DaisukeJigen/NotJigen...In Memory Of

Geddon_jt · Jun 16, 2003

I actually just got to know Jigen just LAST WEEK. I had about an hour long chat with him on AIM and we finall got to know each other. He had mentioned that he was living at home due to his health, and he was about to turn 21, I think. He seemed like a really cool cat. He said that his parents let him have like 5 arcade cabs in his house, which I thought was a cool gesture on their part.

I just saw him online yesterday and was going to say whats up.

This is too bad. Best wishes to his family.

I knew there was a reason why I was feeling unusually ill yesterday. I'm both shocked and saddened to hear about Jigen's sudden departure. For a man I never met, he did a good deal of things for me on these forums, ranging from answering various questions to uploading pics for my sigs. Even now, I'm still in disbelief that such a great man has left us.

In dedication to the late Daisuke Jigen, I've decided to post one of my unused sigs he had uploaded for me:

We'll miss you, man.

...sad day indeed... crying

Clint..I remember when I first came into chat and you tried to expalin to me why using mIRC was better than java chat. You then spent well over an hour helping my dumb ass set up mIRC, and answering all of my many questions. I was so impressed to see someone I hardly knew being so kind. As I got to know you in chat, and on these boards I saw how you took time to help others as well.

You'll be missed......

I remember talking to him all the time,
both of us mutually gripeing about ngf,
talking about top hunter and other games.
i just can't believe it.
I'll miss him.
I hope I'm fortunate enough to see him one day.

Briggs:
In lieu of flowers, I made a donation to the <a href="http://cff.org" target="_blank">Cystic Fybrosis Foundation</a> I'll let the family know it was a gift from all Clint's friends at Neo-Geo.com

If you want to contribute, click the above link to make a contribution.

Great idea.

I just made a donation in his honor.

ResO · Jun 16, 2003

I can't think of anything to say right now. I'm crying right now as i'm typing this. he was a good guy and he didn't deserve this. Clint was the only person to talk to me about neo outside of this forum. I don't know, I feel selfish mentioning neo-geo right now. I hope many of you had the pleasure of knowing Clint on a more personal level than I had the chance to. This is just too damn unfair, he's too young for this.

Lashujin · Jun 16, 2003

My condolences to the family. It's sad I never really got to know him, but he seemed like a great member of the community.

Kazuya_UK · Jun 16, 2003

God... this really is terrible news. I didn't know him well, but I did speak with him a few times on IRC now and then and he was a good guy. I'd just like to pass on my best wishes to his family and friends, although there isn't much you can really say at a time like this.

I'd like to dedicate <a href="http://snkguitarist.com/jigen/jigen.mp3" target="_blank">a piece of music</a> to honor his memory. Hope you can give Steve some competition up there man. Hopefully we can all take part in a great Neo get-together on the other side..

FeelGood · Jun 16, 2003

Holy fucking shit. Talk about a shocker. I was reading Makismo's post in general and then he mentioned Jigen was dead. I read it twice to make sure then I figured he was just trying to get a rise out of everyone like usual. Then I check here and see this. oh_no

I didn't really know him much like I don't know anybody on these boards but I think he called me on my jackass behavior a couple of times but now he won't anymore. Plus he was always meeting up with other members and going to the gatherings and stuff. crying

OrochiEddie · Jun 16, 2003

My prayers are with you Clint. Not even in half a year have we lost two of the greatest board members. I never got to know him greatly but the posts I read by him were great. Live on in our hearts!

I have no NTM tutor now,

ResO · Jun 16, 2003

Do you guys think anyone can set up a paypal account that we can make donations to? I'm sure if we all make a small effort together we can lift the burden of the family's funeral costs.

KOF_FANATIK · Jun 16, 2003

we argued all the time, but that doesen't mean I don't have a heart.

Clint I feel very sad to here this news but i know that we will all see you again on judgement day and we all know you will be going to heaven when god comes.

sweet dreams buddy you aren't dead but are taking a very nice sleep till that day. god bless you and your family. crying

aria · Jun 16, 2003

News should never have to be this horrible, not on this website. Yet sadly it has been, now on a second occasion in less than a year. This time to one of the most involved members of the entire community.

I'm very grieved to hear about this tragedy. My deepest sympathies to his family. I had the opportunity to talk with him on the phone a little over a year ago, and he was a very bright, articulate fellow. While his life here on earth was short, I think he lived it as best as it could be lived. And that's all any of us can hope for.

Rest in peace.

EsKo · Jun 16, 2003

This is really sad news to me. I had no ieda untill just now.

I owe Jigen some money and I just about have it together for him, unfortunatley I never got his address, and now this...

If anyone could help me out here on what to do I'd appreciate it.

Rest In Power, Clint

You will be forever remembered in our hearts

Give it to his family, or send it as an arrangement for his burial, with some kind words for him.

it's the right thing to do.

DangerousK · Jun 16, 2003

While I spoke with him only several times and did not agree with points of view he had in posts (I never replied to them), he was easily one of the most recognizable and known members. He really was a large part of this site and with him gone it's like something is now missing.

I wish his family the best in this time of loss. He certainly will not be forgotten by anyone here. He had an incredibly positive outlook having the disease he had, but he was able to make the most of his time. I think his actions are ones we should follow while examining our own lives. I had a lot of respect for him going toe to toe with Dion/NGF last summer. I will certainly miss Jigen. RIP, and have fun up there with the big Neo Geo Land in the sky.

Daisuke had a serious illness, but kept all the time the joy in life .

An example to follow.

He has finished to suffer, it is already a good thing...

(Sorry for my english, hope you will understand)

Everytime I read about young people that had to
die much to early and were very nice too, I ask
myself why they had to die while there are so
many assholes on this planet that seem to live
forever.

Instead of Jigen, Bin Laden or Saddam should
leave this world. Life's not fair!
