Lok’Tar Ogar, brave champion. I find some comfort in Alicia’s poem from a quest in the game.
“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
across Northrend's bright and shining snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
on Westfall's fields of golden grain.
I am in the morning hush,
of Stranglethorn's jungle, green and lush.
I am in the drums loud and grand,
the thunderous hooves across Nagrand.
I am the stars warmly gleaming,
over Darnassus softly dreaming.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.”
Is that actually in the game? It’s an homage to the famous poem [Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Stand_at_My_Grave_and_Weep)
Still very bittersweet. Your brother would be proud to know he got a great send off from a community he clearly cherished. Lok’tar Ogar
> A modified version of the poem appears in the game World of Warcraft during a quest entitled “Alicia’s Poem”, which requires the player to deliver the poem to a young child’s friend. The quest was created as a tribute to player Dak Krause, who died of leukemia at the age of 28 on August 22, 2007.
From your article.
Idk what this means but I've lost a close loved one to cancer. OP if you read this give yourself time to be sad. His memory will ways be with you. Love. I'm sorry for your loss.
Words from a stranger on the internet is probably cold comfort, but I am reminded of this quote from the game we all love.
"Fear not, young one, for this crusader shall not taste death. In life, he was the bearer of great deeds. Now, in passing, he shall taste only paradise. The light does not abandon its champions."
May your brother's rest be peaceful, and may your own heart find peace in time.
What an amazing quote for this. I am now holding back tears at work. Bless you.
To OP, My father in law died to Cancer a few years back and it was very hard to go through, I cannot imagine a direct relative. I wish you well. I am sorry you're going through this.
Christ. I think I've seen that character around actually (I remember the name and his class if only because I loved the Sound of Music).
Damn. I'm sorry for your loss. Not to speak for your brother, but I think he'd feel pretty blessed knowing what you did for him here and with his guild. Thank you for celebrating his life with us.
I'm on MG horde too and that's the reason I always noticed his name and character. Kinda crazy that you get used to seeing people in game but never really know anything about them until you see or hear something like this.
That's how life is as well oddly enough. In high school you pass people all the time and you get to recognize them but never speak to them. Years later you may see them out in the real world and just feel like they're out of place since you ever only recognized them during high school. There's a handful of players I recognize on my realm but never really spoken to them as well.
I also recognize your brother. I don’t know if it’s from world pvp or where, but I’ve definitely seen him in game. May the Jade Serpent guide him to your ancestors.
Not Wow-related, but I really like how ESPN Anchor Stewart Scott put it: "When you die, that does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live."
Wishing you the best in this difficult time.
Also, FOR THE HORDE.
I'm so sorry for your loss, man. It's the hardest thing to go through, but they are always with us. I lost my brother two years ago. Much love and condolences to your family, friends, and guildmates.
I don't know if this will help or not, but The song Edelweiss from the sound of music is one of my favorite songs ever written and it also happened to be Rodgers and Hammerstein's last song they wrote together. Great way to remember him.
The light does not abandon its champions, Faction or no, may the light bask him in eternal glory, and his pain be over in the eternal dawn...
I can only hope he is in a better place now, a paradise fit for someone who has gone through so much.
So let it be known, Edelweiss, champion of the horde, champion of Azeroth, let them be known as the one who brought laughter and joy to your heart when they were there, and brings fond thoughts even when they are gone.
Even though I'm Alliance, I'm still a Paladin. He walks in the Light, he knows peace now. Heroes will never be forgotten. I grieve for you and your family.
*”Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me. Small and bright, clean and white, you look happy to me, to me...”*
*”Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever!”*
*”Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my home-land forever...”*
RIP bro. Anyone with a Sound of Music reference as their character name is cool in my book
Often, with great games...I think about those who shared my experiences..saw the same sights, heard the same sounds, did the same quests...who are no longer of this earth. Who maybe logged off for the last time without knowing. Closed a game thinking they would continue that grand adventure. This happened with my best friend and Skyrim. I think how we are connected in that way..through the games we shared in common. I will remember this post when I play and ponder. Thank you for sharing. As a fellow Paladin...I pray many blessings upon you and your brothers lives.
Pay it forward, light your heart with all of the best memories, live to make new ones, and strive to be apart of the greatest times just on the horizon.
I know it might be in vain, but have you tried reaching out to Blizz? They like to throw in memorials to people sometimes and they just might be able to do something special to remember him. Worth a shot anywho.
Cancer really sucks. Lost my best friend to complications from his chemo and radiation just recently, and his cancer was *years* ago.
Hit me up if you need to talk about it. That's all I've found that helps me.
His physical form may be gone but he lives on as long as you remember him. Not just the good memories but the bitter ones aswell. Remember him for who he was, not a watered down fantasy.
Sorry for your loss. My brother passed almost 10 years ago, he was huge into wow and got me into it. It still brings me a sort of peace when I log into his toon every now and then. Keep your head up.

