RIP Brad McQuaid
 

Per their facebook page. Wow. No more Pantheon?

Really hope it was from natural causes.

Regardless, he undoubtedly had a profound impact on all of us on this board. Thank you for the good times, Brad. Rest in Peace.

Here's a post from someone, who I believe is a Visionary Realms employee, confirming:

It is with deep regret and profound sadness that we share that Brad McQuaid, Chief Creative Officer of Visionary Realms passed away in his home last night.

Brad was a visionary, a mentor, an artist, a trailblazer, a friend, a husband, a father. He touched thousands of lives with his dreams and concepts. He changed the landscape of video games forever. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered in life and in Pantheon.

Thank you, Brad, for bringing us together through your worlds. Rest in peace, Aradune.

All of us at Visionary Realms offer our deepest condolences to Brad’s family and during this most difficult time, we kindly ask that you respect the privacy of Brad’s family.

Ouch...

This is really sad news. RIP Brad. Thank you and the original team at Verant for what you've given us.

Can't believe it!

RIP so sad =(
