I still miss you, my old friend 😡

I'm very sad to hear this, he was a great guy. Rest in peace zunnie

I can't say that I ever knew him personally, but I do remember being in admiration of his contributions to the wider Renegade community back when I was active a few years ago. I played in other communities but I knew that Zunnie's work benefitted far more than just MPF, and to hear that such a staple of the community of the game I love has passed on at such a young age really is a sad shame. Reading through this post, it's clear to see how loved he was within MPF. I was nearly brought to tears when I heard that someone had placed a copy of Renegade alongside him - a touching tribute and one that is thoroughly deserved. Apologies for the belated condolences, but I offer them wholeheartedly nonetheless. RIP Zunnie.

I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to come here and pay my respects to someone who has helped shaped this community, Renegade and it's modding communities as a whole, not to mention inspired so many people to join in with their passion. I remember Zunnie from the Renegade days and then later for Red Alert: A Path Beyond, with co-op servers being amazing and something new and exciting to play! As much as our communities broke apart and we never saw eye to eye, I at least respected how much he actually spent working on W3D projects and how he had such a passion and drive to do the best he could and create something fun for as many people to enjoy! I had so many amazing games with many others when TCW came out, the amount of extra work that went into the functionality and content to make it as enjoyable as it was, was simply amazing. I heard that people from the community attended his funeral, told his family what he had achieved here and more. I'm glad that they got to hear about the side of him that they might not of known about, or if they did know that well at all. I hope wherever he is, whoever he's getting to help mod or play Renegade with him, that he's resting peacefully and that my thought will be with him. Command & Conquer has lost a great man, someone that'll never be replaced, not even close.

Hi Kees, don’t know if you remember me (soqsharon, mpsharon), I still can’t believe this news, zunnie was a special person who touched so many peoples lives. I remember him (and his coffee machine) from the old days. I must admit I shed a tear when I got the email with h the sad news. I would love to have a game in zunnie’s honour, but wouldn’t know where to start any more. RIP zunnie, I will never forget you.😢 p.s so many names on here that I recognise from the old days, feel free to get in touch, would be great to catch up with some of you again.

Just realised I put this is the wrong place.
