Hello to the Bungie/ Destiny Community,
Many may not care because you have never gotten to know him, but as of October 4th 2015, Destiny lost one of the bravest Guardians I have ever met. His Xbox Gamer-tag was [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/1816748]DangMrJones[/url]. He was a great man, and an awesome friend. I met him shortly after the launch of Halo Reach, we were playing Swat. He was a random guy my friends and I played against but we invited him to the Live party and began to talk to him, soon after that we became friends and played many matches together and even moved onto other games after people began to move away from Reach. He played all of Bungie's Halo games, and even loved to boast about the fact that he still had the Master Chief helmet from the Halo 3 Legendary Edition. He even got the Halo Legendary symbol tattooed onto his leg. He loved the games that Bungie made regardless of any glitches/bugs that made the game not fun for some.
Then Destiny came out, we played together since day one, created a clan, and through playing the raids and POE found many more people who were touched by Jones. Jones was an honest person, he would tell you the truth, even if the truth hurt, and he would never say stuff behind your back. After the Xbox One came out some of our friends shifted to the newer console, but even though I have an Xbox One, I still stuck behind and played with him. I would like to say 90% of the time he played, I was right their with him.
As I'm typing this I am thinking back on the time I was able to spend with him. One of the last conversations I had with him was about him not getting to finish the Kings Fall raid. He had gotten to Oryx multiple times, but people would call it quits and then he would lose the momentum to keep going. So, he would call it quits and try to come back to it at a later date. It makes me sad to think that I couldn't finally help him though that last part before he passed. The day of his passing (we played until the early morning hours of the day), before I got off we went to the Dreadnaught and played some Court of Oryx and beat the Argonaut rune, then we finished it off with some PvP. After playing PvP I said that I was going to get off, and that I would talk to him later. However, I am sad to think that I won't be able to talk to him later, and many other people will never to get a chance to talk to him or talk to him again.
Where ever he is now I hope he knows he is missed, and that the world has lost one of the greatest guardians to ever make his legend known. Your friends will be waiting for you to respawn, and hopefully soon your ghost will tell you "eyes up, Guardian!"
TL;DR: (well you should've read it, but I won't blame you) The world lost one of the bravest, truest, and most legendary Guardians October 4th 2015. He will sorely be missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. I may have only known him online, but I feel as if I lost a brother. We will be waiting for you to respawn.

R.I.P, While this guardian may have lost his light his legend will only grow. His name shall be written on a Statue in the Tower.

Damn dude, Sorry for your loss. May he Rest In Peace

I just lost a friend who game birth to a boy then died shortly after. This happened only 11 hours ago and I didn't get the message until 1 hour ago. This is the same pain your feeling because I was best friends with this person

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow and death I shall fear no hive for my light is strong. The great fallen houses will quake for my hammer will bring fiery destruction to their very foundation. The vex will know what a true storm feels like for my lightning is unstoppable. The taken shall not escape for my bows tether catches all. Though I light the way forward I will have no fear because my path will never be forgotten.

Dude, I hate it when someone you care about dies, if it makes you feel better, I'll kill oryx in his name. It's the least I can do for you man. Jones sound like somewhat like a brother to you, so I respect that. Like I said, I'll kill oryx for him if you didn't already.

Adios convios condios Or in English Good bye and may God bless you

May his memory be forever etched in our minds. May his word reach across the night, and the night soon answer. Farewell, guardian, and my condolences to those who knew him as family or friend. Legends never die.

May he rest in piece I hope wherever he is now is filled with joy he sounded like an amazing guy and I'm disappointed I didn't meat him but wherever his journey takes him I'm sure you'll find a trail of dead thralls just knowing that his last word was to his friend i can only hope that it was painless sorry for you're fallen guardian -as ghost would say guardian down.....but not out.

Edited by Post Trombone: 10/8/2015 2:06:03 AMYou should finish the raid in his name... or with his character maybe... But, I'd understand if you wouldn't want to do that. May he be remembered as a legend in the fight against the darkness, and, a formidable competitor in the Crucible.

Another guardian is Lost in the dark corners of time, yet hopefully god may cleanse his soul and you will be reunited with him. Sorry guardian.

It's truly a sad thing when someone who is cared for and so deeply valued is stolen from our lives. Though I may not have known him nor met him truly know that the community understands and sends our condolences to all this has caused heartache to. He may not have lived long but the importance of life is making time count, not counting time. DangMrJones has clearly shown us how to do just that. He touched a lot of people and brought happiness to their lives. God bless him and may he always exist in our thoughts and good deeds. RIP DangMrJones

I am very sorry to hear about this, I've met many of my friends on xbox and just to think about losing any of them would kill me! Stay strong guardian. He sounded like a real nice lad, I know he's in a better place now. R.I.P Jones =(
