After not bein’ on the site for a few months I come back to read this shit. Dasrik was a fuckin’ hell of a guy, back when I was on this place constantly he was one of very few I really looked up to. We weren’t close, didn’t share too many words, and hell even years ago when I was active and he may have had a vague notion of who I was he’d have probably not thought much of me. But I really respected the shit out of him. It’s the exact same for me as when mummy b passed, I didn’t know them intimately at all and I did know a little about the medical problems they faced, but hearing this news still hurts really bad.
Rick’s posts here taught me a lot, and it’s a shame that there’s no possibility of seeing more of it, or that a lot of like minded people have and are going to miss out on that. I feel like I mean to say more but don’t know how. I don’t think Rick tried to make everyone his freind, but I know here and elsewhere he made an impression, I’d bet isn’t a place he was felt that he won’t be missed.
Dang, this news blew me away. I met Rick back in early 2003, and one thing that got me about him was that he was so humble in person and so intelligent online. The community lost one of its best. Yo, my condolences Joe; to you and your family.
**I haven’t been to GD for years… Then, out of nowhere… my sister goes to GD out of curiousity, and tells me the bad news… My condolences to Joe and his family.
I never met Rick in person, but I did speak to him on AIM before. He has done so much for the MvC2 community throughout the years… he has helped my sister so much with Blackheart and CapCom… Thank you, Rick…!
As sad as this is, at least you won’t have to suffer anymore…
R.I.P, warrior. **
Wow, it’s been many years since I’ve really chatted with Dasrik, but he used to always have me rolling back in the day. Really hard to believe he’s gone now.
R.I.P, man. You’ll be remembered and greatly missed.
been on srk for a few years now, more of a lurker than anything. There are people on srk that post and when they do, despite not knowing or ever meeting them you always took a second to read what they had to say. Dasrik was one of those people.
Sad to hear, I will keep his family in prayer. I remember I face against Dasrik at Evo 2k2 on ST dreamcast away from the arcade machines, I remember using sim vs his Honda and he wooped me badly. As soon as I lost I go back to video record some matches and I had just missed the match between Thomas Osaki and Alex Valle, but saw them shake hands .
Hopefully he is with the Lord Jesus Christ if he was saved.
i didnt know rick at all, his name looked familiar, but thats all. when i read what his brother posted, it put me in a weird state of mind. it takes quite a bit for the shell i have to be smashed through, and that quickly did it when i was reading something relative to me. i know im new to SRK and have zero say in what happens, but everyone please, take care of each other on here even more so than we do now. if not for appeasing the mods, then for dasrik. his family has my condolences, i know what its like to lose a brother…
thank you all on here for welcoming me with open arms. its places like this that make scenes of any sort a COMMUNITY.
Hmm so one of many in the Dialysis unit. I probably passed him by or seen him at work. LLMC is pretty darn good, but ahwell. Atleast he ain’t in pain anymore
