RIP Doomers

[fx]

As time goes by there are some things we cannot alter, and one of them is death. Unfortunately, this will be a "sad thread" for all Doomers that passed away. Thread will be locked so it won't get messy but you can leave your comments in this thread, and feel free to post pictures, links, pages or whatever you find about Doomers that are not with us anymore.

Anders Johnsen told me on Facebook that our fellow player Joe "DOOMMANN" Abene has passed away on 20.06.2012 of cancer. He contributed to COMPET-N with some nice Max, Tyson and fast demos.

Joe was best knows for his work as a skilled keeper at the Bronx Zoo, where he worked for 15 years and for his dedication to the conservation of the Chinese Alligator.

Really sad news for Doom community. RIP buddy!

Again, Johnsen told me that another Doom fellow Kim "Mutator" Andre Malde passed away (07/2012). He was a great Doom mapper that mostly contributed to Alien Vendetta and Crucified Dreams megawads. He was building a large Doom city map that was never finished and published.

RIP Mutator
