Yours sincerely,
P.S.
Losing someone is never easy especially at such a young age. I am really sorry for your loss. At times like these you have to lean on your faith and try to accept that God has a bigger purpose for us. May all the love that surrounds you give you strength.
So sorry to hear this. I never got to talk with him in game he seemed like a cool person. And his foundry mission was a masterpiece. I never knew he did the ftp trailer, that was pretty awesome too.
Times like this make me pause to think and remember, that we should all treasure each moment we have with friends and family cause life is uncertain and we never know what tomorrow will bring.
Thank you Mark, for your contributions to the awesomeness of this game. You will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to his family, friends, and the Cryptic team.
What can you say.... i remember the various podcasts he guest'd on, he was always one to laugh and genuinely loved what he did. My heart felt condolences go out to his family, friends and work colleges. Where ever you may be mark... boldly go where you have never gone before!
My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the PWE staff. His body of work lives on as a testamant of his creativity and skill. He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, good sir.
May his eternal soul find rest among the stars and may his family find the strength to continue without him no matter how hard it is Keep the good memories of him then he will live as long as you keep those memories alive!

Hey Branflakes, I would like to be so bold as to suggest perhaps a Valentine class ship in his honor or at the very least renaming one of the npc ships in game U.S.S. Valentine.
Just a thought. but it might make for a fitting tribute. (if cbs ok's it)

other mmorpgs have such memorials and they remain a touching part even years after the release of those games and when people come across them do research to each of them to find why are there in-game with not a visible purpose i talk of personal experience it rly is a matter of a greatest honor and respect to those witch pass away

I second that motion, naming a ship class after him is the ultimate honor in trek.
The f2p trailer got me into this game, he'll be sadly missed
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

I fully agree with this. As a Lifetime member, it has be a honor to be part of the STO family. The next ship I get will be named after him. I second the motion of a Valentine class starship or at least a USS Valentine.
Anyone in this post that agrees with this please let your voice be heard and we can prevail in this matter of remembering a wonderful and amazing person

I will not let the childish acts of a criminal ruin this game for me.

I came into the site today to see if anything new was going on, and I find out that Mr. Valentine had passed. I am truly speechless, all I can say is, that I'll miss you, it was an honor to be part of a universe that you put your heart and soul into, and as all things must come to pass, there will always be a void where you once were.
Rest in Peace.

It saddens me greatly to see such a great man go. While the art of this game was not entirely his, he still did much. And from him came a game whose visual brilliance has always been a defining feature. As well, the game's trailers and cutscenes have been brilliant, stunning, and thrilling. It is misery to know that this man is gone. I regret not knowing him, but I will miss him nonetheless. May he rest in peace, and may his soul fly amongst the stars.

It's a shame he is gone so soon. I loved that mission and that trailer is the inspiration for me in an RP I am doing somewhere else.
"Second star to the right. Straight on till morning..." Happy trails dude. Someone needs to seriously pick up where he left off on that mission series.

You guys should canonize his mission by making it an official in game mission with a special reward. Maybe a Doff with last name Valentine.

Now lets see a plaque in game for him. It's the least that can be done.
