When I found out about this horrible tragedy, I figured the least I could do is make a sig. So here it is, if you wanna use it as well.
This is mine, for my dear friend... rest well
Anyone else that's made one, feel free to post it here. This can be a sort of...dedication thread, to him, using his specialty as his monument.
Some people are being jerks and saying that we are just using his death as an opportunity to make sigs.
It is insulting. We are just trying to do something nice.
I know, I saw that, and I wasn't pleased either, but there's nothing we can do about it. As long as you know the reason behind your banner, that's all that matters.Quote:

and i found a poem by Owen and did this!

That poem totally fits, which is kind of scary, in a way, but well done, Garnie :)
i feel that all of us in #eoff are like family and even if we dont know each other very well we should still ban together at this time of loss.
Here is my signature which I have made for tribute to him.
Farewell, Owen Macwere.

I can't believe Owen's really gone. He was one of the many people who inspired me to pursue sigmaking...So what better way than commemorate him than with sigs...
I made this set...

And I also made this banner, in case someone wants to remember him in a more subtle way...

i do believe Owen was one of my first friends here. More than half of my PM inbox are from him :( i still can't get used to the fact that he's gone.
Here are my stuff, a sig, an avy and a wallpaper...

If he saw this, I bet it'd bring tears to his eyes to see how much he's loved :) Thanks everyone, for contributing.
Oh no how did he die :(
R.I.P Owen
Oh my goodness....poor Owen...he was a friend of mine too. I'm not good with sigs i tried but here's something for him to. :cry:
http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...dearfriend.gif
someone said to me yesterday that i was insulting his family for making him that tribute picture but imho i think his family would be touched to see that so many people are taking the time to place tributes in the memory of him.
i think he would have been happy to see that so many people miss him and i would have wanted to the same...
He was a sigmaker. One of the best, this is our way to remember him. I don't really care if others say that we are doing this just to make sigs. Do you care? We are doing this for his memory, like I said some time ago, the sigs are sigmaker's way to reflect life and what we loved, and everyone here loved our dear friend Owen... I know he would agree with me. Don't care about other's opinion, care about the feelings you are reflecting and immortalizing through your sigs.
This sig is a very nice tribute to Owen. However, Owen has always respected the sig restrictions on this site and abided by them. Your sig is way above the height limits *~Celes~*. So out of respect for Owen, please make it to be no more than 250 pixels for the height, including all of the text. Thank you.Quote:

As I said, out of respect for Owen as Owen has always abided by the limits of EoFF. I did not remove the sig. I have just asked that it be resized to what Owen would have done.
Ok...sorry im just a little shaken up by whats happened...i signed in like an hour ago to find out someonei called a friend has died...it makes you a little snappy ya see.
Ah, I wondered about that...thank you, I'll take care of that straight away.Quote:

This thread brings a small warm light to the darkness of my heart...
Look, Leeza, don't use Owen as an excuse, especially at a time like this. Just lighten up on the rules for this, and don't disrespect Owen by using his memory like that. I'm more than sure he wouldn't mind if people had a sig that didn't meet the restrictions in the case of a tribute to those who have passed away, above all a close member of this forum.
Ok guys, settle down, lets not have an argument.. Leeza is just trying to do the right thing..
Actually, you're wrong. If he loved this place and all the people, he would want for everbody to comply with the rules. Leeza did nothing to disrespect Owen.Quote:

Owen was one of my best Internet mates ever. Me and him met on this forum about 8 months ago. I came back, and asked him if he could make me a signature and avatar for my big return to EOFF.
He said he would do it before last Wednesday. So I'm sitting here, wondering why he hadn't made it. How did he die? Is there some thread I can find out.
I remember he told me he was at the hospital about 4 months ago, but he wouldn't tell me why.
How did Owen past away?When did that happen and are there anyone who knows more detail things about it?Please do tell.....
I'm no good and these and my chest is sore and eyes are full. I went through my thread from the start and Owen was the first person to comment on my work. He is also the reason im where im at in terms of sig making and also why im still doing it. i dunno what else to say so ill put up some quotes from him to me. This is more just me remembering him in my own way dont flame please.
he always knew wht i was using in my sigs
I like to take breaks from time to time thts why im sorta unknown. Owen was always first to welcome me back everytime.Quote:

This was a sig that Owen made himself for me and my group "The paladins of light"...the stupid thing is that the quote kinda makes sense now...my hearts with you Owen...
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/7454/martyrfw8.jpg
He also made this one for my group too but he didnt put any text on it because me and Martyr couldnt think of what to put on it at the time...so Owen said to get back to him later when we had decided...:(
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6536/sigcomqw2.jpg
...I'm gonna cry...Wow, it's just so unreal to me...
Tell me about it...:(
Guys, strength... Now we are here, and is our duty to continue on, and try to be better... I know this hurts, but we have to continue fighting in this world
NaroK.... Those words, you just wrote made me cry... made me feel sad.. as of all the sig makers here in the forums.. we all feel the same sadness...Quote:

Last words spoken by Owen when i was just about to give up sig making..Quote:

He said I had a knack for writing and i should never give up. And now he is gone.......so, I write this poem for you, Owen, with a poem inside just so you can see I'm still goin, good man, except i still cant do sigs as good as you :D R.I.P Owen Macwere, you were a great friend and a great critic :D
I watch the moon
Light up as it rises
Its full tonight
My friend
But look its not the sun
My friend
It is you shining brightly
As you look upon us
Rest with God now
Your in a better place
R.I.P Owen Macwere
You still live in our hearts
If someone could make a sig of this please pretty please do it, my photoshop is down and thats the only thing i have.
Once again, R.I.P Owen Macwere we will all miss you........
Last words to me: Don't worry......I'll check out your next poem as soon as its up.........
