Rest in peace to Igor Vovkovinskiy, aka JediMindTricks

Post by cap174 » Mon Aug 23, 2021 1:32 pm

Hey all, I'm sure some of you may have already heard but if you haven't, longtime server member JediMindTricks passed away on the 20th of August. He was a really nice guy to talk to, and I'm sure everyone on this server, even if they didn't know him personally, remembers what a good hearted and kind man he was. He was a very big fan of ration collecting, and I know it brought him a lot of joy.

Igor was also the tallest man in the United States, and through that he was an inspiration to many and touched the hearts of millions. I thought we could use this thread to share our memories of Igor and memorialise his life.

He will be dearly missed, but his memory will live on forever. Rest in peace Igor.
On an impossible mission to get every ration ever :D

Igor, buddy, you’ll be missed. The community has lost its biggest ration fan.

Was happy to have gotten to know you these last few years and I’m glad you’re no longer in pain and can finally rest.

May your family, in time, think only of the happy memories and smile when they think of you.
All the best, Gents.

While I only knew Igor virtually through the forums as JediMindTricks, it was a pleasure knowing and interacting with him. Rest in peace, Igor.

I only had the pleasure of interacting with Igor a few times, over the forums, but he was one of the nicest people ive ever met. R.I.P Igor

I will echo the same sentiments that everyone else here so far has said. I chatted with Igor a few times here on the forum and he always seemed really nice and obviously had a great love for rations and History in general.
All the best to his loved ones.

Unfortunately never had the pleasure of chatting or knowing him, but will miss all his posts.

Rest in Peace my friend!
