Murph was a great person, who always smiled and made me laugh.

Everyone who knew him will miss him.

I don't really have anything else i can say right now besides I know he is in heaven and making it a better palce.

bye murph.

rest in peace mate.

[Hablacraja]

I'll definitely remember his sense of humor. Murph was an integral part of this community since as far back as I can remember.

Bye, man. Godspeed.

[TheLoneKnight]

..Damnit. He was the only guy in the entire forum who actually made me laugh.

Any idea how he died? The article just says "died unexpectedly". Were there health problems? Was there an accident?

This place just isn't going to be quite as amusing without him.

Bye Murph.

[General Blaze]

Murph? One of the DOW mods?

I don't know what to say aside from "Rest in Peace". I really don't know much about him other than he's a fun guy to talk to.

Also, how on earth did he die?

Anyways, god bless you Murph.

[The5thElephant]

Hey Murph,

You were the shit. Best avatars, best attitude, best posts. Your dorm bathroom dilemma had me in tears I was laughing so hard.

I hope you went out happy.

Bye, Murph

Oh and sorry for annoying you on AIM so much.

[Tails]

Rest in peace, Murph.

[the_sidewinder]

bye murph

I hope this isn't true, they are double checking on IRC

RIP, you were indeed one of the best on these forums

[GuaRRand]

I knew murph from way back in HW1 days (around 1998 ) and have enjoyed many a game with him.
I remember our days in NWN when we roamed around MERP together.
Not to mention the good times we had on various forums

I will miss him alot....never expected to be writing this... :lonely:

R.I.P. Merf!!

[Hyperian]

wow that sucks, anyone know how he died?

[molo]

This is just awful. I don't really... just... fuck. Murph was a great guy, a friend for years.

He'll be missed.

[motiv-8]

Bye Murph, RIP.

[Soulblighter]

He was more then just a forum moderator. Was with the community since hw, posting in countless clan forums and this forum as well. Always on irc. His first nickname here was DeafandDumb.

[frstkor13]

it was said he had a heart attack, but apparently his family is havign tests done now because that may not have been the case

[Trinity]

Can you hear me now?

gg Murph.

[Caesar]

Rest in peace Murph. May you forever be remembered.

[Dj]

Christ..... Please tell me this is some sick joke...

If not, R.I.P. Murph. I only talked to him a few times, but from what I gathered he was a great guy.

[ÜberJumper]

later dolt :-(

[Someguy]

"There is no sound"... I'll miss you good buddy...

[the_living_god]

I guess he made it to his Homeworld.

Didn't really know the guy, but I can sat that he was always willing to help, and I like that in a bloke.

There should be some kind of a tribute here.

Has there been any mention of a funeral?

:sadpanda:

[General Nuke Em]

Rest in peace, Murph.

[Handarazuur]

I'm sure he's living it up with God right now, having a beer and remembering us live suckers.

We'll miss you Murph.

-Hand

[Locutus]

:rip:

I didn't know Murph as well as most of you, but he was a great guy on IRC. Good luck, and godspeed. May you rest in peace, I hope you can see Hiigara from up there.

[Void]

RIP Mate...

[Fitz]

There'll be music in heaven mate. And i bet you're loving it.

Take it easy.

[Shin]

I'm not sure, but I think that captions in HW2 could be partly due to Murph's criticism of HW1's occasionally lacking captions. I can't confirm it and I'm not really up to it right now.

I'm going to miss Murph.

Like many others I've only really known him through IRC. With the others we've talked and joked around for the past 4+ years. He shared his weight and work concerns with us, and I'd like to think we helped him develop his self esteem by treating him normally. No one is deaf in IRC.

There's an empty hole in the nicklist right now, right by the L, M and Ns.

You're a great guy Murph. I'm glad to have met you.

[Beelzebuddy]

Later Murph.

[Retroboy]

Aw geez. I really liked the guy.

Being the inconsiderate prick that I am, I'm not going to haul out the checkbook and make a contribution to the Muscular Dystrophy association as the news article requests for those that wish to leave some sort of memoriam.

I'm going to write up a donation for Child's Play. The way I figure it, Murph probably saw the inside of a hospital more than once or twice in his younger years because of his deafness. He'd probably have appreciated having a video game or two to play, and maybe the same could be said for other kids.

I think Murffles would think something like that was cool, maybe.



(bye)

[Mr.Popo]

This is just... Christ I don't even know what to say. I still remember his "Cataclysm Ninja" thread from way back when...

Rest peacefully, Murph. You were an integral part to this community, and even though I didn't know you that well, I still feel shell shocked by this news.

gg, hf, carry on. You will be remembered.

[molo]

Agreed, Retro. I made my donations a while ago, but I'm going to tell myself and anyone who asks that they're in memory of Steven Jagaczewski, 1984-2005.

Fitz's words are comforting, as are the old threads frst's digging up and the talk on irc. Take care, man.

[Vijil]

gg - good guy.

[Mokona]

Rest in peace, Murph.

[Da_Fish]

Rest in Peace Murph. :rip:

[mailpup]

Rest in peace, Murph.

[The_Assimilator]

Requiescat in pace, Murph. Your zany sense of humour is missed by everyone.

The Relic Community is poorer without your presence. Wherever you are now, take care.

[Remmington]

RIP Murph,

You were truly a great man.

[No1lives4ever]

Aw, never realy got in conversation with him, but seen him plenty around here.

Rip Murph

[SlickWilly]

I didnt really know him, but his posts made me laugh.

Rest in peace, Murph.

*sniff*

[Fitz]

If anyone can find murph's avatar (the sign language one) i'd be very grateful.

[Nurizeko]

Didnt know him all too well but he was a familiar face on the forums and very obviously a involved member of the community who made it a brighter place (especially in relation to some members depressive attitudes :P) where-ever he is now he's probably making that place a little brighter to.

Rest in Peace, dude.

[SlickWilly]

...somehwere deep inside myself I am clinging onto the notion that this is just a big, cruel, joke. I'd give a kidney if it was.

[Molle]

I hope this thread makes it to his family.

Murph, it was a pleasure and a honor. You did make a difference.

[Verrin]

Damnit Murph, why did you have to go and die.

Rest in Peace.

[General Nuke Em]

I hope this thread makes it to his family.

Assuming nobody has their emails or anything like that, anybody live close to Canterbury, Conn.?

[Tiberius Nero]

I had only spoken maybe once to him, but I truly feel sad about this; let him rest in peace; the Greeks used to say that the gods take away early the ones they favor; I hope they were right in his case; goodbye, mate, though I never knew you

[the_living_god]

Perhaps someone could write a letter to his family on behalf of the community?

[Fitz]

I've already dug out his parents address. I will write something over the weekend and in it will point them here.

[Benjamin]

I didn't speak to Murph, but I still find it sad.

RIP.

Ben.

[Ramrod]

I imagine he's probably playing a bug-free Homeworld∞ up there, with the G-man himself.

RIP.
