<3 RIP my friend

I miss your laugh
I miss you yelling SCROTAAAAAAA
You laughed at my terrible jokes
You helped me get better at PvP
I miss hearing Yooooooooo and Hellooooooooo and

"No worries!!!"

A legend. That word fits the best.

Amazing dedication OT, for an amazing individual.

I'm happy to have atleast been able to run Crota's sword for him a few times, just so he could chill and fire some G-horns :)

Rest in Peace Dr (Carry me!) Drizz. Gone but forever living on by the brightness of his light.

Again, my heart and prayers go out to his family <3<3<3

Great work on the OT, Guardians!

Great OT, thanks to everyone who put in the effort. Truly in the spirit of Drizz himself.

The final image with the Osiris flavor text is heartbreaking.

Rest in peace, Drizz.

Fantastic work on the OP Hawkian, and thanks to everyone who shared stories.

Never stop moving forward as a community helping each other, it's what he would have wanted.

RIP Drizzay

Thank you for all the effort this must have taken. An oustanding OP for an outstanding individual. He will be missed.

I only made a brief statement in the first post because I knew it was going to be so packed. To be fair, I don't have a wall o text story to tell about Drizzay because he spent so much time with me, but he spent so much time with everyone. I remember jumping into Unstable's party to yell at them about fighting with each other (well mostly to yell at Unstable for fighting with him), and I remember begging him to sign on so I could relinquish the sword to him on hard Crota so I could get some damn sleep, and I remember lining up all of the Skolas runs for all the BetrayThis members through him, and I remember all the trials runs he blessed me with; many successful and many where I just dragged his k/d down. Was all that a run on sentence? Yes it was, because that was the nature of our relationship. He gave me so much more than I could ever give back and now the scales will be forever tipped in his favor. RIP man, we all loved you.

Outstanding OT, well done Hawkian and Lnkn, and all the others that contributed to the OT.

Things won't be the same around here without Drizzay, he'll be missed greatly.

He was clearly an amazing person, and my thoughts go out to his family and friends, including everyone here that knew him.

A great and fitting OT that stands as a testament to his memory.

Embrace the not-knowing...Guardian down.

Great work all those involved, it's going to be strange going through a new OT without him but i'm sure everyone will make it a fantastic one! RIP Drizz.

This thread feels like a huge exhale after holding my breath all week... I was first reading each story as it came it, but that got to be too emotional, so I held off, read a few last night, and then read 30+ for the first time this morning and have basically been crying the whole time since. Just now feeling like I am starting to catch my breath again.

I wonder. I don't actually know if Drizz was a Douglas Adams fan or not. I know that he, as I am, was a Dr. Dre fan, which is just as good in my book.

I added some incredible screenshots igordennis had to the end of his story.

Also, this didn't really belong as part of the tribute, but rewatching it had me laughing through tears, laughing just like I did the day it happened:

Wish I had been recording voice, we were all cracking up...

Fantastic tribute! I hope somewhere in the afterlife Drizz is able to find all of the secrets in the vault and gets to play trails with the creator.

We have, each of us, only a finite amount of time in this universe. We don't know how long that will be. We can't know how long it will be.

To embrace the not-knowing is to bear this in mind, and rather than allowing it to paralyze you, let this knowledge fill you with a sense of purpose. If any moment may be your last, then even a moment cannot be wasted. Every day is an opportunity to enrich the lives of those around you in whatever way you can. Any way that you can.

As you can see from the stats above, Dr. Drizzay was an exceptional player in every part of Destiny. But Drizz was more than just talented. More than just dedicated. Every minute of every hour of every day he spent in this community, he lived in a way that made it better. Doling out information to those that needed it. Ensuring other people enjoyed themselves. Giving them the best possible chance to succeed. Preventing our little community from getting (too) salty. With boundless patience and true humility he embraced the not-knowing, and simply made our lives better for being a part of his.

Now it's up to us to do the same. If you're here, you're one of us. Answer a call to help with a Nightfall or a story mission. Take an extra moment to hand out some info or a compliment. Jump into a raid when you know you can give the fireteam a shot at coming out victorious. And don't ever be afraid to ask for help, even if you're new. Take every chance you encounter to make any given moment just a little bit better for someone else in this community. You don't have to be a raid master, or a Trials hero, but you can help and be helped.

We cannot replace Dr. Drizzay, but we can carry on his legacy.

All of us are in pain, in mourning. The sadness may only fade with time. But embracing the not-knowing—and the good that comes from this community—that's how the good Doctor will live on in all of us. That's how we make sure his Legend never dies.

Eyes up, Guardians.

This so eloquently captures the spirit our dear friend. Thank you.

Fantastic job on the OT to all contributors. This is the best OT I've ever seen and an awesome tribute to the late, great Doc. We'll miss you Drizzay and we'll never forget your selfless contributions to this community.

Since I haven't been home this past week, I haven't been able to gather all my screenshots or videos.

Sucks because I took a lot of screen shots with drizz and lnkn hudless and I wish some were not hudless.

Great OT Hawk and everyone who contributed.

Drizz, you will be missed but I think each and everyone one of us that you helped will work to carry on your spirit in this great community.

I found the same pic of Drizzay standing their after taking down Crota with the Flawless Raider trophy popping up. He's immortalized in my trophy list forever. Thank you automatic PSN screenshot feature.

That was my one and only time playing with Drizzay and it left a lasting impression. He was just so nice and patient. It only took us 34 minutes and that was with me asking a million questions, but he was a gentleman through out.

He helped us with our Flawless Trophy as well. I was tagged to do the thrall section solo and failed the first two times. We nailed the whole thing on our next try and Drizz was nice enough to post on here that we had done it on out first "real try." (;

Hawkian, John of Mars , Lnkn52 and everyone this is amazing.

As to you Dr Drizzay, I will do what I can to be a good part of this community that you helped introduce me to. And I'll try to do better in Trials, both in play and in spirit, promise :)

Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic OT! Couldn't possibly be a better tribute to such an awesome guy. Makes me teary eyed again reading it and every post so far in this thread.

RIP Drizzay, we miss you :(

Just as I did before, I made a list that we would help people get their Year 2 Hic Jakets followed by Cat Emblems.

This weekend and next weekend are the last 2 weeks.

I will prioritize by those who need Year 2 Emblems, and those that want to go for the views/loots/etc. If there are virgins, we could try them as well.

1) Cat Emblem
- Deku
- Ruffles

2) Virgins

3) Loots


I will be available Sunday and Monday this weekend, and pretty much all weekend long the final weekend the Cat emblem is available.

I'll try to grab Igor, Ape, Wicked and Biggy to help out starting Sunday.

If I'm correct, I think I was part of that fireteam. Was so fun and easy with Drizz. I got Guardian Lord that time...

Fantastic OT: I think my tribute and name got lost in the outpouring of support but we had great times. His stats speak for themselves. Until next time guardian.
