I really don't know what to say about this as I was a bit taken back to the news. I am sad about this whole thing. A young guy with promise and talent is now gone. I am sorry to the family and friends. As shocking as the news is to us on the internet, I am sure the pains and sorrow go further to those that were close to this young man. This is a tragedy and a loss to many and I wish there was something we could of done to help show how great life really is regardless of our surroundings at times.

I will pray for your family.

Holy shit. I completely expected this to be a funny post when I read it, and I had to read it three times for it to sink in. :(

I don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry Nick for your and your family's loss. FreeStyler was a true icon in SS and this community. Even though I didn't know him personally we had a few years of good times together on the servers and the forums.

He will be missed. :(

04-26-2007, 07:35 AM
This is devisating, I really don't know what to say. When Mark entered games it always put a smile on my face, we'd have great conversations, and always have the best matches. I remember him talking about his music, he loved his music (one of the reasons he gave for moving on from SS), and based on the creativity he brought to SS, I can only imagine how wonderful his compositions must have been... He was such a respectful and generous guy, he even gave me his hard earned SS2 beta spot (and although the beta never happened, it was a wonderful gift that put my name in the SS2 manual, there was no way I could have ever repaid him). I'm so sorry Nick, for you and your family's loss. He will be missed by all who knew him...

edit: I just re-read his PM giving me the beta, brings a tear to my eye...

It's very hard and saddening to lose a clanmate that I hadn't gotten to know very well, so I cannot nearly imagine how you and your family must feel right now. It is a shock to me and he will be missed greatly indeed. I hope it's atleast a small constellation that you have all of us on the GM forum to support you. I wish you the best of luck for the future. I will keep him in my thoughts.

I have no words to say I am deeply shocked and so depress by this news. I spoken to him a few times on the phone but it was a while ago. I will miss him so much and I am so terribly hurt by this news. Nick I only wish you and the family would not have to be going through this sadness and it breaks my heart to hear such news.
He will not be forgotten.
I think we should have a small picture at the beginning of the page of GM of him and leave it. I feel he deserves to be honored and remembered.
Sas

RIP my friend and in spirit.
"† 1982 - 2007 R.I.P. Mark a.k.a. Freestyler †"

I just got on now and it's too late for me to send anything out there but believe me I really did like him very much and had many conversations with him even about hard times.
King of SS2 I feel he was the best players and go figure that it was I who trained him and then he became the teacher to me when he started with DOA.

Well done.

I ask for a favor from you sho being that you are the Admin.

I like very much to add his picture of him smiling at the Serious Sam section
like a sticky post and have this who section put on and always keep it there at the top to remember him.

I would appreciate very much if you can.

Please everyone lets get the Admin to do this for I feel it would be the right thing to do for FS-Mark.
