It has been almost a year since Shane Campbell, known to us all as (KMA)Sublime, passed away. While most of us old-timers of the clan got to know him very well during his time here, he and I were pretty much inseparable. It seemed that Sublime and I played every game we could together, and spent time just screwing around with each other late into the night.
When I first joined KMA in the summer of 2004, I didn’t really know many people in the clan. Granted, KMA was much smaller than it is know, but aside from Jax, Sublime was one of the first people I talked to and befriended. Our friendship grew over the next few months until we became inseparable. Jax and Spastic, among others, often commented to me that Sublime and I were like 1 person. Us 3 were probably hit the hardest from this tragedy. I speak for myself when I say that I shed tears when I heard the tragic news, and I don’t doubt that both Jax and Spastic did. I had grown away from the game in the few months preceding Shane’s death, and everyone, including Shane, tried to bring me back to the game I had obsessively played over the summer. While I tried when I could, I had drifted so far away from Axis that I had basically forgot how to play. When I learned of Shane’s death, there was almost no point for me to continue playing. I stepped even further away from the game, and even from the clan. I seriously considered removing myself because I felt like it reminded me too much of the great friendship I had built with Shane. I spent a lot of my time contemplating what I could have done with those few months. Shane and I would have, in all likelihood, grown closer. I already thought of him as one of my best friends, and I just wish I had more time to get to know him, and think of him as a brother.
As the 20th of January approaches, I would ask our clan to do something in memoriam of Shane Campbell. For someone you never knew face to face, and only by the name of (KMA)Sublime. For a friend of mine. For Shane.
