I hate being the bearer of such news, but I won't leave it up to someone else to post it. This is extremely hard for me to have to write so bear with me.
Leo Clark, the player of Darkskye passed away today from to complications due to an infection. He'd been in the hospital all week and his sister had kept in contact with us on his condition. Unfortunately, he deteriorated quickly and wasn't able to recover.
The family has asked that if anyone wished to do anything in his memory, to make a donation to the American Diabetes Association.
Leo was an avid fisherman in real life and that passion carried over into the game. He was the Speaker of several official orders, including the Apostles and more recently the Order of the Dragon Shield. He'll be missed by those of us that knew him well and appreciated his sense of humor. His posting name was Relayer, the amusing artwork recently done were all his creation.
I was one of the lucky few that got to talk to him by phone several times a month. I'm going to miss him terribly.

Leo was a great man with a wonderful sense of humor. He dearly loved DR and the people who play it. I'm gonna miss his great story telling that he entitled "Story Time With Uncle Darkie".
Please keep his family in your prayers.

He was a good guy, one of the best. Loved doing Order things and always made people feel welcome at them. He will definately be missed and as someone with a relative with diabeties, I will and will most definatly make a donation in his name. Thank you for telling everyone what happened.

Wow--I'm really sorry to hear this. I've known Darkskye for so long IG that he seemed like a permanent fixture of Therengia to me. I will miss him very much.
RIP buddy.
