In Remembrance...

Today I write to you with sad news and a heavy heart.

I am writing this article for a dear friend of mine who passed away recently.

Marius "Scott" Coroleone

When Scott had told me that his injuries and illness were worsening I made him promise me to send me a message every day to let me know he was alright. When I didn't hear from him after 2 days I knew something was wrong and after 4 days of messaging him I received mail from his friend saying that he had passed away and to inform his friends here. I have been struggling with the words to say and how to tell you all of this deep loss.

He was an extremely important asset for eCanada, and to the CAF. Even when he was in unbelievable pain and suffering he took the time to come on erepublik and help out with what ever tasks we had to accomplish. His thoughtful dedication to both his erepublik friends and tasks is such a rare find, but with these traits everyone valued him very much. He was kind to his fellow soldiers, and always good for a laugh. He made #ecancaf always be a fun atmosphere. He was a great leader, and a kind soul. He was compassionate, and there for people in need regardless if it was erepublik specific.

If there was something to learn from Scott's passing away its to never take for granted what you have. Erepublik is a community and behind the gamer tag is a real person. If someone on erepublik has made you smile, made a difference in your life, or been there for you when you needed it tell them. Never be afraid to let others know how much you truly appreciate everything that they do for you. The people make this game fun, and losing a member such as Scott will be felt by the community.

I am ending this article with a song and a short excerpt from a poem by Scott.

When I met Scott I told him this song reminded me of him...

Flowers cannot show their beauty
While buried in the snow
We step on all their beds
But how could we ever know
So be careful where you tread
And cherish every seed
For each one holds the beauty that we all crave and need


I will miss you Scott.
