Saluting an Officer
by Alphaville Herald on 18/12/06 at 10:41 am
The Herald sends its condolences on the death of Second Life resident Jordan Witherspoon, who passed away recently at the age of only 28. Jordan was a member of the Alliance Navy, a role-playing group that was committed to policing portions of SL on its own (though opinions as to its beneficence differed, depending on which end of the policing you were on). We’ve covered the Navy and related groups several times in the Herald, and have always appreciated them not just for their tabloid fodder, but for their efforts toward self-governance and their commitment to their task. Jordan’s passing was marked by a memorial that drew some 200 SL residents. As noted on eightbar (where I first read about this), our thoughts are with Jordan’s family.

Thank you, Walker. *nods* We appreciate the sentiment. Jordan/Dorian was a great person, and Alliance stuff aside, one of the greatest people I’ve ever had the honor to have called a friend.
To all who have offered condolences, your words are appreciated.

I hope she is in a better place now. I never really got to know her, but I did get my ass handed to my by her on several occasions in which I thought it might be a bright idea to raid Tethys.

Lenny, you are an incompetent moron and dishonorable to boot. One of AN’s people died in real life and you’re laughing at that? I hate people like you who laugh at saddening things like this.
