The passing of (TKC)EARTH7MAN
Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2014 9:06 amIt's with sadness that I announce the passing of (TKC)EARTH7MAN aka. John Deckaushar.
This is the first time we've had to announce the death of a TKC member and it's not a pleasant task. John joined TKC June 29th 2010 and passed away on October 8th 2013. For the guys who were here, they will remember that John had told us that he had tumors in his neck and hands. Although we can't confirm the reason for death, I assume that cancer got the better of him.
While John was active in the clan, from June 29th 2010 until Nov 2nd 2012, he attempted to seed TKC servers 529 times, had 1,267 forum posts and donated $470. He was absolutely one of the most dedicated clan members I've known in both of the clans I've been a part of. I remember we used to have to tell John, "Dude, you don't have to sit on our servers by yourself trying to get them going.", but he just kept giving it his best, doing what very few are willing to do, give up play time to help his clan.
While in TKC John earned the Spirit of TKC medal, the Seeder Service medal and the Outstanding Conduct ribbon.
It's my belief that had there not been a lull in clan activity, mostly due to my offline life getting in the way, John would of earned the clans highest honor, The Medal of Honor. I think it fitting that we award that honor to John now as I can think of no one more deserving.
Rest in peace (TKC)EARTH7MAN.
