As many of you have heard on Facebook, Twitter, and the various sharings from Eve players, there was the unfortunate passing of Robert Adams A.K.A. Photon Torpedo.
Robert was one of the 14 victims in San Bernardino where he was at a party with his co-workers when one of his co-works and that co-worker's wife opened fire killing Rob, 13 other, and injuring at least another 20. We were unaware of his status for 24 hours hoping that he was safe and would be found hiding somewhere in the building, but we were met with our nightmare.
Robert was a member of Starfleet Enterprises [SFEP] and Ultimatium. [F1N4L] since 2010 when I had first met him.
Yesterday a family friend of his opened a GoFundMe page for his wife Summer and 20 month old daughter Savannah (which I am not sharing at this time as I am not asking people to donate). This GoFundMe page was then shared around the members of the Eve Community with some site like EveSkunk redirecting their home page to it. Since the pages creation yesterday, 688 people have donated a total of 27,500 USD to is. Unfortunately I cannot determine how many of you from the Eve community are helping to support my friend's wife and daughter but I know that the value achieved would nowhere near match what it is now without any of you.
Seeing all of the people help my friend's family is actually making me start to cry a bit. Normally I steel my emotions and rarely reveal what I am feeling but being directly impacted at the loss of a friend and seeing so many people who didn't even know him stepping out to help only because of a shared hobby is really...well I can't even come up with the words.
Thank you, everyone who has given your support.
Edit: I would like to remind everyone of the rules in the forum.

It shouldn't be necessary to do so, but it appears that some players feel the need to inflict their viewpoints on race, religion, politics, and other hot topic opinions on other players. These discussions will not be tolerated anywhere on the EVE forums. Players that cannot follow this guideline can lose their posting privileges immediately. This is the sole warning that will be issued regarding this.
Even though there is more information coming through about what happened, please do not use this as a target for any hate. I know Photon/Rob would not want any of it. |

There is a thread open at general discussion, was started earlier than this one and is gathering salutes and condolences.
CCP Seagull: "EVE should be a universe where the infrastructure you build and fight over is as player driven and dynamic as the EVE market is now".
62% of players: "We're not interested. May we have Plan B, please?"
CCP Seagull: "What Plan B?"

Indeed. Linky, for those who happen upon this thread first.
I'm not really a religious type, but we'll keep Summer and Savannah in our thoughts and prayers.

"----in' A, right?"
"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."
"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

I'm very sorry for your loss, hopefully you and his family also saw the outpouring of support on Reddit.

My deepest condolences to you and his wife and family.
It is stuff like this that really reminds one that behind the screen we are all just regular people with seperate lives and families but are connected through this wonderful game.
I wish you the best Regards from a simple 20 year old danish student
