Func_Msgboard: RIP Tronyn

Posted by dumptruck_ds on 2024/10/19 18:19:51

Very sad news to report that has been confirmed by his brother, known online as Whitefish. Also a message from his long time friend ryanscissorhands:

"I am very sad and sorry to announce that Tronyn, the Norse God of Mapping and Rants, has unexpectedly died this week. I have known him personally for 34 years, and his passion and talent were unmatched by anyone I’ve ever met. He has contributed so much to the Quake Mapping community for two and a half decades, and has blown so many minds with his level design, architecture, and project vision. He will be sorely missed.

May we feast and drink together again some day, basking in the glory of Valhalla.

To work with Tronyn these past several years. I hope to do his creations justice in completing what he gave me.

May his family find comfort in knowing that he has made an impact and will continue to.

A Great Loss For The Community

If there's any comfort, it's that his outstanding creations will keep delighting Quake players around the world for generations.

My heartfelt condolences go to his family and loved ones. May they find strength and consolation in these difficult times.

I have no words for this.
Just feelings of sorrow.
If there was a LevelLord he sure was.
I will keep him as a very close friend.

This is incredibly sad news. Tronyn was always a huge part of the Quake mapping scene and I always enjoyed talking with him on here back in the day, when func was where it all happened.

I went back through some of our correspondence and found that my review of his Arcanum was the longest and most gushing review I'd ever written for any Quake content.

Quake isn't going to be the same without him.

A Tragedy...

Please let us know if there is any way that we can help out his family, for he has been a huge part of ours for many years.

R.I.P. Dustin/Tronyn
