great loss and as others have said I have no words to express my deepest sympathies to hear this news. Take heart in the fact that you two passed on your sense of right and wrong and good and bad to others that did not have someone to look up to. You and Giga are terrific role models and set a very high standard for others to follow.

God bless you in the coming days, surround yourself with family and friends.
