I met Oliver nearly 20 years ago online on a PC enthusiast forum, where we quickly got on and started playing games online with a small group quite regularly.
Eventually, our lives went separate directions, and we never really kept in touch after that, but we were friends on Facebook, and I always enjoyed seeing the pictures of his cars and track days. To hear of his passing was devastating to me.
Nearly 20 years on and I can still hear Oliver's voice and laugh through the low quality voice chat apps there were back then.
Thank you Oliver, for the laughs we shared, the good times on Battlefield 2, and for the advice you gave me that one time on cooling my PCs motherboard.
My thoughts are with Oliver's family and friends.
