Scott at karaoke - the first VS Fest in Toronto

Very very sad...I'll miss his humor, his wit, his chattiness. :(

Thirty Two...he was only Thirty Two years old...Christ what a shame.

Good pic of him and Lux.

Man, I was at that table with them. Good times.

Great picture Bren and Killian.

I am sorrowful for everyone here. Please pass condolences to his family if you haven't already, provided anyone gets the chance.

I never met him but Torrin was someone I always looked forward to meeting one day. I know him probably least of anyone here but there is now a hole.

What does that say about him? I know it says more than I can say in words.

wow, I'm shocked. We go back along way in the virtual world,I will miss him greatly.

Oh my god.

Dude. Fuck.

I mean...fuck.

Torrin was such an integral part of this guild, such a representative of VS's spirit and sense of humor and absolute insanity. It's...I don't even have the words. I just can't imagine Torrin not being around.

I'm so, so, so saddened by this. I'm so, so sad. Fuck.

Wow thats quite a shock. Torrin was one of the people who kept me coming back and staying in touch with VS after all these years I've stopped playing alliance. I know hectigol started the thread but Torrin was super cool stuff I found.

Please pass my regards.

Oh god... I can't take it any more! Stop dying, guys!

Torrin was awesome! When we went to Seattle last year he picked Arachne and I up from the airport and we took her maternity shopping. The idea of Torrin taking us to the maternity store still makes me laugh, but he was a real sport about it.

I loved the way Scott injected random funny into everything. And sometimes not so random thoughtfulness. Aside from being a crazy-funny guy, he was a big sensitive teddy bear and I am really glad I got to know him and meet him in person. VS, and more importantly the world, will sorely miss him.

R.I.P. Scott...

oh man. that's horrible news. i was looking forward to meeting him if he could have made it to the VS Fest this year. i loved the randomness, the crudeness, the commenting just to comment and to say something, to see something in guild chat. i agree with Stranger that he was so representative of the VS spirit.

that really saddens my evening. i'll miss him and his personality. i'm sorry i never got the chance to meet him

this is so awful. I saw this earlier and I can't even figure out what to say. it just happened like a lightning bolt, like it always does. sorry i'll never get to banter with him again.

I know I was very quiet during the formal service for Scott, but I wanted to at least say something here. I'm not very good with dealing with death (who is?); I tend to be very quiet and reflect inwardly by myself. Still, I couldn't disrespect him by not showing at all tonight. I found myself shifting between intervals of being numbed out in denial and not being able to keep from crying over what was said.

Before I joined the military, I had all the time in the world to play WoW til whatever hour I wanted, and I often found myself screwing around into the early morning hours, and beside me of course, was Scott. For a while there, we were part of the VS late night crew, scrambling to piece together random heroics and things of the like with the people who were too tired or drunk to do much of anything else besides tag along on old content runs for rep. It's hard to think that it won't happen anymore.

I know there are plenty of people who got to know him in person, have known him longer, or were closer. Regardless, he was a good friend of mine, and I regret not talking to him more recently and supporting him outwardly. There's no justifying it, but I figured that Scott was just gonna pull through. To me, he could take anything. All the problems he had with work, health, women, what have you, he had because he could handle it; because he was supposed to be an inspiration to the rest of us - the kind of great person you could be even when the rest of the world wasn't so kind to you to begin with. It's a great injustice to see him go. I'll miss him a lot. It means a lot to me to see everyone show up to the service. In my opinion, I think it matters a lot more in the end to be remembered fondly and be an important part of someone's life than anything else you could work for in this world. Scott deserved that.

He was good for singing songs. Even the popular hip-hop ones that he would never admit he listened to.

I never got to know him. Still brings me down since I can see he meant a lot to all of you. I don't really know what else to say.

This is really sad. I don't have much else to say, I'm afraid, other than this is really sad.

As he, at some level, touched us all, he will be a part of us forever.

Since my first post was pretty much just an outburst/reaction, I just wanted to add a couple words.

Those of you that were able to make it to tonight's memorial can probably tell how much I cared about Scott.


Scott, you will be missed...

Love you, man.

I am glad we did the memorial. Scott was a great guy and he will be missed. We owe it to him to keep on being the awesome guild that he knew and loved. I think he would be glad to know that in this dark time we still have the guild to lean on.

Bren... hope this doesn't freak you out too much!

I was looking on Scott's Facebook and found this picture which made me so SAD. It was taken in Toronto during VS Fest - we had a big party in my condo one night and this was the upstairs hangout (aka my bedroom).

Ignoring Bren's hairy legs in the front, you can see Torrin beside him and in the back is Wabo (who was also taken from us too young) and he is petting my cat Tommy who I lost just a few weeks ago. :(

Words aren't coming right now, but the sadness definitely is :(

I'm at a loss for words. Totally shocked and saddened by this. :(

I'm so, so sad that Scott had to leave us so soon. He was a wonderful, funny guy. He's left a big Torrin-sized hole in this guild that will never be filled.
I'm sorry I didn't post this right away, but it's hard to express what I feel through text. I'm also sorry that I missed his WoW memorial.

Even though I did not get to know Scott very well in my short time so far in the guild, I am so very saddened by this. I think it is because I can tell how much he really meant to everyone here in VS -- in game and in real life. I was really looking forward to meeting him at VS fest. Thank you to Craig, Bren and Michelle for organizing everything last night. It was a very nice tribute, as was the spontaneous gaming afterwards.

One of my favorite pictures from back in the day, damn...
