In the blog, we detailed a fundraiser to support his fiancée and one year old daughter here in Reykjavík. Today, we’re ready to share the results, and as we do so, we offer our most sincere gratitude to the community for your incredible generosity and support.

There aren’t any words to describe this, but “epic,” “badass,” and similar words may, with some long-winded speech, come close. It is times like these that help me keep what’s left of my faith in humanity. There’s always one good person in the crowd, and I’m happy to see this belief reinforced by my fellow capsuleers’ efforts. ---

Thank you CCP for giving us the opportunity to show our sympathy to the family of Blaze. The sense of loss is palpable… I can only hope the donations help dampen the blow to know that they are not alone in their grief even tho most of use knew him only from afar… 07 ---
