Default Another one in our community is no longer with us...



Snaptrap was gravely injured in a motorcycle accident in the beginning of this month. Although his injuries were serious, and from what I read he was in ICU for a while, he was well enough to be discharged from hospital recently.

His brother just posted in the mods forum that Richard (Snaptrap) passed away a few days ago. Before that however he managed to complete the mod he was working on, Silent Fire, which will be uploaded by Ron (Richard's brother).

The thread where Richard's unfortunate accident was first highlighted: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=137678

Rest in peace, Richard.

My condolences to your family Ron. It's never easy, losing family members when they are young. I know the feeling all too well myself.

I too lost a brother in a motorcycle accident and know the pain you feel for Richard far outweighs anything we miss about Snaptrap around here. My prayers are with you. You are traveling a very rough road.

Very sad. Just when it seemed he had avoided falling. Not just another subsimmer but also another motorcyclist. I will go out for a spin just for you today friend. Rest in Peace!
