Utopia Talk / General Talk / RIP DL

I'm friends with DL on Facebook and his brother posted to his account about an hour ago that Jason passed away this morning. No word on how, nor anything about arrangements for his funeral. I'll try to update as I see it posted..

I met DL back in 2003 when I was visiting Arizona. He was just as great of a guy in person as online.

Very sad news. I was struggling with how to make a post on this myself to let the forum know.

Words cannot express my sorrow for his passing. The world lost a good man and one of the biggest hearts I've ever known.

Spoke to his brother via messenger. He says heart attack.

Seemed too early when friends started having kids, and definitely too early now for friends to be dying. Not that we were close, but he was still one of my favorite peoples. Memorials to him should be open wounds, to keep him alive on Tralfamadore

If DL were here, he'd probably be reminding all of you that when he dies he hopes NOBODY goes to his funeral.

Those of you who failed to be cheered by that would promptly be invited to eat a bag of Hell, which he'd helpfully be carrying with him by the gross.

Besides, he's probably spying on some of you right now. Probably the women, bumping things off of night stands and what have you so he can watch you bend over to pick them up. He'll never be too far away, you can count on that.

Never met the guy, but the impression that I got was totally awesome! He is immortalized on the net and somewhere some AI is slipping on his veil and will eat our world! :P

I just read about this on facebook. And i just keep crying and realizing that the world lost a bit of what made it wonderful.
Nothing makes sense...my heart hurts.

Although I hadn't been as in touch the last few years, it's still very sad to think I and we will never get to joke around with him again. I originally joined Utopia when I was like 13 years old and now I'm 30, so I'd known Jason for over half my life and definitely during my teens! Very sad that he is gone.

it's been... many many years since I actually spoke to DL in any capacity really, I'm not one to keep in touch with people well. Still when I read this news on facebook it was like a punch in the gut. My first thought was to come here and post something. He was a giant of a person and I felt as if he truly loved life.

I remember a few years ago I was at a friends house and he pulled up this picture online of a big guy with a machete, I can't remember why exactly, but the first sentence out of my mouth was "I know that guy!".

Damn.

When I think of UGT, his name comes up first.

From GT, to UO, to WoW, I spent a lot of time bullshitting with him.

I can't count the number of times he offered to BBQ if I ever came down to Arizona. Should have taken him up on that.

Fuck.

RIP DL

Jason was a wonderful human being. The UGT we all know and love, that we grew up with, that we will hold in our memories forever - he made it that. His very presence was larger than life. If something great happened in UGT, he was undoubtedly a part of it. I will miss him.

And just so you know, I love all of you - my dearest internet siblings.

Lol Damian.. I've done that too with Jason's picture!

I truly will miss that guy. Definitely makes me want to reconnect with people.

I would dearly love to know where some of the people I talked with daily for so many years are now..

Althea? (Nighty) one of the two women in my life that I've ever romantically loved.
Martijn? (Shartendar)

Shit even old Vix!

I couldn't remember my password so I registered, "The High Queen ANA" (odd I didn't already have it?) My post were not showing up so sorry if this one will be a double, but DL deserves more than one post. <3

Anyway what I said was, thanks to Wakka for letting me know about DL's passing as I didn't know. I was really sad to hear this, may he rest in peace.

Terrible news. I was just thinking about UGT the other day and DL was one of the first guys I thought of. We lost touch more recently and were pretty different people in a lot of ways, but for a long time he was one of the people I talked to most on ICQ and I always liked the guy.

Still trying to find words here. We had so much fun making HoD a clan in a Ultima Online shard. It was just me, DL and Josie at first. Then Madcat and some regulars that came later. One of the regrets I'll always have is that I didn't keep up with DL.

I think he would have been tickled by many of the commenters. Not all of them were bad. Jason's internet fame lives on.

Thank you for sharing this, Billah.
