It is with a heavy heart that I inform the community that our beloved Beardtongue has moved on to the next place on December 15th, 2022 after fighting COVID-19. His battles began back in 2021 after he was diagnosed with Dementia and had been hospitalized since then. He was a tremendous member of our community and one of the only Laoch ranked members among our membership. He will be missed dearly.

From the September 2021 Newsletter 

It was brought to my attention earlier this month that our fan-favorite Guild Wars 2 player Beardtounge has been diagnosed with Dementia.

A dear friend of his wrote:

He is at Renown Regional Medical Hospital in Reno, Az the last I heard and what looks to be Dementia. He recognized me but did not have a clue where he was. It's so sad because he had an IQ of 160 in High school...!

It's truly not the way to go for someone who had all the guild wars spirit. I bought him a piggy at the gift shop and gave it to him. He loved pigs more than anything else. ... he will be transferred to a VA facility under the guardianship of Reno, AZ

Tears and friends have come to this end. This is a pic of the last time we gamed together.

Beardtounge was a huge part in helping put together legendaries for the Great Tyrian Adventures. He also was a big supporter of our community and helped out any way he could. He is one of the few Laoch rank members we have and has been playing alongside us since August 17, 2012. He wracked up almost 1 million vault credits by donating things to the family to help with our community events and guild hall upgrades. His presence will be missed. We can only hope his remaining time on earth is filled with some kind of joy.

You can view Beardtounge's profile for more information.

He will truly be missed. I loved how he was always sending me stuff to help with building legendaries for the Great Tyrian Adventure.

I'm very sad, Beardtongue was very fun to play with, he was a nice person, and I'll forever remember and cherish our time together in Guild Wars 2.

Beardtongue was so amazingly knowledgeable in all things GW2. He especially kept me strait when I left the Mists and found myself lost trying to do public events in the open world, a true mistake indeed. He was just... always there ya know? No matter what content we were doing.

I never could get him to adopt one of our "synergised" Fight group builds or classes needs for WvW. He would always show up in his zerker staff ele build. It got to the point that I would literally make calls to him specifically and position a fight around knowing I had a Billy Meteor shower coming from a nearby wall or cliff. Then we would DIE from all the retaliation buffs on the enemy players!!! AHAHA it was the best!!! but you better believe they died too! We'd pick him up, dust him off, and go looking for more bags! It was the best. Every time he was still standing at the end of a fight I would use him as an example to all other backline. "If Billy with is 12k HP, dress wearing ele lived then you should too! Be like Billy backline!!!" Here is a video of a night we all got to "Be like Billy". They did a balance patch and broke Meteor's scaling. So of course we all rolled zerker eles and went and went and hunted our friends and rivals [DUSK]. I like to think this was probably Billy's favorite night lol. Here's another typical Billy... he would never stack with us cause he knew my tag meant certain death lol.

He will certainly be missed. I hope he found peace and a much deserved rest.

I'll see ya in the Mists Billy Beardtongue.
