Edited by: Coyote Guyver on 06/11/2009 21:58:15For those of you who knew him, his in game personas were Jake Colvit and John Colvit, a pilot in The Drift. alliance. As I understand, he was killed by an I.E.D. in Afghanistan early Thursday morning. Just 3 days before, he was piloting his Thanatos in Derelik, engaging reds and neuts with pride. I didn't know him long, certainly not as long as others have, but I can tell you he was a caring pilot. He would be on day and night, ready to defend a POS under attack, or to help a fellow member with fitting or tactics. He was especially known for throwing his own ISK and assets on the line when friendlies were under fire. A brief quote from the head diplo/director of The Drift., Doxana:  Quote:
My deepest condolences go out the the family and loved ones who have suffered this great loss. It is always a hard situation to lose ones family member so early in his life..
My condolences to his family, especially his brother, who also plays the game as I understand. You will be missed Jake. |

Thank you for the kind words and salutes.. and also thank you for ignoring the trolls.
CCP: Appreciate the move and the swift moderation of flamers.
Whilst everyone is entitled to their own opinion, Jake was a valiant soldier and a great pilot to fly with. It's unfortunate that he, and by the same logic, anyone, loses their life at such a young age.
He will be missed in the real world, and in our world, ever so dearly.

Lt Col Nick Kitson, commanding officer of 3 Rifles Battle Group, added: "Naturally charming and disarmingly polite, he was considerate and compassionate to his core. "Uncompromisingly assiduous at work, he was an inspiration to all and a mentor to those he led in training and on the field of battle." I salute thee, o great defender of peace; may you rest in peace o7 Image changed to URL. Zymurgist |
