RIP Yellowbeard (Corsair)

[Nelly]

I've just read the xtreme systems forums and sorry to say Yellowbeard has passed away.

Mike Clements. Devoted father and loving husband of 16 years passed away yesterday in his sleep. He was 45 years old.

Mike was employed at Corsair and loved his job. He registered under the name Yellowbeard.

As you can imagine this is a shock to everyone involved. Please help by donating to his memorial.

Yellowbeard was always helpful on these forums, and active on the Abit official forum years ago, used to chat on msn messenger back around then, always always helpful, gave good advice with memory issues.

RIP Yellowbeard.

I was a friend of Mike Clements for nearly 20 years, and his passing sent a shock through all of his friends, online and IRL. He lived his life happy with his friends and companions, and would want us to hold a beer high for him, and then carry on knowing his wind was at our sails.

I was also amazed that (I believe) the CEO of Corsair, who personally hired mike, made time to be at his funeral this afternoon, and delivered a heart felt and uplifting eulogy. This shows not only how strong that Mike was able to make his friendship bonds, but also how a company truly cares about their employees. I would have thanked this man personally for his kind words to one of my best friends, but I will certainly give any business that I can to a company that cares that much about their people.

Thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers, the sun lost a bit of its splendor this week.
