Heartbreaking news about our friend Stevo
Posted by Flash Wed Feb 10, 2021 5:33 pm
It is with a heavy heart that I share our friend Stevo, Steve Guidetti, passed away yesterday. He was only 32.
For those who didn't know, Stevo had muscular dystrophy and utilized a wheelchair for mobility. But that didn't define him. Stevo was an Eagle Scout, an open source coder, an artist, a gamer and of course a friend.
He was always willing to share his knowledge, posting tutorials and sharing code on his website and other places.
Stevo spent over 15 years gaming here at The Ville and dedicated a large amount of time to making sure our servers ran smoothly so we all had a family-friendly place to play. The Ville will carry on because you know that is what he would have wanted.
Stevo, you will be greatly missed.
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.
UPDATE:
Several Villuns have asked about the best place to send donations in Stevo's memory. Stevo had been working with Able Gamers, hosting a stream on their feed just a week before his passing.
Gizanked has spoken with Stevo's mother who agreed Able Gamers would be a worthy cause that we know Stevo supported. If you are so inclined please visit the Able Gamers Donation page and contribute in his memory.
If you choose to do so please expand the options at the bottom of the donation form:

Steve "StevoTVR" Guidetti
Stevo was also working to raise $200 for Black Girls Code during the month of February and has almost reached that goal as well.
