Today we were sadly informed about the death of Chris Carrick, aka GTA3Freak-2001, one of the community's longest standing and most respected members. Chris was 27 when he died on Thursday. He had a disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

In the words of Chris's brother, Matthew..

QUOTE (Chris's Brother)

When he spoke about this forum it sounded like he played a big role in it - He was very proud of this Forum - Told everyone it was his full time job as he loved it. I am sorry for the Forums loss.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Chris's friends and family.

RIP Chris.

I... can't believe. I just can't believe!
He was one of the moderators who had served this forums since 2004-2003. A legend of GTAForums. Rest in peace Chris, you will never be forgotten! He couldn't even hit his 30,000 post!

So sad for someone this young to die, RIP.

[Waddy]

Seeing that news this morning was terrible, been feeling so sh*t all day

RIP Chris, I always looked up to you as a moderator here, you will be greatly missed.

[Shayan Shaffey]

It's weird to read his profile now, I feel sorry for him and his family. There has to be a way to make this topic get more attention, maybe it can be added as a banner on this forum or something? I added it to my member title to spread the word

This was quite a shock when I found out about it this morning. Hands down, one of the best member/moderator this forum has ever seen. He'll be sorely missed.

R.I.P Chris.

RIP GTA3Freak-2001, you'll always be remembered.

This is a huge shock, he was a great person and it's very sad to see him go. He'll never be forgotten, I hope you're in peace now Chris.

Very sad.

I'm sure he won't be forgotten here.

Wow, I'm pretty speechless at the moment. I didn't exactly know Chris all that well, but I know he was looked up to as one of the better staff members around here. A huge contributor to these forums and a very, very sad loss.

Rest in peace, Chris. This place won't be the same without you.

RIP Chris. You will not be forgotten at GTANet!

You will be missed around here Chris, you've made such an impact on these forums and have contributed immensely to the smooth running of them. My condolences to your family for what a difficult time this will be for them.

[MobBG]

[Sakuya]

Damn. I always liked that guy. I remember him a lot from my early days here.

R.I.P.

[*MURDOC*]

Rest peacefully old friend, you were one of the kindest people on here, and I have no doubt you were just as awesome in person.

You will be sorely missed.


Farewell.

f*cking crazy man. I never even knew he had this disease or anything. Very terrible news, from what I saw of him he was a great guy, much respect to him and his family.

[meta187]

Oh man...no adequate words.

Literally the first member of staff I dealt with here and the first guy to pin one of my topics back in the spammy San An Gen Chat days.

As Waddy said one of those guys you actually looked up to and took a lot of heed to their opinion.

Staying forever and always on my LIVE contact list, you will be missed, Chris.
