Rest in peace, Denis 'FAME' Petrenko

By fykseN mapperrecord holder Tournament #1·
Dear community,

As many of you already know now, we suffered a serious loss.
Denis 'FAME' Petrenko, passed away between the 27th and 28th of April, at the age of 28...
Denis was a true pillar of many communities. We will remember him as helpful, kind and hard working person.
A friend, an authority. An exceptional player, the well of knowledge. Someone who never gave an incomplete answer to your questions. As his friend "allejack" pointed out, FAME always had a lot of passion for our community, and that he wanted to help us grow. This tragic situation brought us all back together, and together we mourn...

Let the earth be light to you. We loved you. Rest in peace, Denis.

Deeply yours,
XJ

Tragic loss. Rest in peace FAME

08/05/2019 07:34:00

rest in peace... :( u will never be forgotten <3

08/05/2019 07:34:00

I didn't know him for that long but I always enjoyed talking with him and we shared some funny stories and had long talks about hundreds of different topics. He was always there if you had some questions or ideas and no one can fill that hole for me... He was just such a nice and humble person who enjoyed long talks and discussions and what a great mind he had... I will miss you forever Denis.

08/05/2019 07:35:00

I feel sick to my stomach. RIP Denis. I'm so sorry for you and your loved ones..

Really sad news, hope you are resting in heaven! Thanks for your efforts and kind behaviour! <3

08/05/2019 08:18:00

Rest in peace Denis... :(

08/05/2019 08:24:00

Rest in peace. A true legend. You will be missed.

08/05/2019 08:53:00

I heard him name FAME many times and always in situations that made him a kind and honest person. One of the situations was when Matelala told me that FAME went through the demos that were supposedly chit-a-thon and being a farce from another mediocre administrator I take the ban off at cozy.climbing. I feel very much for you the community of xj and cc for the loss you have had. I remember the loss we had in Next-Version with our colleague Fatboy in 2015 which made us weep for many ... I share your grief and that in these people rested rest that have been so great for everyone.

08/05/2019 08:56:00

I can't believe this... He was always a respectful person and did his job exceptionally well. I don't think the modern age kreedz community had any harder working demo checker (not to disrespect the other admins). It's crazy what life can bring you, i hope you are on a better place now. Fuck, i got teary typing this post. Rest in peace, ex-teammate, a legend... See you on the other side, dude.. :(

08/05/2019 09:10:00

Nothing is permanent in life?rest in peace

08/05/2019 09:16:00

I just woke up and saw this news ... tbh, i cant believe this ... Rest in peace Denis, you'll be missed :(

08/05/2019 09:19:00

Rest in peace Denis

08/05/2019 09:21:00

Rest in peace, you won't be forgotten

08/05/2019 10:16:00

RiP. I hope XJ as well as his family and friends can recover from this tragic loss.

08/05/2019 10:23:00

my condolences

08/05/2019 10:37:00

What a shame. A pillar of this community has died. Being loved, missed and mourned by several hundred people with 28 is self-descriptive of how accomplished this man was at such a young age. I hope his loved ones are proud of him and his lifework - they definitely should be. I have mad respect for him, always seemed professional and respectful. Let us mourn, remember the good times and thank him internally for his commitment and long years of hard work :) Rest in Peace

08/05/2019 10:53:00

Even if we did not agree on some points and sometimes I was hard to you, I will miss you... Rest easy friend.

08/05/2019 11:03:00

At first look, i thought FAME was very selfish and rude person, but as the time was going and i was chatting more with him, i could not find any negative feeling or hateful, it ended up he was being very calm and cool guy, aswell very very smart, whenever i had a question about KZ he was there to answer it, or atleast try untill i understand, this is a big loss for XJ community, and a world itself, Denis "FAME" Petrenko, u will be missed, Rest in Peace.

08/05/2019 11:26:00

This sucks hard :( he was always there to help all the time when it comes to XJ, always easy to talk to, always open to discussions.. very cool and helpful friend :( i will miss him... very sad... rest in peace !

08/05/2019 11:34:00

Ive never talked to him but i was always watching over his actions here.To be honest im a bit surprised how sad i felt when i saw the news, which is positive and shows how hard he worked.I have this strange, tight bad feeling in your stomach.Rest in peace, fame.Really heartbreaking news.

08/05/2019 11:38:00

i have a feeling like i chatted yesterday with him and suddenly i cant do that anymore... fame you were the person with the most knowlage about kreedz...like sitka said you were a little introvert person, didnt want to get in conversation everywhere, but you were really humble and nice guy to talk to...to be honest i also remember we had some conflicts 2-3 years ago, but after the steam chat i was happy that you forgave me for my bad behavoir back then, and i completly changed my opinion about you, obvious in a positive way, and we started talking about some mature, invation things with plugins, coding ect...just like our last chat in 20/4/19 i had the feeling that you were like my teacher about scripting...its really sad that you are gone, but we all will remember you. thanks for your dedication for this community, for your 'defending' us like your friend told us you did, we will never forget it. i never did a writting and dropping a tear, but i dont regret cuz it was for you. rest in peace Denis <3

08/05/2019 11:45:00

Rest in peace legend...

08/05/2019 12:05:00

When i first started to have long conversations about this game with FAME i understood how good this guy was in every aspect of this game.. He had deep game, coding, scripting knowledge as nobody else i know. I was really surprised damn he was a god in my eyes with all this knowledges. I’ve asked him hey why you didn’t show them how good you are how much did you know he told me because i don’t want them to know how good am I.. what a professional. Every time i see someone doubting his opinion i’m smiling and i know i just know that theres no way for fame to talk nonsense. I was struggling to be good as him in demochecking but i failed he was always better and i will never be close to his GOD level. rip FAME God!

