Fallen Comrades
This page is dedicated to the members of Clan Outcast who have lost their lives during their membership. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their loved ones. They may have left this plane but their memory will always live on in our hearts.


The following is a salute to Keith McCord a.k.a. =0C=Darxpan, a fellow Clan Outcast Founder and Friend to all who knew him.

From =0C=One Man
"Darxpan was a dear friend to me.  I went into battle under his direction and his planning and I knew that each tactic had been carefully considered.  I am greatly honored to have served with him and to spend part of my life by his side.  My time in Houston, Texas was greatly blessed by spending time with Joe_Cool and Keith at our little "mini-LAN" parties that we would set up at one of our homes.  Keith's powerful presence was clearly evidenced in life as well as in the games he played.  He was an intrepid Christian soldier and I greatly look forward to seeing him again one day.  This humble salute is to you Keith, Darxpan, Friend...we love and miss you."

From =0C=Joe Cool
Darxpan was my best friend, and not just because he got me hooked on gaming. I introduced him to Battlefield and he instantly took to it. He even became a Metal Marine before me even though I had already been playing on their server for a couple of months before him. He loved gaming, figuring out the best tactics and strategies for the world that was set before him. That’s how he approached this world as well. Once he decided on a course of action, he would see it through. If it didn’t go so well, he would learn from his mistakes. That’s what made him such a tough competitor and fierce ally and friend. He was solid. He will be missed. Much of my passion for gaming left this earth with him.
 

Quote for Darxpan's Forum Signature:  "Fight without anger.  Kill without hate."

Joe_Cool has always been good at creating quickly edited images that give us all a good laugh.  This image dates from the Clan Outcast Battlefield Vietnam days before Point of Existence was even a concept.  Above from left to right:  Darxpan, Joe_Cool, & One Man

Here Keith poses with his loving wife and newborn son, Lincoln.
Even in the short amount of time Keith had he made every effort to be a loving father and husband.  Here Darxpan is getting Darxpan Jr. started in gaming early.  With this kind of start we know that Lincoln will be a superb gamer one of these days!

God took Keith home last night a little before 8. His parents and I were at his side. Though I miss him so much already, I know that he is loving his new home. Keith will NEVER have to deal with cancer again. He won't have to hurt. He won't have to endure chemo and radiation treatments. For that I am very grateful!

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
