those of you that knew him knew how much of an asset he was to the prelude world.. though he was not very active here... most people knew of him.... a member from preludeonline.com went to pay tribute to his grave today....

from preludeonline.com:

'Hey guys, just got back from a trip down to Tucson to see Japes burial on the year anniversary. I have to admit that on the way there I was a little iffy just because I'm a little shy and didn't know how his family would accept me being there, but once I got there they were totally inviting and were really happy to see us (PreludeOnline) there.

Here are some pictures, and as you can see, THEY HAD HIS CAR THERE! I was so stoked to see the Japemobile there! His Dad is taking care of it and even found a list of Japes future mods he wanted to do and is going to try and fulfill all those things Jape wanted to do to the car.


Here are some singles, there is a link at the bottom to high res pictures of all below, and some extras. '

Jape was a great guy and hes greatly missed over at PreludeOnline. Jeremy did a great thing by going out there.

 

damn, I didnt have the chance to know him. What happened if you dont mind me asking?
may he RIP

 

holy old thread. Worth bringing back though. Even though I have been on PO for a while, I didn't have a chance to talk to him personally but for those that are on PO, you know it is a big family and even though most don't meet face to face, it feels like we have known each other for our whole lifes. He will be missed.