08/05/2019 12:12:00

It really feels like I've lost someone really close to me, like if we were friends irl, even though I've never been "close" with him. We kind of grew in the same fucking yard, having common friends and interests. I've never spoken that out but FAME always differed in my eyes. I don't do small talks but FAME was a man of honor. I don't know why but I still really don't believe in this. Pardon my mistrust, XJ, but is there anything more to the evidence than a talk to this guy? So far all I've seen besides the conversation with this guy is the fact that he never appeared online on social networks, steam, XJ during last week?

08/05/2019 12:34:00

I'm speechless, cant believe that... I've never had such contact with him, just a few words, but he used to help EVERY single person on this community. It feels like I lost someone really close. Wish light for the family and friends.. Rest in Peace bro.

08/05/2019 13:00:00

oh FAME .. cmooon,, he was amazing admin ... Everytime he helped me and i will remember him with only GOOD ! Rest in Peace :(

08/05/2019 13:14:00

It's hard to add something that has not been already written here. He and his amazing work done in this community will be always remembered. He was a real encyclopedia of knowledge about this game. Rest in peace.

08/05/2019 13:24:00

When I was joined the XJ in 2016,I made account with wrong name and first admin who I was noticed is FAME, so I asked him for help,and really after few hours he changed my nickname as you all see my right now. After that any help what i was needed, FAME was there always to help me in any situation. He also told me that maps cannot be accepted if they are not good quality and if they are too simple like longjumps run etc. Also I must to praise his jumping skills, especially CJ 270 World Record who gonna be CJ WR for long time. Now brother,you are not living with us but you will in our hearts forever. Rest in peace brother !!

08/05/2019 13:29:00

We'll always remember you fame, loved working with you. RIP

08/05/2019 13:36:00

omg i cant believe it... RIP FAME. but what happened ? some accident or disease ?

08/05/2019 13:40:00

Wow, this so unexpected! Tragic news. He was always cool and helped me out. How did this happen? Rest in peace FAME

08/05/2019 13:49:00

rip

08/05/2019 13:55:00

heard this about other player that died: "a true gamer never dies, only respawns in another place" and fame was what we call a true gamer, never spoke a lot with him but when i did he was always kind and helpful. gg fame, we will meet sooner or later, till then, RIP.

08/05/2019 13:58:00

Big loss for our community. Rest in peace, FAME.

08/05/2019 14:42:00

fucking hell man... rest in peace. i'm sure you didn't deserve it...

08/05/2019 15:00:00

Rest in peace Denis. I hope you're in a better place now.

Rest in Peace, FAME..

08/05/2019 15:45:00

Oh man! A great light from this universe of stars called kreedz has gone out today. I can not mention anyone who has made larger and more committed contributions than FAME. Always willing to help and giving the best of himself. I hope that his family and friends know what he was doing here and can see that his work is and will always be appreciated by many people. Life is sometimes very unfair, but I hope he is resting in peace. Good bye [user]FAME[/user]! thank you so much and sorry for so little

08/05/2019 17:41:00

My deepest condolences.

10/05/2019 04:40:00

I wish someone didn't tell me about this. Good friend. We helped each other while I was an admin on this site (me helping him with his news writings, and him helping me with website stuff etc). Always seemed like a great guy & easy to chat with. He opened up my eyes to some privileged information about this game & community that I'll forever be grateful for. A literal staple of this community, torn from us forever and it is so tragic. He'll be missed by many for sure. FAME, may you rest eternally peaceful big guy. -Fantasm

11/05/2019 14:23:00

It is very sad to hear this news. FAME was always one of the nicest people in the scene and the passion he had in his hard work for KZ and XJ can never be forgotten. For such an incredible person to pass away at such a young age is a tragedy. My condolences to his family.

11/05/2019 15:30:00

sad news... R.I.P Fame he was best admin

12/05/2019 00:02:00

Rest in peace my friend. I'll always remember FAME as one of the hard working and most caring admin during my days in XJ. We worked closely together for quite some time and you made me realize everything is not as it seems like at first glance. Saddened to see you pass away after all these years.

12/05/2019 06:34:00

Rest in peace:(

12/05/2019 20:40:00

18/05/2019 20:23:00

This hurst, he teached me all the demo checking process back in the days. A true inspiration as a player, a real legend! This community and kreedz game will never forget you! RIP FAME

28/05/2019 01:10:00

Definitely one of the people I admired the most from XJ... When he wrote these ingenious analyses and proofs about VNS cheating, the majority didn't believe and understand him, but it was obvious to anyone with a brain the he was not only right, but an extremely intelligent person as well When I asked him to check demo legality by a player for our local "milf kz" server purposes, he did it very thoroughly. When I asked about my bhop problems, he analyzed my bhops to detail and explained to me what I did wrong. He did these two favors for me - a random person from XJ he didn't even know. That just shows how great a human being he was RIP FAME. Thank you for your help. I promise I will never forget you

05/06/2019 01:10:00

I wish you all the best ... Rest in peace champion! :(

18/06/2019 00:19:00

This is so sad, 8 years of friendship with you, so hard to see you go this way, thank you for everything you taught me and for all the chats and laughs, I wouldn't have done a good job when I was an admin in cosy/xj if it wasn't because of you, I will miss you buddy, see you in the next life <3

25/06/2019 23:49:00

I found out about this today as I was watching some kz vids on youtube, and the LJ tribute video appeared in my "recommended" side. This is sad. Rest in peace....

01/07/2019 10:50:00

Rest in peace :(
