Hey, it's me Renzo, I just wanted to leave this tribute as someone who have been playing games with you since 2015 and created so many memories and spent countless hours farming and arguing with you. Your real name is Bryan, but I know you as catarm. You hated it, but eventually after a while you didn't mind it. I'm going to miss you brother. even if we didn't talk every day I always knew I could go and talk to you or Jax whenever. I always enjoyed arguing with you because we were so different, you used to get annoyed and say, "You American's and the way you do things are weird and ill always say something around the lines of "Your accent is strong" and we would have a good laugh. yet games always kept us together. I'm sorry I couldn't spend more time with you before you left and even though we met on the internet we did meet in person and ill always cherish that memory of you being the first gamer friend i met in person. I love you man, and I know you're in a better place. Also sending my regards to the family. Be strong. Not only for him, but for the baby and yourselves love you guys.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Bryan. He has been the IT guy for me for around 15 years at Whakatu Marae and Te Piki Oranga. He was always so patient helpful and cheeky. Thoughts to all his family and friends. Arohanui Dianne
