R.I.P. Brimstone

Today we bring truly heartbreaking news to the wargaming community.  We have all lost one of the pillars of the the community, taken far to early.  Jon Wilson, aka Brimstone, one of the elder statesmen of Warseer, Portent before it, and a myriad other Warhammer forums had passed away suddenly at the age of 42.

News from Mr. Wilson’s family:

Hi,

I’m Sarah, Jon’s sister (aka Brimstone). I’m sorry to tell you that Jon died last Sunday 20th December 2009. He had a heart-attack and it was very sudden.

I’m trying to get in contact with his friends to let them know. Please can you pass this on to anyone you think should know?

The funeral will be 1.40pm at West Hertfordshire Crematorium on Tuesday 5th January 2010.

If you have any questions or think I should speak to anyone in particular, please can you email me at [email protected].

Thanks
Sarah

~The Bell of Lost Souls tolls but rarely for the mightiest of heroes among us, and it with a mix of  great sadness and thanks for Jon’s tireless work for the wargaming community over the years that we ring it today.  Please leave your thoughts and condolances in the comments.
