We honor and remember the EdgeGamers members who are no longer with us. Their presence, impact, and camaraderie left a lasting impression on our community, and their contributions will never be forgotten. Though they may no longer be here, their legacy remains in the friendships they forged, the moments they created, and the spirit of gaming they helped build.
On Thursday, October 20, 2016, EdgeGamers lost a dedicated and passionate leader. Layton "ProCombat" Means was involved in a motorcycle accident that tragically claimed his life that afternoon. ProCombat, a Division Leader of Garry's Mod and a Tech Team member, poured his heart into his work at EdgeGamers. His dedication and efforts were instrumental in shaping the Garry’s Mod division into what it was.
Our community was incredibly fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and committed leader who helped run our servers and core systems. No one could question the passion Layton had for EdgeGamers. Shortly after earning PSC Member of the Year, ProCombat was interviewed by SigmaTaurus. In that interview, he shared his philosophy: “You put all your time and effort into what you love to do. I was focused on making eGO better.”
On June 11, 2019, Rogue Sniper, also known as "Yokai", was taken from us due to a fatal accident.
A veteran member of EdgeGamers since early 2007, Rogue Sniper contributed greatly to the success of our Counter-Strike: Source and Global Offensive servers. Serving as an Advisor for nearly five years, he dedicated much of his time and effort to our Jail servers, playing a key role in the recreation of the community-favorite Highschool map. Even after stepping down from Leadership, Rogue remained committed to creating exceptional content for the community, demonstrating an unmatched attention to detail and determination in every project he pursued.
Although we are an online community, the friendships we build are real. Many of us form lifelong bonds through gaming, connecting with friends across the country or even the world. This was certainly the case with Rogue Sniper.
Rogue Sniper will be deeply missed. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. Out of respect for his privacy and secrecy, identifying details have been intentionally omitted.
