Holy shit, do you mind if we ask how or why? Irvine was always really nice and seemed fairly happy every time i spoke to him. It's awful that he's gone.

There's never a good "why", but he took his own life. That fact only makes it harder to take, so out of respect for the feelings of people that were close to him I ask that people not dwell on that. Like his family posted on his facebook, "We ask that you remember Matthew Lail for the way he lived, not for the way he passed.".

That's fair enough, it's a big loss either way. I feel more sad for his family at this time. Can't imagine what they're going through right now.

Or I could be wrong, I don't know. Post what you want, we'll see how it goes.
His uncle posted this to his facebook, it's the sweetest thing I've ever read.
 

It never ceases to amaze me how life can throw you a curve ball. If you read my post yesterday I talked about sharing love around us. Sometimes it just isn't enough..... I get a call yesterday that my 23 year old nephew took his own life and am just dumbfounded. How can your life be so bad at 23 or 43 any age to want to end it. As we prepare to go South to bury him I have so many questions. He was a good kid and had his shit together and then this. We never really know the darkness that lurks inside one souls. As humans we are given this short time here on earth some longer then others but in this time here it is not just about us. We all walk our own path but others still walk along side us and it is our obligation to make sure those others get home safe. Now I don't know if your idea of home is Heaven or just in the ground. Your decision but no matter we are here for others. Imagine how much life would suck without other people around us. Point I am trying to make is if you have people around you that you love ,like, or even give a little shit about them, let them know you care. let them know they are important and don't let them walk alone. It is a screwed up world out there and we all need each other. Lastly. If you are hurting let somebody know. I have dealt with suicide too much in my life and it is just selfish. So many folks are left behind to pick up the pieces. No matter the struggle it is never worth that solution. You are not alone. Pick up the phone and call someone. Ask for help. Call me! I may not have the answers but will listen and I care. I have been through a lot in life as many know. Incarceration, addictions.... List goes on But I am still here alive and kicking ass another day counting all my blessings as should you. Our lives have meaning and they matter. Please keep us in your thoughts as we go bury one of our own. Love you all.

It's defiantly hard to see a fellow Brohoofian (Yes I really did go there.) pass away, even if he took his own life away.

 

Rest in peace, Irvine.

 

EDIT: I think I don't remember Irvine as much but ik he has been around the server and talked a bit.

I don't think I've ever seen so many people on the "users reading this topic" thing...

 

I'll try not to screw this up and say that I'm pretty sure I remember Irvine, and he was quite a nice guy...  I hope his family stays strong after this along with all of brohoof, and as ratty said, remember who he was before.  And always be respectful of any builds he made.  I do remember hearing people talk about Irvine, and I've always had the impression that he was nice and a good admin.

 

I don't know what was going on with him but if you know someone with Depression/Anxiety, make sure you do what you can to help them too, it's a hellish disease that brings about things like this when it's at its worst.

Yes, I really agree with what Polaris said. I didn't know him very well, but with the few conversations I've had with him I can tell he really was kind and he seemed so happy. I also have respect for his family, who seem to be dealing with this so well. I feel so bad for them, I truly hope they're alright.

 

Rest in peace, Irvine.

What is there to say?

I knew Irvine as a member of this community and not just that, but he was a friend.  Lately I myself have been experiencing a lot with death, from both family members and dear friends of my own.

 

Me and Irvine have never met in person, but I still call him my friend. Nearly every time we spoke, he was always in a cheery mood, and knew on how to have a good laugh. He was kind, open minded and always listened.. On top of that he had a few long fuse, and that made him a great admin.

 

There is one thing I know from what I have learn't these last few years, when someone dies it doesn't matter if it's by; natural cause, age, illness or even suicide.

I have always tried to think positive when someone dies, and basically try and think in their shoes.

They wouldn't want people getting emotional about their death, they would want you to live your lives, and live them good and happy ones.

I will say the same thing I said at my godmother's funeral.

 

"Death, is a hard thing to get by, its emotional and hard for you to think that someone is gone.
But the reality is they maybe gone physically, but it doesn't mean they have left your lives, for as long as you speak about them, tell stories about them, pass memories from person to person, he or she will always live in your heart. And will always be a part of your lives."

 

I apologize if I am a bit blunt, in my words. All I want to say is.
Rest in peace man, I hope you are in a better place and a happy one.

 

I sent my condolences to both his family and friends.

