Honoring one of my friends who isn’t here anymore

A few days ago one of my closest friends from my childhood and beyond passed away. He was only a few years older than me. I have so many memories with him whether it be sleepovers or just going for a bike ride.

We played infinite flight together back in 2021, and when he joined the IFC, he was even New Member of The Month.

As time went on, I began to become distant to him and we didn’t really hang out anymore, but hearing this news just brought back so much. It’s hard losing someone you’ve known for a long time, and just to have it be taken away so fast is just incredibly hard.

I dug through my camera roll, and found some screenshots of some flights we did together. So, here they are.

I will try my best to get the correct details but might get some wrong as this was many years ago.

This flight was from LAX to SFO I believe. We got on after school and he escorted me while I was flying. Training server I think.




I still remember this one lol, it was a super nice flight we did. This took place somewhere over Alberta Canada, on the training server.

I’m gonna miss flying with you.

Rest in peace.

Couldn’t remember his IFC account until now. This is the topic he posted all those years ago.

Just makes me sad knowing he’ll never be online again.

Thank you. This means a lot.

I believe God had mercy on him. He wasn’t really a follower of Christ toward the end of his life but he was earlier, and I know he still had it in him. He’s up there with God, I know it. He was a good kid, just made some bad decisions. He should still be here. It’s so hard to think he’s not still.

You know there’s a saying, to be absent in them is to be present to the Lord, I agree

I’m really sorry for your loss. Losing a close childhood friend is incredibly difficult, especially when the memories come flooding back. Cherish the moments you shared, whether in person or in Infinite Flight because they’ll always be a part of you.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Now he is at least immortalised on this beautiful topic. Rest in peace, and he is not dead until he is forgotten- which I am sure he will never be. Fly higher than before.
