From Evil Darkwatch's wife ... "Dave is gravely ill from Covid-19. He was put in the Hospital on Tuesday 8/24/2021, and is in the PCU there. He is not ventilated (yet) but reliant on an oxygen mask and bypap. He is sedated so it really is a day to day struggle. He was able to start meds on Thursday though. It has been a rough week. I am home today, Saturday 8/28/2021 for the first day since Tuesday. I cannot see him, but I can loiter the hospital parking lot and town ."

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report the following from Evil Darkwatch's wife, that Evil Darkwatch has passed away after about a 2+ week battle with Covid-19. He passed away on Tuesday morning, 8/31/2021. His wife told me that she was lucky enough to be at his side with him when he passed on. I actually received this email from Evil Darkwatch's wife last night, Tuesday night, but it was late here in Minnesota, and also I was in shock, so I was in no shape to post about it. I had a restless night past night. I am sorry to reply so late about this but Wow, this really floored me. I am so sorry to hear this. He will be missed a lot! His servers are intact and will continue in his honor and as a memorial to him. Evil Darkwatch would want this. His wife said he loved this community and his servers, this site (HUTP), and all of us too, and that he was both proud and honored to be a part of it. Well, I am both proud of him and honored to have known him. We here in this community were truely blessed with his presence here with us. I hope his wife is doing ok, but I can only imagine what she is going through. Later, and take care my friends... May the Great Spirit keep you my good friend David, aka Evil Darkwatch, and Rest in Peace! ... Pete "Hook"

I have not talked with him much, but he was both a great a player and a great person.
R.I.P.

This is a copy/paste from Discord, the last thing I wrote to his and I's Private Messages. A tribute to a great man: [7:45 PM] RoninMastaFX: RIP Dave...God Bless ya, I'll meet ya in Heaven when I pass on from this earth.. [7:45 PM] RoninMastaFX: Thanks for the awesome games on CDM, CMH, your UT2004 server...seriously, thank you [7:46 PM] RoninMastaFX: May your soul rest in peace brother. [7:46 PM] RoninMastaFX: In Jesus Name, Amen! [7:46 PM] RoninMastaFX: :pray: [7:49 PM] RoninMastaFX: One last thing [7:50 PM] RoninMastaFX: thanks for playing CDM with me one last time before you went to the hospital [7:50 PM] RoninMastaFX: I'm glad you got to play it once and have no hitching and lower latency after the DD-WRT and Linux kernel upgrade [7:51 PM] RoninMastaFX: Thank you David... [7:51 PM] RoninMastaFX: See you on the other side...when I go there my self! My map for the ut99.org mapping contest will be dedicated to him, in fact I'll add an easter egg of his memory in a secret spot in the level. God Bless you David Byrd, may you RIP Brother <3333333

This is horrible news. Rest in peace Dave. Thank you for your friendship and all you've done for the UT community. You will be sorely missed.