Hey you know we have group titles like Administrator, Admin, Builder etc. Do you think we could perhaps make another title for Irvine's account or something? Like Ratty's is Ratty. It sounds kinda silly but it might be nice as a memorial or something. When a British soldier dies in combat (I know Irvine wasn't a soldier or in combat but hear me out) the soldier is awarded the Elizabeth Cross for giving their lives in the line of duty and the family is given a scroll. We could put something together and give it to the family to show how many people Irvine affected here and how much we all cared about him.

That is sad news indeed. Irvine was a great person and a much loved admin here on Brohoof. He will be missed, that much is clear. He was someone who could make me and many others smile whenever we conversed or crossed paths. I won't pretend to know him like others did, but he certainly made a significant difference to my experience on Brohoof, so here's to Irvine.

 

He goes now to his final resting place at the end of this mortal coil. May he rest peacefully.

I've been hurting all day, as I'm sure many of you have as well. I might not have been as close to him as others, but I still considered him a friend. He was always kind and willing to talk. We would just talk about life and Minecraft and whatever else came up. The server's going to feel lonelier without him, and to say I will miss him is an understatement.

 

I hope his family sees this thread so that they know just how many people knew and cared for him.

I've known Irvine since around the beginning once the server started.  I had always considered Irvine one of my best friends on this server, and always will. It is a great shame that we have lost a great member of the community, and an awesome friend that I will never, ever forget. 

I will miss you.

 

Rest in peace.

Frankly, despite being very, very sad about this grim news, I am also very surprised. Irvine was a very happy guy. He laughed at our jokes, and was productive as well. Although the only times I really talked to him was late night TeamSpeak, where people were not on, I learned a lot about him. It wasn't until I saw his current project: The biggest Vault in Fallout history, recreated on Brohoof. Of course, and most unfortunately, it remains unfinished.

Irvine helped me with my own problems too. He designed my vault in colonizations with me. He had sections if plains with different vault designs. He was planned and ready to work.

Rest in peace, Irvine. We will miss you.

I couldn't believe the news when Rahludan told me. Irvine? No, really? That dude that never stopped laughing and having a good time?

 

To say "It's a shame." would be an understatement. It's always a horrible thing to lose someone; to lose a friend. I can remember when I first met Irvine on Brohoof. We were flying around and having a good time with Melkyore. I joined the server not even three hours after he did. Literally friends from the get-go. Lots of jokes and laughing. Every time I heard him on the mumble chat room, he was laughing.

 

Always a good time when Matt was there. 

 

And just like that, no more. No more fun times. No more laughing. No more getting together to play games online. So many times well never get back together for one more match. Never again will we waste hours on end playing on Brohoof or shooting zombies on Killing Floor... 

 

After I left the server for professional reasons, I never really came back. But I did my best to stay in touch with the friends I had before I left, Matthew included. While we weren't really able to get together to play that often after that, we kept in touch. I always saw him as a friend. Never saw something like this coming, though. Goodbye, Irvine. You'll be missed, there is no doubt in the world about that.

 

My condolences to both his family and his friends.

 

Rest in peace, Matthew Lail. You deserve it.

I'm honestly not sure what to say. Though we only ever talked over Teamspeak, I knew Irvine well as a friend and he was certainly one of the most mature and down-to-earth people on the server. He was never too busy to talk to people about anything, despite being an experienced admin with a lot on his plate. I'll never forget him or what he did for us as a community, but I don't think I can actually put into words how saddened I am at his passing.

 

We can take something away from this though, something I feel should be made known on a regular basis. Even if you ever feel like you're at the point where you can't go on, hope is never lost. Do not hesitate to talk to someone, and I think I speak for all of us when I say that any member of this community would be more than happy to help, even if it's just as a place to open up about your problems. Never give in, and never feel like you're not worth it. You are.

I've refrained from posting something until now due to the fact that I was simply at a loss for words. It's amazing what a profound impact someone you have never (in my case) met face to face can have. If you told me three years ago that I would one day find myself grieving for the loss of someone who I've only ever interacted with through text posts and faceless voice chats I would've laughed and dismissed the notion immediately. Flash forward to the 17th of April when the news of his passing was first disclosed, I found myself a jumbled mess of sadness and confusion as I attempted to take in the stark reality that we have lost one of our own; dismissing that was impossible. To an outsider looking in his passing means about the same thing as an inactive member who one day decided he would leave, but to us the reality couldn't be more different: inactive members can always make a return, but he will never be seen online again. Our memories of him are all that we have left and I am deeply thankful that we've had the opportunity to be a part of his life, and him apart of ours. We are forever emptier without his presence.

 

Continue to remember and cherish your time with those you love for you will never know until it is already too late.

