I didn't know him -- or at least, didn't know him well since apparently we both played at TF: Legends at the same time (roughly 6 or 7 years ago, around 1998 or 1999), but Shaun White, former 2k5 admin/player was killed Sept. 13th (or thereabouts), when his car went off the road and into a ditch. Apparently, he was not wearing his seatbelt at the time and was ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. He was 27 years old.

At TF:Legends, he was Starscream and Megatron for a time. And also an admin.

At 2k5 he was known for Scourge and Galvatron and also the characters of Icon and Overpass.

There is a memorial service at 2k5 on Sunday, Sept. 17th at 7pm EST. All are welcome to attend. 2k5's telnet address is tf2005.net, port number 5555.

For those not familiar with MUSHing but wishing to attend the memorial, it is possible to join the mush using the basic telnet program on your computer (simply go to http://www.tf2005.net/ and click on "Help Connecting") or you can download a host program such as SimpleMU* or MUSHClient (links are available off the "Help Connecting" page above).

My condolences to Shaun White's family and friends.

Kathy.
