    Hi, as some of you may know a user named draktheas was working on some features for Mediaportal. Although you knew him as draktheas, I knew him as my husband, Jason.

    On August 15th, Jason was killed in a car accident, when a drunk driver crossed 2 lanes of traffic and hit my husband's car head on. It has taken me a while to get myself together enough to post on all the forums and projects that Jason was a part of. Finally this week I decided to dig through all of his accounts and let people know what has happened.

    I want to thank all of you who were a part of my husband's life and all of you who welcomed him into the online communities that he was part of. He found many hours of joy participating in all of these activities and enjoyed even more the contributions he made. He will be greatly missed by me, his four children, and his mother and father.

    Thank you,
    Samantha

    P.S. - If any moderators read this, I would like to keep his username and use it from time to time to check in on the projects he was involved with. Call it a last little bit of connection to man I loved.

    Samantha,

    these are very sad news at the end of the year. Unfortunately I had never personal contact with your husband, but be sure that some of my thoughts and wishes for the new year will be with you and your kids!

    Hi Samantha,

    Thank you for posting to let us know why Draktheas isn't around any more.
    I'm very sorry to hear about the accident.

    Draktheas was working on providing Satelite TV enhancements to this project and was a valued member.

    My most sincere condolences.

    I did not know Draktheas personally, but had been following the discussion of some of his work on these forums.

    Thank you for telling us about this, i know it must be very hard to dig through his accounts.

    Samantha,
    I feel sorry for you and the kids.

    This is a reminder for sure not to drive after drinking even little alcohol...

    my condolences,

    My condolences go out to you, your family, and his parents. Though I didn't know him personally, its always sad when communities like MP loses members who contributed so selflessly.
