No words could ever be sufficient to describe the profound sense of loss that every member of our ingame family is feeling.
Members of Veto Corp from across the globe unite today to pay our respects to a fallen wingman, a brother in arms, and more importantly a friend.
The untimely passing of one of our most dedicated and fun loving family members has driven a spear through the heart of our corporation, sending a shockwave of pain and sorrow to the very foundations of what makes us who we are; our respect, friendship and love for eachother.
It has been a privilege, an honor and above all a pleasure for myself and every member of my corporation to fly alongside such a respected, level headed and selfless member of the Eve-Online community.
As CEO, the fact that DarkElf was part of our roster fills me with an endless sense of pride and as such he will remain with us along with fond memories of time spent together in game, flying our banner for as long as Tranquility stays online as a testament to his loyalty to his friends.
In private among Veto Corp members, a humble minute of silence has been paid. A time to reflect the happiness, humour and appreciation of life that DarkElf brought to our ranks.
For our newer members and our Academy trainees he was a shining beacon of what they would become in our corp and a perfect example of the level of player integrity we have come to expect and cherish from our core playerbase.
As a memorial to his love for piracy and his endless devotion to his corporation, members of Veto Corp have unanimously agreed to ensure he remains part of the DED most wanted list by contributing as much as they can to his bounty pool. Any members of the community who wish to do the same are more than welcome to contribute.
DarkElf will be sorely missed and never forgotten.
A thread of condolences has been opened on the Veto-Corp public forums, it can be found here.
The entire memberbase of Veto Corp offer our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

While I only had the opportunity to speak with him once, he came across as a very down to earth kinda guy, willing to help with anything he could.
My respects and condolences to DE's family, and to Veto as well; based on what I've heard of him, he ideolized the very things Veto stood for.

Beautiful video verone, thank you.
I am at a loss for words, so i will use anothers...
Quote:
Say not in grief that he is no more
but say in thankfulness that he was
A death is not the extinguishing of a light,
but the putting out of the lamp
because the dawn has come. -Tagore (edited slightly)
The incredible out pouring of grief from Veto and the larger EVE community is testament in itself to his character. He will be sorely missed and for many of us EVE and particularly Veto vent, will never be the same again.
I wish i knew him better, but i know i will never forget him.
Rest in peace DarkElf

I've played online games for seven years now. I've known many people in my time in online gaming, and I have to say that the majority of people I've spent time with have been great fun and some good friends. While I have known others more, for longer and got closer than I did with DarkElf, I can safely say that I'm not sure I knew any with as good a character. He always stood up for what he believed in, was considerate, helpful, friendly and always looked on the bright side of things, when others (myself included) could not. This is why we pay such a considered tribute to him.
This video is a fitting tribute and says all that I and everyone else in Veto feels.
Rest well Paul, I hope that we get a chance to meet again after this life has left us all behind.

I didn't know DE personally and I think I only met him a couple of times in game, but I want to pay respect to him, his family and all his friends by posting a few words. Words that maybe can give some strength and comfort in this moment of mourning.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousands winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
by Mary Elizabeth Frye
Fly safe DE.

Never have I wept so for a man I have never met, yet so well known.
Though his personality touched many of us, and his spirit remains with us, he was still like a stranger to me, yet as my brother.
With him we flew, without him we lament his loss.
There are few who I know who could broadcast such personality with only text and voice.
A man who can have true presence a whole ocean away is special.
One who could bring men to tears whole continents away is unique.
A friend is gone yet remains forever with us.
Might be naught but a game but the players are indeed real.
Rest in peace my friend and your memory remain forever in our hearts.

I don't think you ever met DE did you?
People don't say these things about people before they die because they don't expect to never see them again. And as for forgetting him? I seriously doubt that those of us that were close to DE will forget about him any time soon.

Although I didn't have the pleasure of ever meeting DarkElf, I always considered him a benevolent presence on the forums. The movie was incredibly moving, I'm not one to show my emotions, but I was on the verge of tearing up. Well done on the movie Verone.

What sucks the most is you take talking on vent and shooting the **** for granted. You'll think hey tomorrow's another day of having a blast, but when DarkElf hadn't shown for a while everyone started to worry and finally the news came. You feel as if you should put more into the small things of life.
