This is incredibly difficult for me to write at this time but as some of you may have heard or maybe you haven't we lost another one. On June 4th Chris Severe was killed in a workplace accident. For those that didn't know his real name may recognize him in game as SpaceCowboy/Insomnia/Batman. Love him or hate him the man was a beast when he played and I'm sure many of you can attest to that fact. He may not have played recently but the time he devoted to this place was immense and he loved it for a long time. Back in 2002 BostonGeorge/RomanReigns introduced Chris and I to .org and we've all played off and on since then and they both had plenty of legendary runs. 

He was Rayden/ClassyLady's husband and a great father to young 2 boys. He was also my best friend for almost 3 decades. He will be sorely missed by all of his friends and family for the rest of our lives. I know everyone has their own problems and struggles but if you can spare a thought, prayer or contribute to his family it would mean the world.

Thank you for coming out and sharing the news with us. We all share a bond here as a community and I know from the bottom of our hearts we all feel this to various levels. Chris was well known and cherished here and I hope his family is able to navigate the best one can in a situation, such as this.

Many community members that are not present extend their thoughts and prayers.

I remember him from back in the day as SpaceCowboy and Batman.  Definitely will be missed. Hate to see another one of ours gone. 

Rest Easy Chris. 

SC was a ton of fun to play this game with whether you were with him or against him. Truly a good sport whether he won or lost and always brought bright light to every situation. An amazing human, a fantastic Father, and a great friend to many it is sad to finally see this post here but I am glad that it is so people can come together and honor the time they had with Chris.

I have so much I could say here but I think everybody already knows how big of a loss this is to our world and how irreplaceable of a person he really was. I will keep his family and friends in my prayers and know that he will always be here in spirit.

Rest in Peace SC :(

When I heard the news I was hoping it was some cruel joke. He was always so friendly and kind. 

I hope his family and friends can find peace. I hope the money we can provide will help ease some of the weight from their shoulders and heart.

Rest in peace 

Chris was a good guy I always think back to the days where we would have late night skype calls and the laughs we all had together. A tragic loss and my condolences to his family.

Rest in peace old friend.

Tragic to hear, SC put a lot into the game and was a special personality.   It seems every 6 months to a year i see someone has been lost to the community and is always nice to see people who have fine memories of them but always sad to see another go..

It is very sad to see another one of our community is gone. SpaceCowboy was a great player and always loyal to the side he was playing with. I think everyone who plays as long as I do and even longer have seen the name or heard about his dedication to play.

My last interaction with him was when he asked me to add him on Pokemon Go. It feels strange to his name there now.

Rest in peace SpaceCowboy. I wish his family lots of strength to overcome this tragedy.
 

A true legend lost.

We didn't play together as much as some others, but in a community as small as ours these events hit so hard.

My heart goes out to all friends and family.

You'll be missed Chris.

When I got this tragic news it broke my heart. My heart aches for his children, wife and their loved ones. He was a very kind man. And so young to be taken from us. I had the honor of having many in game talks with him. And he was very good with his game play here.

My prayers go out to his family and those in our community who feel the pain of losing him. 

While we did not talk much or know each other that well, when we did cross paths he was always friendly and more than happy to help, Rest easy Chris, I m thinking of you and your family at this time :(

Hurts me to see another friend gone before their time. You'll be missed Cowboy, I hope that you've found peace, you've left a huge hole here, but we'll carry on as best we can. 

It’s strange how a game friend can affect you.  I didn’t know Chris personally.  In fact, this is the first time I've known his real name. But I know most of his characters here on MR, and he has always treated them with the utmost respect, even when his hands were tied. 

As a game friend, you leave me saddened and wishing there were more like you.

Rest in Peace, my friend.
