Rest in peace Tom "xero"
Rest in peace Tom "xero"
For those of you who knew Tom "xero" Volpe, it's with a heavy heart I'm informing you he's passed. I met Tom back when I was just beginning to play this game, and I was a part of the lower [sAs] division. We recently started keeping in touch and playing catch up about a year ago, and he informed me of some health issues he had been battling. He loved to play this game, and was easily one of the nicest and most genuine human beings I've ever met. Only the good die young.
rip.

Damn... didn't know him well either, but always a bummer to hear when a member of this community passes. rip
Re: Rest in peace Tom "xero"
I had the chance to play on TMNT with Tom 2 seasons ago and he was an extremely nice person. He told me about some of his health issues at the time and since I hadn't heard from him in a while I feared he may have taken a turn for the worse. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family/friends.

Re: Rest in peace Tom "xero"
RIP tommy boy. he was Ryan and my first dod friend back in the days of good old [sAs]. he was there for the first time me and ryan ever cheated in a pub and was right there along with us when the Pimp Division caught us all and kicked us out. I wish I had talked to you more recently, I didn't even know you were sick but man you were one of the absolute **** coolest dudes we ever had the privilege to play with in this game and are quite literally the oldest friend we had in dod. I'm sure you're fraggin in the afterlife and keepin everybody honest. really a very sad loss for all who crossed paths with Tom, such a good guy all around. never talked any shit about anyone, never called bullshit when people dumped on him, as loyal a person as could even when it meant throwing his own ass under the bus to be right there along with his friends. always wanted to try and get better even if it meant all of us open guys playing 5 hours of scrims vs top invite teams and getting our assholes resized over and over again until we learned.
RIP [sAs] xer0 |DD| / [HW]x0.

Re: Rest in peace Tom "xero"
Never met him, but always sad to lose one of our community members. I'll add him to the list for the memorial fund, and in due time it would be great if one of you guys who knew him well could write up a little paragraph or two about him for it.
Re: Rest in peace Tom "xero"
We were lucky enough to play the last 3 or 4 seasons alongside Tom, in fact pretty much from the day he came back to DoD and was looking to get back into playing competitively and I can honestly say it was an honour. He had our back like no other and was someone that could instantly cheer you up in vent with his impressions and jokes. Not to mention how good of a player he was when he was on fire.
I can't really put into words how upset I am over losing Tom, he was a true inspiration. Showed me how precious life is in just over a year of knowing him.
Rest in peace my friend, I'll miss you.

Re: Rest in peace Tom "xero"
Really nice guy who got a pretty unfair deal with having to fight with those health problems for so long.

Really sorry to hear this, he seemed like a cool guy the few times I played with him. RIP
