Thought they did an awesome job here for their first real cinematic. Also really love the "In the End" remix used here.

Pretty awesome guy with some really cool answers. Spoke about getting the role for Scorpion, why he wasn't in the second movie, how the martial arts in the movies hold up to real life (he's a martial artist himself), and he also spoke about an anti-bullying initiative he's working on.

I appreciate these comments from the people who knew him more than anything else. Thank you for your words and I'm so sorry for your loss.

I understand. I cried like four times writing the article. I almost gave up several times (especially near the start), because the more I read about him, the more I realized I was utterly unqualified to do him justice with my words. The only thing that kept me going was how much I wanted to tell people his story.

The amount of comments I've received since, with people telling me how much of an impact his story had on them, it's been more touching, more humbling and more rewarding than anything I ever could have expected.

Thank you so much for your words and I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.

I hope those that are suffering most from his absence (and the absence of all of the other Christchurch victims) can some day reach a point of healing.

He wasn't just a programmer. He was also a Counter-Strike: Source pro and a legend of the New Zealand CS scene. He was a goalkeeper for the country's national futsal team (indoor-soccer) and won two national titles and a player of the year award. He was a car enthusiast who custom-built a beautiful BMW and won the "Best V8 Engine" award at a show and shine competition. On top of all of that, he was a programmer who founded LazyWorm Apps and developed apps like MetroTube and Tweetro+. According to one of the lead software guys at Microsoft, MetroTube was once the most popular app on the Windows store.

Most importantly, he was a father of a 2-year-old girl.

His loss is tragic and I had to write about it. I shared this elsewhere and I was referred to this amazing place and asked to share it here as well, so I did.

Thank you to anyone who reads his story.
