TMW Vitus.

[Snazzelicious]

Vitus was a well respected member of our community. I'm sure anyone who has been around for a while has seen him on warband servers.

Due to hardships in his life, he decided to take it last Tuesday (July 25). Sakata and I found out after we got ahold of his family.

I just wanted to raise awareness about this, and how suicide affects us all. If you or anyone you know is ever struggling with suicidal thoughts, PLEASE visit https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ (States),  http://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/Europe/ (Europe), https://suicideprevention.ca/need-help/ (Canada).

Leave a message for his family

If you want more information, message me or Sakata.

I am deeply saddened to hear this news.  I'm proud to have known him if even for a short time.  My prayers are with his family.

Rest easy friend.

My interaction with Vitus was mostly limited to scrims or practices or the occasional game of smite. He was never one to volunteer too much about his personal life. So while I won't pretend to have been super tight with him,  I'll say what I can about the guy I knew.

Vitus was kind. I've known and know truly unpleasant people. Vitus wasn't one. He got along well with everyone in the clan from day 1.
Vitus was also quick to volunteer his time if someone needed help. New player wanted help with blocking? Vitus would help. I needed someone to take on the stressful and often unrewarding task of captaining our second team? Vitus would be there, and not just as a do-nothing figurehead, but actually trying to organize practices and help the new kids get good.
Vitus was quick to laugh and slow to rage. Amiable. 

Ugh. It's not nearly enough. To sit here and type on some video game forum about the ending of a human life seems strange.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. If nothing else, know that Vitus was someone who made the lives of those around him better, and brighter.

Super sad to hear news like this.

Rest in Peace Vitus.

 

[Efe Karacar]

Wow...

Rest in peace Vitus. This makes the 5th person I know of this community who...has gone to a better place over the years. This is so sad.

 

[Aeronwen]

My thoughts and prayers are with Vitus’ family.
My sympathy to his friends. If you, at times, find yourself struggling with troubling emotions, remember to reach out for help when you feel like you need it.

 

[KaneMaB]

What a horrible thing to hear.
Rest in peace man.

I can't say I knew Vitus personally at all, but I do recognize the name. It's easy to forget that there are faces behind names sometimes. It's easy to say canned ****, like "You have my sympathies," or to "Reach out if you need it." It's easy to forget sometimes that we're all pretty similar at the end of the day. Sometimes you hear about someone you don't know passing away, and it somehow is, admittedly, shockingly easy to process.

But I read this and I felt ****ing terrible. Kind of hit me in the stomach, even though I never had any personal or direct interactions with him.

That being so, he still shared in something that we all kind of take for granted. He's probably jumped on TS with his homies and bull****ted, he's scrimmed, he fought the waves of trashcans on POM, posted here at times, he stayed up way too late gaming sometimes but didn't regret it the next day. All of his friends just assumed he'd be there to keep doing that ****. We forget that sometimes, getting off Discord at night and telling your friends you'll "see them tomorrow," you may not; they may not.

Clearly this transcends games, or Warband, or any of us. But the idea stands that he was one of us. He was a part of this community, and at the end of the day, I'm thankful for that. For his contributions, presence, and everything he did while he was here. I'm not going to pretend to speak on his life outside of here, but I will say that I'm sorry things had to turn out this way at this point for him. I'm genuinely sad that we lost him.

Don't let your friends feel like life's zerging them, or that there's no way out. What I enjoy about this community in general is how tight groups become, and from that, people learn what the word team means. Past that, if you have friends that seem a bit apathetic and you feel like your back's to a wall, message me on Steam @ Priest03. Talk about your girlfriend, or your parents, or your direction, or life, whatever. Not going to let any of my homies feel outnumbered by life like that.

Rest easy, Vitus. Thoughts with your family, your friends, TMW, and most importantly, you. We'll all be along before you know it.
