Losing one of our own- CSP Report #5

Your light will shine on


Good evening CSP members. Some of you might have noticed my MIA for the last week. Xen was in the loop as to my absence and now that I am finally to myself sitting in an airport awaiting my layover, I am using this report as a bit of therapeutic relief if you would. Normally this isn't something I would share, but due to him being a long standing member of this Clan and the DJB, it only seemed the right thing to do. Last week my real life Brother as many in the Clan know as "Jacob Van Nowak" here in the CSP was killed in an accident.


I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that it is real. For years we worked down the road together in the military, even maintained a deployment together, gamed together, and anything that brothers would do. As many of you know I tend to clown a lot, and sometimes a bit much. He was the opposite to most of my actions. He was the older wiser one who could "tame" the craziness when I would push it to far and bring me back to reality. His presence at many of the life events that I would miss for my own family when I could not be there due to my own career commitments, and deployments at these times.


His career throughout the DJB spanned before the exodus. He was known in the EH, TC, DB, and even here. Most of his recent time was spent focusing on RL work and a little less on the DJB, but he was here for CSP when we needed him. Without his guidance I would have never found any of these groups and made the lasting friendships in the DJB that I have with like minded Star Wars lovers.


Closing


Life is very short. I have always known this to be true. I have witnessed it first hand, and the news as of late is always showing us how tragic it can be. You just never expect it to hit this close to home and when someone has so much life to live. I know many others have experienced it and I mourn with you. Let us remember my brother for the good person he was. My life's perspective has changed so much more from this. As always Scholae, go forth and do great things. I love you and will always miss you Brother. Tonight we drink one for Jacob.

My Condolences.... Sorry for the loss!

As I said through Telegram, I feel really sad about what happened. I'm truly sorry for these terrible news. My condolences, Cruise.

Sorry for you and your families loss Cruise. I didnt know your Brother that well, but I know of him through his work in the TC and hanging around CSP a bit when I was there. I cant fathom your pain, nor will I try to quantify it. All I will say is if you need people to talk to, you have that vent here.

We have lost a great man, but he is "One with the Force" and belongs to the ages now.

Our hearts are with you in this time, my friend. :(

A comment on a website means little, but for what it's worth I offer my sincere condolences and will have a toast in your brother's honor. We are always here for you man.

My condolences, Cruise - I'm sorry about your loss. I hope that you and your family get through this okay. I'm sure that I echo a lot of sentiments when I say that whenever you need us, we're all here.

My condolences, dude. I was sad to hear of your loss and I cannot imagine what you are going through. I hope that you and your family manage to get through all this okay.

I'm sorry

You have my condolences, Cruise.

My condolences for your loss. As a brother myself I can't even fathom your loss.

I am sorry to hear that, Landon. My deep condolences.

We love you, Cruise <3. Prays and thoughts.
