One year.. and still miss you alot my friend..

A bit late, and also out of nowhere since this is my first post here in 4-5 years, but I managed to hear about Zunnie passing away. I wanted to come give my condolences, as I have very fond memories of playing and discussing TCW with him. It's a shame to hear about this, he was a very good man.

Rest in peace, Zunnie.

his dedication to helping was randomly recorded by me... Wish i had more moments like this captured cause there was millions more times like this.... 
 
 

Just necro'd my account to give my condolences. Regardless, Zunnie was the one who purchased me a copy of CSGO, from where I met people who I still talk to today and would not be where I am now without them.
I firmly believe he had a vision for things others did not.
I would end on a lighter note, but I cannot seem to find the video of the TCW FunWar that was up for the longest time. Some pretty damn fine memories playing that will all who participated. 

Hi all,
 
We had a very nice service this afternoon, All of the family and lots of friends were there to pay their respect for Jan.
Im glad to read so much of all of you, it means a lot to all of our family!
 
hahah that coffee machine lol yeah it does have a ring to it
That did carry him through many nights playing...almost crosseyed but not giving up to solve any or help any one who needed it.
 
As for the expenses, all is covert. But thank you very much.
Jan has made sure my mom is well taken care of, thats the person he was.
 
My mom is Lien Rolvink, she is also on Facebook.  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004716136785&fref=pb&hc_location=friends_tab
 
I know she would love to hear from you all, she also knows how much  you all ment to Jan, and many have also talked with her while Jan was playing.
The stories you all shared i think would feel like a warm blanket of comfort. She's hurting a lot, as expected and i know it will mean the world to her to hear from you all.
 
I will remain  on MPF in honor of my brother, and all of you here for being the wonderfull friends you have been to him.
As you are his friend, you are mine!
 
If any have questions feel free to ask, or post some for me on my FB https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000511690900
 
Jan is at peace now, i want to thank you all again for the reply's and it has been warming to all of us during these hars days.
 
Take care, thanks for all and have fun!!
 
Best regards,
 
Sander

Without Jan there wouldnt be a Bol.com ..the amount of keyboards/mouse orderd would keep any Shop booming hahaha

Wow... devastated to hear this. Feels so surreal. Rest in peace Zunnie
We will miss you

Man dude, after all the times we had together since APB testing maps and really having fun on those co-op server, to developing. And modded TCW and grew from it, I really learned a lot from you man. Haven't been for you, I would be stuck to where to start coding from. You was the one who was very patient to me by teaching me these C++ codes, and now I have developed that mindset of what each part of codes do. Since I had left TCW for many years, you kept asking me to be back a developer for the game, and now this year, I was back. Now that everything was back to where it was, plus with new features, now you're gone. I waited for you to come back so we can make this mod grow some more, but the bad news came to me. Dam dude, R.I.P man. You'll always be remembered. Especially of how many people you really affected to really join servers to play these modded games and all.

Hello,
 
Im Sander, Jan (zunnie) older brother. If any would like to come to his funeral will be more then welcome.
I know considering distances, many wont be able to. But the thought of all of you wanting to be there and show our brother how much he was loved is very much appriciated and will never be forgotten
 
I hope and pray my brother has found his peace, and sipping some coffee with Gramps.
 
Thank you all for caring, nice words, and support!
It means a lot to us and will help a lot during this terrible period.
 
Keep up the good work on these awesome games and give people smiles and laughter.
 
With respect and best regards,
 
Sander Wessels

Your brother was the one thing every one of us had in common. He was also the one who literally did the most stuff for the gaming communities he was involved in, he was a jack-of-all-trades(tester, coder, owner, social media, helped the newbies regarding games/irc/teamspeak/servers/you name it).
He would spend hours trying to help people, even if you were a regular player. A lot of us were his guinea pigs over the years for trying out new stuff he would do.
Back in 2007/2008 I forget which, he was the drive behind trying to keep C&C: Renegade alive. I had a small part in that regarding collecting maps for him. Him, what he did was put that out there everywhere to be downloaded. Back then there were a lot of places he would get banned from for doing it, but you know your brother better than any of us: when he wants to do something it will get done.
Jan was the heart and soul of a community. If he left a place, it was never the same again.
I apologize if it seems like I am posting in here a lot. I'm just trying to get things rolling so noone ever forgets him and the stuff he's worked on, and their children will be able to play his stuff long after we all give up gaming.
Your bother was the best of us, he was my first friend online back in 2004. He was the one back then(and over the years of bs'ing on irc/teamspeak) who took the time to show me the ropes. I will never forget him.
I hope you and your family find some measure of peace from knowing that Jan touched a lot of lives.

@trunkskgb Thank you very much.
 
I've spend several nights gaming at my brothers during last few years. I've watched him develope, fix probs..with several profanity flying across his desk when fixes either didnt work or didnt do wich he wanted them to
But he kept at it untill they did, when he encountered a issue he couldnt solve no of you were reluctant to help each other and fixed and build the most amazing maps.
 
Again thanks very much!, for bringing Joy into my brothers life.
 
Ill pass along the condolances to the rest of our family.
 
Regards,
 
Sander Wessels

Hi all, I am Sander, Jan's older brother and i just wanted to say that im very gratefull for all the reply's about my brother sudden death. Its been a shock to us , but i also know he spend many hours..days..years with his friends on MPF Mp, RenX and more. I understand that it comes as a shock to you all as well. I know he really loved playing, talking laughing with you all and i want to thank you for all the good times you all shared with him.
 
We dont know what really happend, was it an accident? was it intensional we will never know. All i know is that i love him and will miss him terrible as i can imagine you all will too.
 
Thank you all again for all the good times you shared with him, and filled his life with joy and laughter.
 
As Jan is no more i do hope you all will continue to have fun and share the good times, its hard to look any further but i really think he would have loved to see you all enjoy the game he loved so much.
 
Ty all very much, take care and treasure those you love!!
 
Sincerly,

This is devastating news.. As a former MPF admin and developer I spent a lot of time with zunnie. This community was all spurred by him, MPF would not exist in it's current state if not for him. Even if I've had issues in the past here causing me to depart this place, it all doesn't even matter with my best friend Jan passing. 
 
Even though we never met in real life we spent countless sleepless hours developing some stuff for Renegade and various other games over the 7 years i knew him.... Countless hours talking over TeamSpeak, countless hours getting frustrated cause we couldn't get something to work only to find out that it was something so simple we overlooked.... as I write this I am in tears... I have so many good memories with Jan and it breaks my damn heart to hear this news... I will always cherish the time we had together my friend and I really hope you are at peace

I will always remember you....
Love you Jan..

his dedication to helping was randomly recorded by me... Wish i had more moments like this captured cause there was millions more times like this....