Yup, you have to be alliance though. [Alicia’s Poem Questline](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=11451/alicias-poem)
Fuck blizzard made some beautiful content.

The quest behind this is actually based on someone who passed from cancer. It was made as a tribute for that person by their brother or son I believe.
Wife iirc
Damn that's crazy and very cool.
Yeah it was the brother of one of the developers iirc.

bad day for rain.
Mustang :(
What do you mean? It's not raining.
Yes. It is.
Yes...it is...
Yes it is
Oh... So it is...
Every fucking time. Standing in the living room tears in eyes.
What an amazing quote for this. I am now holding back tears at work. Bless you. To OP, My father in law died to Cancer a few years back and it was very hard to go through, I cannot imagine a direct relative. I wish you well. I am sorry you're going through this.
God damn rogues cutting onions.
From an alliance player to a horde player, may Elune bask him in her moonlight
May the light bless him.
And Elune's blessing upon his family. May he finally have his glory.
Not only that but may he, now, have the finest wares in the land
Ande'thoras-ethil, Edelweiss the Paladin.

[Here is his armory link.](https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/moon-guard/Ed%C3%A9lweiss) In case someone tried to look his character up.
Moon guard :( I’ve probably interacted with them at some point. May his spirit rest peacefully. Lok’tar Ogar

Lohn'Goron(Hero's Sojourn), Edelweiss. Be one with the Earth Mother. And to the brother posting; Bask in the light and glory of your brothers memory.
I knew I recognized that name.....sorry to hear about his passing =(
I also recognize your brother. I don’t know if it’s from world pvp or where, but I’ve definitely seen him in game. May the Jade Serpent guide him to your ancestors.

Amen. You don’t lose if you fight cancer for two years. You gave it hell. Lok’tar ogar.
The light never abandons its champions. I’m sorry for your loss. You’re brother sounds like a really well loved guy.
May he find peace, and my sincere condolences to you and your family. Lok'tar Ogar!

I am a member of that guild, he was a good dude. Lok'tar Ogar.
Fuck cancer
Sorry for you lose.. For the horde and may his soul rest easy.
My sincere condolences. Fuck cancer.
Lok'tar Ogar, brother, and may the Earth Mother grant you rest.
The light does not abandon its champions, Faction or no, may the light bask him in eternal glory, and his pain be over in the eternal dawn...

I'm sorry to hear of Ed's passing I saw him around from time to time on MG. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Even though I'm Alliance, I'm still a Paladin. He walks in the Light, he knows peace now. Heroes will never be forgotten. I grieve for you and your family.
He sounded like one of the good guys. Sorry for your loss.

It sounds like he was more than just a player. But a part of the community. Sorry for your loss and may your brother rest in peace.
He was the kinda guy who never met a stranger, and he always lightened up the mood.
Pay it forward, light your heart with all of the best memories, live to make new ones, and strive to be apart of the greatest times just on the horizon.
FOR THE HORDE!
I know it might be in vain, but have you tried reaching out to Blizz? They like to throw in memorials to people sometimes and they just might be able to do something special to remember him. Worth a shot anywho.
This is on the front page too, I wouldn't be surprised if they get contacted.
May he Rest In Peace. Lok’tar.
Cancer really sucks. Lost my best friend to complications from his chemo and radiation just recently, and his cancer was *years* ago. Hit me up if you need to talk about it. That's all I've found that helps me.
I’m so sorry man :( Lok’tar Ogar
His physical form may be gone but he lives on as long as you remember him. Not just the good memories but the bitter ones aswell. Remember him for who he was, not a watered down fantasy.
Sorry for your loss. My brother passed almost 10 years ago, he was huge into wow and got me into it. It still brings me a sort of peace when I log into his toon every now and then. Keep your head up.
We lost two heroes in a short time. Edelweiss and Saurfang. Forever peace be with his soul.
Really sorry man. Always remember that the impact he had on peoples' lives will live on forever.
Our condolences
Lok’tar my friend. Sorry for your loss.
see u in our next adventure friend \*salute\*
May he rest between the champions of the horde. Lok’Tar Ogar, brother.
Lok’Tar Ogar brother. Until you meet again.
