XBOX Live Funeral

I want to share a story and then explain what we are trying to do.

I have been a online gamer for a few years now. I have met a lot of great people online through the years mainly through Call of Duty games. On New Years eve I lost what I would consider to be my best friend online. We met on Call of Duty Black ops and
over the last year and a half or so we have exchanged phone number and really gotten to know each other. He passed away in his sleep shortly after midnight on New years day. After many phone calls talking to other friends that lived closer to him and new
him personally it has been a rough couple of days. I got to speak with his mother for a few minutes she explained to me that she didn't think he had a whole lot of friends he lived on his own but didn't seem to hang out with a lot of people. Between me and
his friends we shared with her our online story. My online friends and I span all over the United States and even overseas. This has been hard on us all we told his mom we would like to do a online funeral because we would not all be able to make it to Oklahoma
where he lived. So the reason for this discussion is to see if anybody had any ideas on how we could pull this off. We were thinking of using our Kinect but that only works between two people so we were going to do a private party chat with the Kinect being
at the site of the funeral. This is not a joke and we are not doing this for recognition. My email is
[Mod Removed] it was made from our Clan name GOHB from Call of duty. if anything I thought we should share his story with the community so the people that don't understand gamers may realize true friendships exist in online gaming even if
you never no more than the title online.

Thank you

:)

BiliousCougar1 hey there



I usually post a note in the foot of a post to explain why I removed content, but in light of this saddening story I thought it would be respectful to post instead. I have removed the email address you posted due to it being against the forum rules to post
personal information. I am very sorry for your loss and I hope you find an outcome you are satisfied with.



All the best,

Cloud
