CONFIRMED: OC ReMixer Reuben Kee, 23, killed in boating accident (1984-2007)

[sephfire]

Awful news. He'll be missed around here. It's always so tragic to see such a talented person go so young.

[zircon]

Reuben Kee will be deeply missed. I cannot think of what else to say.

[HalcyonSpirit]

... Crud.

Rest in peace, Reuben. I didn't know you, but it doesn't make me any less sad. You'll be missed here at OCR.

[Flare4War]

No doubt, OCR just lost a great community member and an immense piece of talent.

As before mentioned, let us appreciate that he left us with some incredible musical arrangements to be remember through.

His name will never fade.

This song is oddly fitting.

[DarkCecil13]

My condolences go out to Reuben Kee and his family. This is indeed a terrible tragedy. My thoughts are with you

[Shadowe]

I think "Damnit" sums it up.

[HalcyonSpirit]

This song is oddly fitting.

Both in name and in feeling. Agreed wholeheartedly. I'm listening to it now...

[Radiowar]

oh no...this is terrible.

RIP

[anthonium]

Such awesome piano playing by him:

My condolences for his family and friends.

[The Pezman]

Aw, fuck. This is really an interesting feeling. I didn't know Ruben. I didn't even know of him (he didn't seem to be that active in the forums or with recent mixes). But this is really strange. Even those who knew him better than I might have a hard time really understanding what this might mean. All we really know is that we won't be getting any more mixes under his name.

I feel like we need a musical tribute or something, though. Given that that is the nature of this site, it seems a proper way to express our appreciation and feelings on the matter.

[Harmony]

What a tragedy for all five men. I hope Reuben's family knows that he will be remembered and missed not only by his friends, family and teammates, but also by a worldwide community filled with fans of his creativity and talent.

[PriZm]

My condolences to family and friends.

EDIT: Harmony said what I wanted to say with much more eloquence.

[avaris]

This song is oddly fitting.

Diddo...

Thanks for all the music Reuben I truly will be listening to your songs for the rest of my life.

I give my condolences to his family and friends as well as to the other racers. There is nothing more that can be said that already hasn't been said.

[Dhsu]

This is terrible news. He was so young, too...

[jmr]

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Reuben and his fellow racers.

I can't saw that I knew him, but I did enjoy his music.

[Fusion2004]

Fuck.

Rest in peace, Mr. Kee.

[Jam Stunna]

This song is oddly fitting.

Definitely my favorite mix of his.

Rest in Peace, Kee.

[Broken]

Rest in peace all of those who were lost. My prayers go out to the families and friends who are affected by this.

It sounded like this was going to be such a joyus event, too.

[Jaroban]

This is shit.. it always sucks to lose someone at a such a young age.

Perhaps a tribute/collab is in order? I feel like we should do something

[Bigfoot]

Sad

RIP to him and the others.

[Effef]

A great loss indeed.

He was one of the first I listened to when I found this site.

[BlackDragonSoul]

I did not know him at all but my heart goes out to his family and friends.
