[Mamalyth]

Hey everyone., My name is Sam. I am Brendt's wife. I regret to inform you all on Saturday morning the love of my life passed away. This community has been apart of his life for a very very long time. In fact You all were informed of our wedding before our families. The same with my pregnancy. I just thought I should let you all know. There is a gofundme and a give send go. I will post that if you all want.  The Gofundme is here. https://gofund.me/87e13154

Unbelievable, I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Megalyth personally, but I always seen him around. It is so sad to see such a longstanding member go. I can't imagine what you are going through. Please feel free to post the GoFundMe, I am sure the moderators would not object.

 

Rest in peace, @Megalyth

[Walter confetti]

WHAT? OMG, condolences. He was integrant part of this community and a good person from what he wrote there! Condolences, again.

[Alfonzo]

I'm so sorry, Sam. My sincere condolences.

 

I can't claim to have known Megalyth all that well, but we exchanged quite a few stories and messages back in the day and would sometimes hit each other up for chats over Skype. This is about ten years ago, now. I still remember the first time we called each other to discuss something other than the game Doom... we spent an hour or two talking about some of the pie-in-the-sky activities we were hoping to do or thinking of doing in the future. I remember it well because it was when I was first finding my feet in the community and we were both getting caught up in the excitement of contributing to something "big", as things go here on Doomworld. Megalyth made me feel welcome, and, among all the names and aliases that I would come to know over the years, he remained one of the few that I actually spoke with... just for the sake of having a chat.

 

Megalyth was an integral part of one of the most celebrated creations of this community in 2011/2012, Doom The Way id Did, and I would sometimes look to his works during development as we shared many similar goals... and also because he was doing a damn sight better job of meeting some of them than I was! There's a great deal to admire about his creative works. We also often played duels together and tested each other's stuff. He contributed one of the most regularly played duel maps during the development of a multiplayer level pack called CGI in 2015. This map — Pot City — is also his first credited work uploaded to the archives from way back in 2002.

 

It's very silly, but we had a running gag for many years that we would some day together create a Scatman John sound replacement mod for the game. Something to the effect of hearing random "bee-bop!" and "skee-bap!" sounds every time you interacted with anything in the game world. I think we both knew it was more funny in theory than it would be in practice, so we were happy to leave it at that. And so we will.

 

Rest in peace, buddy.

Very sad to hear this, rest in peace :( I really hope after this and last month's Shamus Young passing we won't have any more departures...

Awful news. Thank you for letting us know. It is always better to have an answer when someone disappears, even if it's as bad as this.

 

My sympathies to you and your family, for what little that might be worth.

I didn't interact much with Megalyth, besides commenting under couple of his bread memes in status updates some years ago after I joined, but from what I saw, he was genuine guy, you could see how much he loves family and sharing those little happy details from life. He was also one of the oldest member of this place that still actively interacted with community here... Rest in peace, Megalyth.

[Dreemurr Deceevurr]

I am truly sorry for his loss to you, Sam, your son and everyone here who was a close friend, colleague or just a humble fan of Megalyth. Remember him well and know that he lives on in the work he left behind that we will continue to preserve in his memory. I am heartbroken to hear that we've lost a member of this community today.

 

Rest in peace, Megalyth. 🕯️

Would you, please? I'm sure your family has a lot of expenses right now and I'd love to help out. So sorry to hear about your loss... From the person I knew here, I'm sure he was a wonderful partner and father.
