43? That's so young RIP
Another lost two in one day. I give my regards to him his friends and family, R.I.P He will be missed, Tho not even playing the game yet, but whenever I do I will remember this article.
He still had a long career ahead of him. My heart reaches out to his friends and family. He sounds like he was a really talented guy and loved what he did with his life.
43?! That's all? That's so young. Too young. Very very sad.
This absolutely sucks, he was a really talented man. R.I.P.
43 is way too young.
RIP
That’s sad to hear. May he Rest In Peace. Condolences to the family.
It breaks my heart when people this young die. He had so much to live for. RIP Brad Venable. RIP.
While don’t have anything to say, I just thing 43 is too young too die. RIP
So sad and so young.Rest In Peace..
Very sad news! 😔
I'll be hearing from him soon, I just got FE 3 Houses in the mail yesterday. I was thinking it might be weird to listen to someone knowing he's no longer alive, but then again, I'm listening to a mix containing Big L, Guru, Tupac, ODB, and several others right now. And earlier today I was listening to Chopin, even though it wasn't him playing the piano of course.
Well, part of all of them got immortalised in creation / art, and they get a rest from the insanity of this world. If the conscience lives on somehow, I hope they all have peace with that, and learned some valuable things in their time here.
Tragic news,
Wierdly I was playing Three houses on Thursday night and met Nader for the first time. 😞
this is unfortunate news to hear. rest in peace.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
Damn, this is just sad. At least his voice will be somewhat immortalized by being in the best fire emblem game
I remember when I felt that 43 was old. Now I know 43 is young. Sorry for him and his peers!
