MasterOFDeath

[Csonicgo]

MasterOFDeath (MoD), AKA Patchy, longtime member of the Doom Community and one of the OGs of ZDoom weapons mods, passed away on the 28th of September in a fatal motorcycle accident. He was only 31 years old. He leaves behind his adorable cat Petey, who misses him very much.

MoD was an essential element to the birth of the ZDoom weapons modding community. If MoD's silly weapon mods weren't released, big hits like Russian Overkill wouldn't have been made in the first place. He always joked with me that he was responsible for Brutal Doom, and in a way, he was right. But I will always remember him for his nonstop creativity and genius. He is the primary reason I joined the Doom Community, and he was one of my best friends.

I, along with others, will be updating the Doom Wiki with a list of his many, many contributions to the community.

This post will be edited when/if I get info on anything else. There was no funeral due to Covid-19, but there is a plan for a memorial sometime in the Spring.

Rest in Peace, Alex. I miss you already.

Well that sucks. My condolences to his family and friends, it's always terrible when someone dies that young. Hits even harder when they're a member of the community; and one that made quite a few contributions.

That's terrible news - he was there when I first signed up on the ZDF 15 or so years ago, and to hear he's died so young is a great shame. My condolences to his friends and family.

This is sad news. It caused me to dig up my old archives of IRC quotes I used to host on some self-hosted open source BASH alternative.

 

<MasterOFDeath> teh chickens are escaping.
<Xaser> DO NUT MISSPELL THREE LETTER WORDS. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A MORON.
<MasterOFDeath> HEH
<Xaser> ack
<Xaser> that really backfired.

This kind of banter brings me back to like 2005 lol. I'm also 31 but at the time I'm not even sure if I realized how everyone on those #zdoom offshoots were all similarly aged.

[Csonicgo]

Thank you everyone.

 

Thank you.

[Murdoch]

Tragic. My sympathies.

[DooM Bear]

Shit that really sucks... so young :’-(

 

My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

[Generic Doomer]

[THEBaratusII]
