"Rick May... The man who i began to know in 2011.. Even though i just learned his name with a sad news attached to it.. The voice of my favorite and craziest mercenary.. Lied down to rest..

As a main Soldier, i feel that a part of my childhood died with him, for this game was the best company i had for years to come, and 90% of all my friendships began with his voice taunting and yelling domination screams of war..

Thanks to your wonderful voice acting, i made countless friends, and the most precious friendship i have today for a person that i can call my brother.. I made inumerous SFM posters featuring the wonderful personality you created with your voice, the soldier, and i roamed so many maps, casual and competitive alike, completed inumerous jumping maps, and poured 900 hours into soldier without ever getting tired of hearing that sweet rasp and rough voice of complete genius acting..

Im surely not the only one that shed tears for you.. But not because you died, but in celebration for your wonderful sweet life..
I'd only wish you'd see this homage in your name, and i want you to know that you made my childhood the great thing it was.

Thank you Rick May, you will live as a sweet memory to all of us whenever we use your voice as a form of interaction in-game, and never shall you be forgotten."
