Ken{ServerXtreme}
It hurts to even have to type this, but thoughts of the fun times we had online will get me through this letter. I will first explain the man i knew and respected as an all out great person. To me ken was like a brother that i never met, so much alike in our real lives that it was scary. I met ken in 2002 when i approached him about being a server sponsor for Area 51 gaming, a day i will never forget. We spoke for hours that night about so many things, we instantly had a friendship bond and it never changed. Ken became Area 51s sponsor when server sponsoring for teams wasnt handed out to even some of the best teams, ken wanted to help us become something great. In terms of the effect he had on our team, he gave us the tools to become something special...without kens faith we wouldnt have had the ability to progress as we did. Our team knows ken as our sponsor for 4+ years, not all really knew exactly what he meant for them and there team, they will now. To only tell how much he gave to area 51 would be to sell his legacy in our world well short of the complete story. I can sit here and tell you how many times ken sponsored servers for people to enjoy but fact is it would take all night. Most people never knew the support he provided gamers, ken never cared for the glory of it all, he gave cause he liked to help gamers enjoy themselves. Some may remember kens irc exploits....few beers, booting a random user in 51 irc chan or just talking about anything and everything. Some may remember ken as the guy who sponsored 51 for 4+ years. I promise this, ken will be remembered by so many as just the guy you could relate to, the buddy we all know in real life. To all who knew ken in gamings crazy realm, we lost a great man and a huge supporter to online gaming communities. To me, I lost a friend, a brother and someone i have tremendous respect for. I ask That we all understand the role he played in our communities, many didnt know till now how much he did for them. Lets all hope we can be as giving, friendly and personable as he was.
Ken passed away in his home when a fire began in his sleep, his wife misty and son kenneth escaped through a window and are physically ok. Goodbye my friend, my brother, we will meet again and share a beer and a laugh someday when i move on to the next level!!! Thank you for the impact you made as my friend and for being real in a world full of fakes.
