DaisukeJigen/NotJigen...In Memory Of

[DriftWerx]

Hey, I'm new to the forums, and Clint sounded like a great guy. It's sad that I didn't come here earlier to talk to him. It's way sadder that he passed away. 20 is WAY too young. Before school was out, we were studying Cystic Fibrosis in class. My teacher was explaining how bad it was, what doctor's use to treat it, etc. It's very fatal, and I know I really know how bad it is... My deepest condolences to Clint and his family, I hope someday I become a gamer of his caliber...

My condolences goes to you and your family

This is the last news I was expecting when I arrived back after these last few weeks. I have no words to express how I feel at the moment, I am still in shock.

Clint, I am sorry I never got the chance to meet you face to face. My trip down that way just did not come together soon enough.

Perhaps later I will be able to properly express how I feel. For now, I am forced to rely on the words of another writer.

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

So sad, but he looks alright, I mean when he posts he don't look sick or what?

Please, if you don't understand English well enough to know that Clint has passed away, don't post here. This is a very serious thread and his relatives will be reading it... I hope you understand...

I think WW is trying to say that although he was suffering, he never complained or winged about the condition, he had the spirit and guts to live with it untill the sad end. His last post mentioned "shortness of breath and being light headed". Now hes gone and we are all sad
Rest in Peace DJ.

 

[JLukas]

My condolences go out to his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Clint.

 

[BC_Gambit]

As everyone else has expressed, my condolences go out to his friends and family.

I always thought of him as one of the pillars of the community, in that he was always around to talk/post about whatever the topic of the day was.

His input will be missed.

 

[CheapNeoGeo]

Rest In Peace. My condolences to his friends and family.

 

[BrooklynSkin]

My condolences go out to Clint's family. He was a real good guy, we didn't always see eye to eye but he was real cool.
I have a fond memory of sending him lots of porn at one of his bids in the hospital. I really wanted to cheer him up.

RIP bro

 

[Nick Goracke]

You know what's crazy about this thread? Every page there's someone saying "he showed me how to set this up, he explained this, he helped me with that..."

How is it that someone who had so little time saw fit to give so much of it away?

*That* is hardcore. *That* is class.

Clint was the kind of guy I'd like to be.

 

[Magnaflux]

Words are inadequate in situations like these. I've talked to Clint for the past 2 years or so in chat and we've met before and had a pretty good time, even tho it wasn't for an extended period of time. I considered him a friend and he was more than 1/2 of the reason I went to Kansas City. He will be missed.

 

[NeoGML]

Oh my god.

Wow. I spoke with him, we had some good conversations.

i sold a game to him. it really sucks that he's gone.

I'm glad that he's no longer suffering, though.

Rest in peace, buddy.

 

[Riv]

I saw this tribute to Clint and wanted to post my condolences to Clint and his friends and family. I knew Clint from #GF_Tavern and he was always in good spirits and laughed with me, at me, all those things. Unlike most people in that channel he was one of the most sincere guys who never really acted like an ass to anybody. It hurt to hear he was gone, and I also wanted to express my condolences. I plan to mention Clint in the newest commentary on JasonRivera.com that should be up in a bit later tonight, but wherever he's gone now, I hope he can see this, because he'll be missed and he will always be remembered.

 

[Charles Franklin Fernandez]

I never had the opportunity nor the priviledge to meet Clint. But after reading this post and the posts that he made. I am able to say that he must have been a great guy and a decent human being, who lived his life at its fullest.

My condolences go out to his family and friends. Yeah, he died at the tender age of 20, and it was way too soon for God to take his life away. But the way I see it, we all come to this World to fullfill a mission that was predestined to us. And God saw that Clint succesfully accomplished his mission and decided to take him into a better place.

I honestly do not know what was his mission, but I guess that part of his mission was when he touched the lives of his family and friends by doing single things like extending a helping hand, being joyful, standing up for what he believed. And most importantly, he showed us that no matter how many problems we have; we should face them with bravery and enjoy live at its fullest.