I remember helping Irvine with his Train project. That was one of my few conversations with him. It wasnt long but he seemed like a great guy and a good builder. I enjoyed helping him and I even help build a few rails and stations.

 

I regret not getting to know him better since then. Even so, i will miss him dearly. My regards go out to his family and loved ones

If there's one thing I remember about Irvine, it was that no matter what he did, he was always so happy about it. I didn't hear about the news until just now and it make me feel a little guilty. I never really got to know Irvine that well, but even so, his passing has impacted me so much. 

I have friends that struggle with suicidal thoughts, depression, and anxiety. This news really hits close to home for me and makes me wish that I could've done something to help. Matthew was such a nice guy and was really appreciative of everybody. He was never one to seem upset, and he always sounded so happy. I know we weren't close but the thought of his passing is bringing me to tears. Everybody on this site to me is like family, so even though I may not be related to him, he's still family to me.

I know his parents want his life to remembered from the way he lived it, so that's how I will remember him. A happy, selfless man who always put others before him.

Fellow family members, we mourn for the passing of Matthew Lail together.

For the longest time, I had seen Irvine around on the server. I had always known him to be a kind hearted person. I was only able to talk to him maybe once or twice in mumble a good while back, but for the short time I actually spoke to him, he was very nice and kind to the people who were around him. He seemed to me as more of a soft spoken admin as well as a person. I really wish I had gotten to know him better and was very sad when I was informed of his passing, since I had known his screen name for quite some time. It is a real shame that such a bright, caring, thoughtful person could have something so unfortunate happen to oneself. It is very unfortunate to lose something so valuable as a life, as all life is something so important and is one of the most beautiful gifts anything can be bestowed with. It is always sad to see that gift be lost. But instead of lamenting over his passing, we should celebrate how wonderful of a person he was and how his kindness had impacted all of us in some way. Remember him as a person who was so kind to all that he was surrounded by.

 

To all of his family members who are dealing with such grief, I give to you my deepest sympathies.

Geez... I like to check back on this page from time to time, see how the community is growing, never thought to come back to news like this.

 

I don't know what to say, other than Irvine was such a cool guy! I wouldn't have expected this in a thousand years. Just goes to show you never really know when someone can slip away. Cherish every moment with those you love and care about. Rest in peace, dude.

This is such a shame, I never knew Irvine personally nor do I remember chatting with him since I am hardly online but this really hurts knowing the part he played in the Brohoof community, a much greater part than I could ever play.

 

Many of you have found ways of showing your gratitude by sharing happy memories about him which is the only way anyone can carry on after someone this close passes on... my only advice is to cherish those memories and remember him as the happy person he showed himself to be.

 

My condolences go out to his family and may you rest in peace Irvine.

First time I've been on the forums in awhile and this is the first thing I saw. Like many others here I can't say I knew him personally but he was always a kind and helpful person whenever I had the pleasure of chatting with him. He will be missed and it's great to see that he is being remembered here.

    I haven't been active on these forums or the server in a few years, and never really did take the time to get to know Irvine. I believe I may have spoken with him once or twice, but I didn't get to know him very well. Even so, it's clear to me that he was a cherished member of the community, and while it would be improper of me to do much else, having never really known him, I would at least like to offer my condolences to those who knew him, and called him a friend, or family member.

He didn't deserve that... I might not have known him well but he was an AMAZING admin and an overall swell person. Rest In peace, Irvine... And may you have fun in the world above, where there's no more pain, no more worries- and no more sense of time. And to his family, friends and all those who knew him and were close to him- my sincere condolences.

It's sad I haven't seen this post sooner, but now I'm really sad. I'm gonna miss seeing him on the server.

Although I didn't know him that well I feel that I knew him well enough to say that he was one of my favorite admins. Rest In Peace, Irvine.

I had the good fortune to meet Matt in person once at Bronycon, back when I hung out on the server a lot more often.  It was only the one weekend, but he struck me as a really nice guy and it is always sad to hear someone has left for the next great adventure.  I wish I could say more about him, but others have already made the point fairly clear, and in much more powerful ways than I ever could.

 

We'll miss you buddy.  Hopefully whatever comes after will also ease whatever drove you to this.

...oh my god...
I know I haven't been all that active on Brohoof for a while, and I've been trying to get back into the swing of things, but... 

I never expected to see news like this... 

I remember him being a really nice guy and it was neat getting to know him, especially during the time I was admin. I remember working with him on how he wanted his OC to look for the poster...
he was really kind and swell guy... I feel so sad knowing this... it's like...empty...I... oh my god.. ;~;
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones..

 

..Rest in peace and I hope we meet again someday, Matt. You will be missed.
