Sad news regarding a Jumpgate old timer

Jump

I saw this at JOSSH forums. A little bit of Jumpgate was lost to us.

Digi was NetDevil's first actual employee, hired directly out of high school during Jumpgate's development. As an artist who worked with NetDevil founder Peter "Piza" Grundy, Digi contributed a great deal of material to Jumpgate's original release. During beta, in addition to his art duties, he posted Jumpgate news and events using the name "Dygitis Locke". He remained involved with Jumpgate through Episode 2, and was responsible for nearly all the art content for that expansion. Digi left NetDevil in summer 2004, to spend more time in the Colorado outdoors he loved so much. He was still only in his late 20's this year.

Please join us at NetDevil in offering Digi a very old Egyptian blessing, so appropriate for both those departed, and the spacefarers of a distant future:

"May (the) God(s) stand between you and harm, in all the empty places where you must walk."

I was surprised as well when I read it. I remember we shot him a couple times in beta and early retail, as he used to fly around in a blue suit.

It's shocking and sad to hear this. I didn't interact with Digi much but I'm always amazingly moved when I hear that someone from the Jumpgate community has passed, even those I didn't know well. This community really is a strange little family in some ways.

Great Egyptian quote by Isty by the way.

I dont remember Digi very well, but my thoughts & prayers are with his family. Maybe Jumpgate Evolution will do some tribute to him. Was there any reason for his death?

I remember him well and he will be sorely missed.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and Friends.
