I met Chris (or as we all know as captain bushman) only for a few months through an online game. He was one of those that reached out to me and made sure that I feel welcomed.

From time to time that I have to ask for help, he was there, no matter what time, he would always help me out in any way he could. I would always come up with a lot of questions and he answered every question that I had asked him in a very patient manner. He was one of those that I treat as a father figure in game.

Captain, you are such a lovely person and you are loved by many, the lessons that you have taught us will forever live within our hearts. I have always been grateful to you and treated you as a family in the online community. I hope you are in peace now.

Your legacy will always be remembered, Captain Bushman!

While i only met Chris (Captain Bushman) briefly in an online community, he left a profound and lasting impression on me. He was above else a passionate supporter of the little guy and those that have been left behind and discarded by others.

Please accept my condolences for your loss and hope that Chris is in a better place now and being taken care of like how he took care of others.

Met Chris recently through an online game and community. What a standup guy he was! Kind and generous, funny. He provided leadership both in life and in the game to many. Will miss chatting with him over coffee, and hope he is in a better place now.

Dear Anita, our deepest condolences on your loss.

Chris (or Captain Bushman as he was known to most of us) was a pillar of an online community which spanned the globe.

While much of the activity revolved around a frivolous game, Chris was to all of us a leader, a mentor, and most importantly, a friend. He engaged all members of the community as individuals and as equals, regardless of who they were, or where they came from.

Chris, I was deeply touched by our last conversation, and will always hold dear the brief engagement we had online together. May you rest in peace.
