This is somewhat poetic. Xeno means stranger in... err... either Greek or Latin. Also coined in Bio-Script Monthly, also is a term for replacing bad organs due to radical cell deformations, like cancer.

We barely knew not ye' honored stranger from a land of friends and family. The rot of God's work reaps the seam of pure blood, thus white wings are gifted as ascension is now and forever for thee... once fond stranger, new found comrade. Rest well in the kingdom of Abraham and Elijah.

Well... its always a gut full of thought when I hear the casket drop of someone I knew in mind. :good:

This has just destroyed my day. :good: And the sad thing is, today I was thinking of contacting him to see how he was doing.

How did you find this out?


I was meaning to contact him but Ive never managed to catch him online and now its too late :(
He was so good to me, So good to all of us.
He helped me when I first started learning to create Cameos.
He made a load for me.
He was always around to talk
and and .....

I even removed my Xeno Support Avatar that ive had for around 2 Years over at freedom because I thought he was doing fine :(
:rolleyes: :shiftee2: :crazed: ;) :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

Also 2playgames has a wonderful idea.

I didn't know you that well, but I'm sure you were a great guy. May you rest in peace.
It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

Careful. This link is DANGEROUS. Do NOT click it. This one, however, is fine.

Not really knowing Xeno, I'm just going to say Rest in Peace. However, would it be an idea to compile the (decent) comments from this page into a nice document to give to his family? Maybe they won't care, but maybe they will and be touched.


Please, let's.

Good Lord. :grin: Xeno, good sir, if there were a kinder soul on the interwebs, they haven't shown their face in the many virtual neighborhoods I frequent. If there is a better, higher plane of existence, then you better have a first class ticket. Good luck to you, good sir, king of cameos.

He should get some sort of a halo on his avatar or something, to show that he's gone to a better place. And ditto on the letter idea.

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation

God, for it to be so sudden. This was definately unexpected, and to say the least of whats on my mind: god f'king damnit! I knew him for a bit, we got along and talked on MSN just a few times, but in those few times to see someone who had a brilliant mind, was compassionate, and altogether just a great person...another Shining Star that has been snuffed out by the darkness. May his soul rest in peace knowing that so many cared for him. Godspeed my friend.


Edit: I also agree with 2play's suggestion.

as the title says, I'm raising a toast to Xeno, or Shineon, or even Richard as some of you might know him

he was for a long time, a very good freind of mine, he pulled me back from the brink atleast once when I was depressed, just by being a good listener. I know he was also a model member of this community for a long time, working on several projects, doing cameos, and other related activities in the tiberium sun and RA2 modding communities. He has had a posotive affect on alot of us, and I'd dearly like to raise a toast to him for that.

Early this morning, last night, or even yesterday depending on where in the world you are, Xeno lost his battle with canser.

Rest in Peace mate

I'm saddened, even though I wasn't given the privelege to meet or talk to Xeno in his days amoung the living, I feel like a friend of mine has passed from this world.

Rest In Eternal Peace, Xeno.

I can't say I really knew him, I think we had been in short contact once.
But I've been following this story and respected him for the battle he brought up.

Rest in Peace, Xeno, or rather: Shine On!

I just found out about this today, i dont know what to say, or if there is anything worth saying. Not only was Xeno a creative and talented person, but he was integral to the modding community. I will miss his posts, ideas, and thoughts. Although i dont post here much anymore i will miss swinging by every week to hear his words. God Bless.
My heart goes out to Xeno.
