He was always up for a game,a funny chap and just somebody you liked to spend your time with.

Thank you for letting us know, life is very fragile and it takes things like this for us to remember we need to cherish every moment.
Our thoughts are with his wife and family, loosing a loved one is hard at the best of times but when its Christmas its a bitter blow when thoughts should be towards happier times.

My thoughts are with Rose and the rest of Vipers family and friends and the squad family. It makes me sad to hear someone loose a loved one, a good friend. It´s always hard to go through.
I am root. If you see me laughing, you‘d better have a backup!

I am very sorry to hear of such a loss. My heart and prayer go out to the family! Loosing someone we love always leaves a great hurt in our lives that is never fully healed.

omg I knew and gamed with him never knew he was Dick but that does not matter I am proud that I got to know him and game with him. viper was a and will always be a class act and it brings a tear to me to find this out. Bless you Viper rest well my friend, my deepest condolences to Viper's family
I did not know him, but I know the feeling to lose a loved one. only a few words ... when a friend leaves us, we invaded a sense of guilt at not being able to say many things. But we always stay in memory all the good times spent with that person. keep these moments live forever and we'll remember us in your day to day. The important thing is not forgetting, the important thing is to always keep our side. My condolences to his wife. And to his squad.
