So as some of you may be aware, Derfie's family reached out over Facebook to let Derf's friends and fans know that he has died due to traumatic brain injuries sustained from brain tumors which Derfie dealt with his entire life.

He was a guy that just wanted to make everyone laugh.

Rest in peace, Broder.

Lol I still remember the shennanigans that lovable clown would shout out during besieged back in the day. Browsed some of his vids on youtube and they did take me back to memory lane in seeing all of those players i used see/play with. Rest in peace broder, you will be missed :/

Thank you so much for posting a remembrance for him, I had a feeling FFXIAH might have shared the sad news. Phillip aka Derfthegalka was a sweet, kind hearted soul that I had the pleasure of calling my best friend for over 24 years. So I remember when me and him used to make pranks on forums, and I remember of all the forums, FFXIAH was the most welcoming and enjoyable because he loved each of you for the laughs. I know he can get on your nerves lol but sometimes we need that moment of dumb from our adult lives.

thank you from his family and for helping keep his memory alive. I know Phillip would tell me to say this:

WHY THANK YA BRODERS FOR DAH LAUGHS DAH DANG OLE DANG OL CRIZERS AND FUR THE 5K.. ERR 500K YEP I NEED IT FOR MY +2 BONE HARNESS.



YO. 0_______0

RIP Phillip. We all miss you.

RIP.
As someone said:
"One day the servers will be turned down. We'll not have our jobs and levels, neither the super equipment and gil. What will remain will be our memories of the adventures we had, and of the friends with whom we did it. At Vanadiel."

FF11 to many of us is more than just a game, it's very much like the town we grew up in. So reading of one our past or present community passing is always very sad to me in a way I never really feel with any other game, whether I knew them personally or not.

In a way, because of how we see peoples avatars as overlays of themselves it's like the person passed and also the character that represented them.

I've had a friend I met in the game pass away many years ago, and also just lost contact with people that meant a lot to me in FFXI too. One of the great things about the nature of the games world is that while roaming around doing your daily routines, you'll get little happy moments of remembrance of them in memories triggered from those places.

Rest in peace Derfie and any other of our fellow Vana'diel kin that may have passed over the years.

Such sad news, best wishes to his family and friends.

Never did manage to see him in-game, but his forum posts always got a laugh out of me, especially this one:



Rest well, Derf!

I was just reading the replies- and especially about how we interact online behind avatars as overlays to our true selves. Fact of the matter is, we are all human beings with families and friends. FFXI was/is a once-in-lifetime game- 'wow' we get to interact with people all over the world! I made so many connections and memories I still do this day hold dear my experiences in this game. Look, Derfthegalka was over the top LOL and objectively I see all of the points- I even told him to not overdo it because I didn't want SquareEnix to ban! But anyway, seriously thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. These passed few days have been the worse- but this helps with sense of closure and remembrance.

Don't know who that was but rest in peace regardless.

Always tough when someone passes away, my condolences to anyone affected by this passing.

Edit: Was apparently a necro but point still holds true.
