This Saturday , I lost a good friend . Someone I used to talk to daily , about absolutely everything . We talked anything from business related content discussing current and future plans to what we eating . From the day I got to know Dave we have exchanged over thousands and thousands of messages , hundreds of phone calls . Dave was kind to invite me and my wife over multiple times , we took a boat trip , dined in favorite places and talked future .
This man was full of ideas he was passionate about everything he touched . To this moment I cannot wrap my head around the fact that he is no more . I cannot belive that there will be no more moments to celebrate and cherish together ..
His latest message to me was night before death and he sent me the following :
โWhen are u a free man
U should come out and hang for a few daysโ
He felt my anxiety and stress I was going through and knew when itโs best to take a break so I donโt burn out completely . He was the most kind and compassionate human being , Iโm sorry to see him leave us so early .
Dave was also a big believer into what I am building , he was heavily invested emotionally and financially into our gaming project , which is now approaching finalization stages . While name is the subject of change , I am giving my promise to continue and bring our idea to existence , it has been the longest road and he belived in it truly .
I will be discussing the best way to move forward with our partners and provide a more detailed update sometime later this week , next week . With that being said , todayโs Metablast spaces are cancelled , we need some time to digest the information and find proper approach to keep on going . If Dave was alive he would probably tell me this :
โYou are fucking pussy Alex , get your shit together and keep on moving โ
He wouldnโt want me stop ,
I wonโt .
We will keep on going
Love you man
I will make this happen for you and we will still battle wherever you are right now . I will bring the full kit and beers .
Alex .
โฅ๏ธIn Loving Memory of David Taylorโฅ๏ธ
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend, Dave. He was not only a rock for so many people but also a brother to me. Dave's kindness, strength, and unwavering support touched countless lives, and his absence will be felt by all who knew him. We are so incredibly grateful for the time we had with him, and we will cherish the memories of his friendship forever.
Daveโs dedication to the work we did together was unmatched, and as he would have wanted, the project will continue. While it may look different due to the challenges ahead, I am committed to completing the goal we shared to the best of my ability, in honor of his vision.
Please know that I will update everyone soon. I need some time to process and figure out the next steps, as well as work on creating a new roadmap moving forward. I appreciate your patience during this time.
At this moment, we ask that you please allow the family the time they need to process and grieve. They are in our thoughts, and we hope for peace and comfort for them in the days ahead.
Dave will be missed more than words can express, but his legacy and impact will live on in all of us.
With deepest sympathy and gratitude,
Robert Lail
