Yorktown teen from fatal stump grinder accident identified

So, me and my group of friends had a very important friend that was an extremely dedicated League of Legends player, and all he wanted was to achieve the Gold rank. He played Riven relentlessly, attempting to master her, and other various champions like Yasuo. He was extremely determined, and he recently died in a terrible work related accident where he was sucked into a tree stump grinder. His favorite skin was Redeemed Riven, and every time he made a flashy play he would say "That's me baby." Is there any way Riot that we could get this dialogue in the game in his memory? Please Riot it would mean alot.

I am worried about his parents though. They must have taken the news pretty hard

Silver 1 right now, been trying for gold all season. Sorry to hear about your friend, I think I'll be using Redeemed Riven in my next promos to honor a fellow Riven player.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I send my condolences to his family and friends ... way too young.

I hope Riot adds something in game to honor him!

Everyone try to get this out to as many riot employees and supporters as possible, it would mean a lot!

Sorry to hear about the loss, but I highly doubt it.

My little brother was accidentally shot and killed last year, and they won't even give me his account so I can log onto it once a year so the name doesn't get taken.

Too young. Rest in peace.

Riot, since you haven't made a Riven Skin for a while (I think) please give him a skin in his honor.

Very tragic way to die. Hopefully, his passion for this game will live on and he can be golden wherever he is now. [zombie-nunu-tears]

Anyway, i'm sorry for the loss.

(BUT HOW IN WHY IN THE HELL COULD THAT HAVE EVEN HAPPEN..THATS LIKE A SAD SCARY STORY WE ALL HEAR FROM OUR CHILDHOOD)

Riot please make this happen

Sorry OP, RIP to your friend. Riot, please, help him out!

Mister Sunglow5/16/2016, 9:33:53 PM7 votes

Man, sorry for your loss. It sucks when things happen that are out of your control and you wish they weren't/never happened to begin with. Sounds like he was a nice guy who had fun playing LoL with his friends. FeelsBadMan...

Riot, this is a good idea and you should put some form of memorial to this guy within Riven's dialogue (similarly to Jax's)

JustARivenMain5/16/2016, 11:57:07 AM7 votes

My condolences. Riven is my favorite champion (Lore and Gameplay wise)

Bumb. This sounds gorgeous, please do this Riot, please

Good lord, what a way to go. I'm sorry for your loss and I send my condolences, may he rest with God. I can't do much, but I'll play Riven the best I can for awhile.

Sorry to hear for your loss OP and it sounds like a touching idea. Up vote to get a riot poster to see this have a heart. Plenty of games have done something like this in the past through make a wish and other such charities but it would be the first time I've heard of a company taking the initiative themselves.

Shared this on both the official page and a fan cosplay group i follow hopefully people will see and up vote so we get a red post in here.

Would mean a great deal to us (his friends) if Riot actually were to do something as simple as make an icon for us. Something that will permanently harbor his affection for the game within the game and with us.

summoner 1 Amumu item 3151 I wish you, his friends, and his family the best of luck dealing with the loss. If they add that quote, may it be in a way that honors his memory in the best of ways.
