My name is Jerry, or Agent 66, and I am Connor's father. I'm not really sure how to make this post but he wanted me to let you guys know if anything happened. I never thought I'd be writing this but here I am and this is incredibly difficult.
Two months ago Connor went back to Ukraine but this time was different. He wasn't there just to provide medical support but he went to actually fight. Connor joined a group of Foreign Legion who had English, American and Canadians in it where they were actively taking combat missions.
On the 15th of November I was informed that we lost Connor to the war. I don't want to share too much as it's quite personal but his squad was tasked to take a captured Ukrainian trench and bring it back under their control. He lost his life saving one of his fellow fighters dragging them to safety who because of Connor lived.
I don't really have much else to say but he wanted me to let people here know if anything was to happen to him. Discovery must have meant a lot to him.
Before Connor left he and his partner decided to get married. He also has a son on the way as well.
He's left us behind and has gone to a better place. I hope his efforts are not in vein. He will be missed by all of us at home who love him dearly.
Thank you all.
He left a small message for you guys which I would like to share.
Hi all. This is going to sound a bit cliche but if you're reading this I didn't make it home. I've left 3 of these. One for you guys, my wife and my future kid and my parents.
I haven't told anyone apart from my family but I'm going back to fight. It was a very hard decision to do especially with whom in leaving behind. Some might call it selfish but my family understood.
I have joined the Foreign Legion and will be heading back out to Ukraine tonight. I just want to say thank you to everyone for my time here.
Scourge, Thomas, Loki, Light, Dimi, Alley, Godslayer, Geoff, Saronsen, St Denis, Cori, Jammi, Prophet, Jazzi and many more. I'm writing this in a rush. You guys have all been amazing friends to me here in my time playing Discovery. Thank you guys for everything.
And yes, Godslayer you can have the Nergal. It's all yours.
I've given away all of my accounts, like steam etc, to family members.
Good bye all.
Jerry,
Connor was one of the most genuinely heartwarming and friendly people I had the pleasure of meeting in this community. He was a helpful, kind, understanding presence that benefited everyone around him. I haven't been present here in years at this point, nor had I spoken to Connor in a while, but even still, this news is genuinely heart-wrenching even after all this time. He was a good guy with a big heart, and he made everyone aware of it wherever he went, including this place, and I'm glad we had the chance to meet, however brief his and my interaction was.
Thank you, for going out of your way to let us know here. Here, Connor was a good friend, elsewhere he was nothing short of a damned hero. The world is a brighter place for him having been in it.
