Dante Valmont -DJ Sith - Jun 13 12:40am |

Good evening, everyone. Tonight I bring some unfortunate news. I've recently learned that a former student of ours, Dante Valmont, passed away while studying abroad in Greece. Dante joined our ranks in 2003 and was an active duelist, RP'er and storyteller. Our condolences go out to his family, his friends here at the Jedi Academy, and his friends abroad. |

I did not know him, but from the comments below, he seemed like a great member of the academy, and a good person in real life. Peace be upon him.

Dante has been a mentor to me a long time ago and taught me a great deal in this game. Even though it has been some time ago, my heart and thoughts still go out to his family and friends. You will be missed. _______________ ~ Honor is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead ~ |

I did a quick search and found this. I doubt it's nothing DJ and JJ hadn't found, but for those interested, here's his obituary.

DJ and I found out about this recently, and spent some time confirming this information. Unfortunately this happened in April 2008, when he and another student were hit by a car on a sidewalk in Greece. He didn't recover from his injuries, unfortunately.
Dante was massively influential in the way a lot of the most highly regarded instructors in the JA played the game, and was by his own right one of the best duelists in this community. He had a very cerebral approach to the game and helped train numerous people despite never having became an official instructor here. When I first the met guy we didn't get on, but later on we became pals and had some great laughs together. Unfortunately a lot of us lost touch with him, and it was very hard to accept this news. Best wishes to Eric's family and friends. We'll miss the big Greek bastard. |

Ah awful, very strange, I was thinking about Dante the other day. I remember meeting him first on the public servers and finding out about his legacy with the JA. Feels like real life is never far

Quote: I would like to thank all of you so much for your kind words about my brother. During such a sad time, it means a lot to see how much he touched each and every one of your lives in a different way. His only fear was that he never wanted to be forgotten, and this proves that he never will be. I thank you guys for your support, concerns, and prayers. Even though I'd love to have him here in the house right next to me, he's in a better place with God looking down on us all. I miss and love him, and thank you guys so much for everything.- S.
