What!? No! I... I am in shock.
I met him and a few other members from the WorkPLace two summers ago in a random matchmaking game. They took me in and I felt welcome. After playing Halo with them for a while, I noticed DP was on Call of Duty, so I switched discs and sent him a message asking if he had room. He did, and it started something that I remember fondly. I would return from school, do some homework, and then get on to play Call of Duty with a great group of people. I didn't know them all too well, but I felt that they were all friends, and I felt welcomed into this group.
I am still so shocked right now, I wanted to play with him and some of the other WorkPLace guys a few weeks ago but never did. I miss the times we played CoD until the early hours of the morning. I miss the times we laughed and told jokes.
I did not know him as Chris, I knew him as Deathpimp or DP, so I guess I did not know him too well at all, but I liked him. He was a great guy, and a friend. I always felt welcome when I played with him.
This year has not been good for my family and friends. I lost my cousin, my grandfather, my dog, and now a person that I will forever know as my friend.
I wish I could just get on Xbox and reminisce, or just talk with someone but I left my Xbox at college and I'm home for the weekend. I didn't know he was ill, I didn't know he had a heart attack, I didn't know... I didn't know.
-blam!- now I'm just rambling but I can't think strait. Dp was someone I considered a friend that I unfortunately hadn't talked to since I started college (as I didn't have much time at all to play Xbox).
Rest in peace, Deathpimp. I will miss you, and I will always remember the nights we played CoD until the early hours of the morning. It was through talking and playing with you guys that I made it thought High School.
