Kelvin Yu (Francis Yu)
11/18/1961 - 4/14/2012

For those of you who knew Kelvin, you knew that he was an avid Donner player and one
mean rocketeer, a man who could rally his team to a victory without breaking a sweat.
Sadly Kelvin passed away earlier this month losing his fight with cancer, passing away peacefully.
His son, Francis Jr., was kind enough to let us know this, knowing that Francis was a DoD
member to the core and allowing us to take a moment to offer condolences.

In Honor of Kelvin there will be no Wild Card event this week, instead we will be playing on Donner (events server) in a
Rocket only event. Please feel free to offer any words to the Yu family here, I am sure it is all very appreciated.

His Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of him as gone away
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.

Damn.. This is horrible. RIP Kelvin. You will always be the Donner Rocketman.
 
One of the gang on Donner I knew long before I joined myself. Level headed yet always having fun. Kept Donner full and enjoyable for all. I am truely sorry you lost your father. From the little I knew of him, he was a solid man. Cancer has no rhyme or reason to its selection Francis. Comfort your family, we will be here for you. And thank you for sharing him with us. I know the others that knew him online would agree, we are better off for knowing him.
 
So sad to hear this news. It was always a pleasure to play with him. My prayers and condolences go out to his family!
 
Francis was one of the guys who defined+characterized eGO's Donner, and was one of my main reasons for signing up, and then later on was an admin mentor of sorts for me.

Till today, he has no equal with the Axis rocket+broomhandle combo, being able to change the tide of a battle by clearing field all by himself and then capping out, seemingly out of nowhere.

Even when he was diagnosed with cancer he bravely remained the same 'ol Francis, at least when on Donner and Steam.

You will be missed, Kelvin.
 
I wish his son and the Yu Family the best.


He seemed like a great man. Rest in peace.


Life on earth is only the beginning. I wish him everlasting peace and tranquility, and happiness in the beyond. :)
