I'm not sure how many people here are familiar with Vengeance, as he has not posted on this site in a number of months. Joseph "Vengeance" Rupe has passed away at the age of 42.

I have seen that moniker on many forums and sites, but I dont suppose they are all the same person. Forgive me, but I shall search for his posts.

R.I.P.
One of the not so cheerful things about being part of such a large community as DH is that sooner or later someone will pass away.

Happy gaming where you are going Joseph.

That's sad, my condolences to his wife and children.

I'm still a little curious about the name...Has he been a former DH Mod ?

Andrew275 · Apr 25, 2008, 02:28 PM

I don't think so, but he was a supermod on Rage3D.

Then it must be a name from the past and nothing more than that... That is certainly no age to pass by on..

His name does sound very familiar to me as well. Not the nickname, his real name.

Falstaff · Apr 25, 2008, 04:24 PM

we are all anonymous until we die eh? Nothing like a dose of mortality to round off the weekend. I remember being 42 and I was just getting over my third wife and God knows how many other issues. I pray his passing was something he prepared for, and if not may he have been blessed by the Holy Spirit and his soul finds peace.

I remember him from when I used to frequent rage3d. rip vengeance.
