CK was a mountain of a man, always willing to teach and always willing to learn. He carried himself as if he was an old man full of wisdom and willing to share that with anyone who would listen. He would often tell me if you don’t have an old man in your pocket, get one. Basically meaning that we all need a mentor to help us along the way. For a while he was that “old man” for me even though he really wasn’t that much older then me. His knowledge and wisdom where invaluable though. His friendship even more so, we would sit and talk to all hours of the night, playing games, sharing meme’s, it was never a surprise to get a link to a nice gun now and then either.
I started to get to know CK about 5 years ago or so through Borgo a mutual friend, I was a vanilla no mods on my client kind of player but he got me to play Overkill with him. From there I was stuck to him like glue for probably a year and a half learning everything I could about every mod I could. Some I liked some I went with and flew and ended up teaching him a thing or two about now and then. It was a passion project we later started working on together with others on as well making the next Overkill.
Where CK didn’t really share anything personal most the time I felt like I knew the man. We talked family now and then as well as life in general. He knew my son and hung out with him now and then as well. He became part of the normal in the house, I wore headphones for a reason obviously… lol… but he was always home with us for a time it seemed like.
I feel like I can go on forever so for the sake of not writing a book more then I already have I will end with this.
Keep that old man in your pocket.
Share your knowledge and wisdom with those willing to learn, especially the young.
Be kind
We miss you and love you CKY, thank you for being an invaluable part of our lives, an amazing friend and brother, and all in all a good man. Till we meet again brother…
