I am not sure who of those still frequenting these forums might have known Kludiien the Druid (Garrett) in EQ, but he had been around since the early days. I knew him through our shared adventures in Lost Fires, and can attest to his being a selfless, classy guy.

We just received the info of his passing in February. Much, much too young to have left this life.

Rest in peace, Garett.

I knew Garrett...that sucks...he was a good guy :(

dang he is my RL buddy's cousin, he had lots of medical problems for years, sad to hear this news.

Always sad, my condolences to any friends or loved ones.

Very Sad, much too young.

I think I am still banned. Any chance you could copy and paste the post here? Can you give them my condolences please.
