Heartbreaking news about our friend Stevo

[Private Belgarion]

I know It has been a long time since I've been around but I still remember the laughs we would have in DOD and DOD2, also in TF1 and 2 most of them centering around Stevo. Rest In Peace Stevo.

Duke, that was a wonderful song you selected for him.

For those who had the privilege to game with Stevo over the years, what is your favorite memory? Let's take this opportunity to remember the good times and what Stevo meant to us all.

OMG, I'm so sad to hear he's gone. He was always a calming influence on the TF2 servers and fun to chat with in-game. I've been away from the Ville for a few years, but I missed his distinctive voice and was glad to find him occasionally streaming on Twitch recently. Now I wish I had at least said hi to him there instead of lurking.

Pillar of the community.

I just chatted to him a couple weeks ago while he was stream Alien Isolaton. I'm really surprised by this, he seemed like he was doing ok health-wise.

Rest In Peace Stevo.

[xXBatmanXx]

Wow. This truly breaks my heart and chips at my soul.

I have been a villun a long time, some of you I know very well and some are new names as I have dropped off of the gaming scene over the years. My greatest memories of Stevo was he was always there to chill, listen, and chat. I have gone through my own trials and tribulations over the years, and as much as we chatted, I wasn't aware of his even as an elder of 10 years. I feel shame for that.

He is a greater soul than I. We are fortunate to have had him and I am a better person for having crossed his path.

RIP brother.

Goes to show how good a person he was inside and out.

The $200 goal has been reached, but there is no cap. So keep donating in his honor.

[The Domer]

Terribly saddened by this news. As others have said, Stevo was the heart and soul of TheVille for as long as I've been around. Rest in peace, friend.

[Will T.]

I made a quick tribute to Stevo in Source Filmmaker last night. The Ville won't be the same without you...

[Inner]

I'm in shock and will have to process this some more. Many are Villuns, but Stevo was the rock. Rest in Peace sir.

[Quandary]

I'm speechless. I cannot form words.

I have such a hard time imagining TheVille without Stevo.

He always seemed to be around, doing all sorts of stuff in the background to Make Things Work. I guess it's too late now to thank him for it.

[DrunkenTrom]

Stevo was one of the first people I met while playing on the Ville TF2 servers with my brother Lt.Tango after he talked me into building a PC so I could play games with him after I had moved away from home to the East coast. This was shortly after TF2 had been released as part of the Orange Box. Stevo immediately became one of my favorite people to play with due to his light hearted nature, hilarious understated sense of humor, and just the way he made everything so much more fun! I'll always remember melee mania and the countless custom map nights fondly as some of the best gaming experiences of my life, and mostly due to Stevo's antics. Although the Ville is filled with great people, Stevo always stood out as one of the most fun and all around just a great human being. He will be missed by many as he's touched most everyone that had the pleasure to meet him. RIP Stevo.

[FUSE]

I didn't know Stevo well but this community was a big part of my life for a time and Stevo was one of the many people I always looked forward to playing with in my days as a regular. I'm so very sorry to hear of his passing. He was clearly a great man from reading so many wonderful posts and I'm honored to have made a donation to AbleGamers in his name.

[Supreveio]

He was a chill guy, and helped me come up with the username I go by today. A major player and community pillar of TheVille, and a charitable man outside of TheVille.

Never forget the deadpan "what".

[Checkm8]

I enjoyed the years of gaming, talking programming and enjoying his streams. He had a great personality for all the troubles this world brought him. I hope we all can carry his enthusiasm for life. He will be forever missed.