Clint, I wish that I met you. And I also whish that I am at least half as good as you were. You are in my prayers.

Charles

I know it's lame I keep posting in this thread, cause it's like, the more people that post the better (Not just the same ones again and again-

But I really gotta say Jigen's passing has kinda fucked me up a little bit. I actually woke up at 4:30 this morning (Like early morning insomnia) and, while trying to get back asleep (but wide awake) I kept thinking about the guy.

It just really sucks that he had to go so young, especially when he was such a good, consistant guy- I mean he was here before I was- what is that? 3 years now? I mean, he's right up there with Fran, Master Terry, Shawn, Chimp, Biomotor, LWK, etc.

He's one of the old-timers.

It's wierd, but him passing like this, well, franky- just really fucking sucks, and I'm like, really not OK with it.

Sorry to seem all sappy, but it's just wrong or something.

 

[Muska]

I never knew him, though I would always see him in the chat room everytime I entered. We never really talked nor got allong because I would mention something that was a week old, and he would always say "welcome to last week" or "Welcome to yesterday". I never knew the good side of him. I don't know if we would have made friends but from what all you members have said, he seems like a nice guy. He has my respect now, it is ashamed that it took this to make me respect him, maybe I should have talked to him in the chat room. I hope he was able to see what he wanted.

RIP

Well, I just finished a direct assault on Rez for Clint, and wow did I kick the ass! I finished in Morolian form and beat my own high score, putting JIG instead of my own name. I'll always remember him whenever I fire that game up.

That truly brought a tear to my eye. I too shall play a direct assault on Rez for Clint. I figure this is the least i can do for such a great forum member and person that i never got to meet. Rest in peace my friend, we will meet one day.

 

[samuraiX]

I heard about this while I was on vacation this week, just wish I could have got online sooner. Clint, you are a truely great guy with an outstanding outlook on life. You will be missed dearly this day onto the next.

Take care old friend,
-nate

 

[Tadaima]

I would read most of his posts and always found them wit and humorous. He was also doing a great job in ruining NGF reputation. I didn't know him personnally but I yet I feel sad knowing he passed away. My condoleances.

 

[Tadaima]

I forgot to add that, eventhough some people might have said it before me, I will be very sad not to be able to talk about REZ anymore... I guess I'll always think of Daisuke Jigen when playing my next REZ games...

 

[Linus]

Ciao Daisuke Jigen

RIP, Clint.

Anyone remember the "Jigen Dance?" from the CGE 2002?

I can't remember which member gets the, er, "credit" for it...

 

[adamkilla2003]

so sorry to hear that man..........
R.I.P.........i hope they got NEO GEO in heaven frown

 

[The Legendary LoneWolf]

Sorry to see you go DaisukeJigen, I JUST found out about this. Hopefully you will be happier now

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I didn't really talk to him much on here, but I remember the conversations we had pretty vividly. I remember making fun of his avatar, and saying that I thought it was a retarded japanese woman. Heh... he will be missed. crying

 

[MegaDrive20XX]

I didn't even realize Clint (Jigen) had passed on, since I rarely visit the Neo-Geo.Com homepage and I was on a business trip the day he passed and didn't log on that night. Needless to say, having read about this I'm messed up over it. I didn't know the guy in real life (just in here)... but to me he always had interesting posts, and I enjoyed talking anime and gaming stuff with him enough, that I actually broke down just a little while ago upon learning of his passing. After SNK4Ever (Steve) having passed not to long ago, and myself having almost died in early May (I had a mild stroke/anxiety attack) this just hits me like a depleted Uraniaum FMJ to the heart.

My condolences to Clint's family, the guy was even younger than me, and I'm sure he would have been just as cool in person as he was online, despite all the bickering that often goes on among the members here about this or that. It's times like this that it becomes all to apparent that Life is indeed precious and we should all cherish it no matter what, never taking for granted our selves or the ppl we know and/or are aquainted with. Clint may you rest in peace, and know you leave behind ppl with much respect and love for you.

Sincerely... Michael Ibarra "Shalako" Minter
