I can understand what his family must be going through because I've been through it as well.

[Crushed]

Wow, that's horrible. I lost an aunt to cancer. I never even knew her, but it messed my cousins up really bad, since they never had a mother around for most of their childhood.

 

[Angelcurio]

Two deaths in a row, first Bruce Kelly from rumor reported died from a heart attack yesterday, and now this.

R.I.P. both of you.

I had the great privilege of being able to meet him at the GDC a few years ago when he was giving a presentation on his work with Prime 2. He was such a nice guy with a lot of excitement about his work, and it was such a great experience to have been able to have a conversation with him.

2005? My first GDC (and I think the first one in SF?). I went to that talk, and frothed with him afterwards about dragging cameras along splines. He was a lovely chap, and I regret not catching up with him later, as we worked on very similar systems.

I never did get critically damped springs to work though.

RIP mate.

I lost my father to cancer later that year. Cancer fucking sucks.

 

[shintoki]

Worked on so many fantastic games I love... RIP

 

[Jenga]

This guy has worked on some of my most favorite games of all time. Rest in peace.

 

[puck1337]

Horrible. I feel terrible for his young family.

 

[Cynar]

way too young, rip

 

[Dragmire]

That's the thing about creative fields of work. After you pass on, a part of you lives on in your work. RIP

 

[RiZ III]

That's really sad to hear. Losing people from the industry is always really sad.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Sorry to hear that. R.I.P. My heart goes out to his families and friends.

 

[legend166]

That's horrible.

My condolences go to his family. I hope Nintendo looks after them ;(

 

[Prince of Space]

Hell of a resume there. Loved Shadows on the N64 and of course, the Prime games. Terrible loss.

RIP, sir.

 

[papelnabangka]

Pancreatic cancer needs better spokespeople. We hardly hear about any sort of charities or foundation championing it yet it is one of the most deadliest kind.

 

[ant1532]

Rest in peace and thanks for one of the best games ever and other damn good ones to boot!

 

[grandjedi6]

RIP

 

[bumpkin]

R.I.P., good sir. You worked on some really awesome games.

 

[Snaku]

Tragic news. Another wonderful talent, taken before his time. Rest in peace. My thoughts are with his family.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

RIP Mark.

Hopefully god and him are laughing it up in the afterlife between games of Prime.

Yeah, that was the one. It was a great presentation and I told Mark afterwards that he should do more. He left me with the impression of someone who you just would really enjoy working with. So sad.

 

[Nizz]

RIP, man...

 

[louie]

R.I.P

 

[crowphoenix]

Rest in peace, man. Thanks for Paperboy and Prime. You will be missed.

 

[ComputerNerd]

 

[Mr_Furious]

Thanks for the great games, Mark. RIP

 

[inpHilltr8r]

His book was due out last week too.

 

[Tristam]

He worked on some of my favorite games ever and sounds like a great guy to boot. R.I.P.

 

[Skilotonn]

R.I.P....

Reading about some of the games he made, I owned and loved a good bit of them, from Paperboy, right down to the first Metroid Prime...
