Well, this is sad. His work here really made a lot of people happy. Would be good to find out a little more info though.

Haven't said anything as I felt I wasn't close enough to Maximo to comment. But Maximo was one of the first guys to give me positive encouragement on my work. He was a genuinely nice guy and I hope his soul is at peace, RIP Maximo

Like I said on the shoutbox we should make a Maximo day every 15th February for our deceased brother

Good idea, but I think in the more immediate future we should try and complete the save he was doing for VPW2. I realize maybe he had the master save on his computer and all the work is lost, but the textures he was using are still out there in the old games.That would be a great tribute to him, like he had envisioned.

I wanted to make a hi-res version of his Raw vs Nitro arena for my save and a memorial hack, but that's as far as I've gotten.

His save was really shaping up to be good. It's not hard, I used Revenge and WM2K textures and put them in VPW2 as far as two years ago. Just gotta group the wrestlers by skin color to make it easier. The real hard work is in the moveset editing which I think he was doing.

I agree with bluntfello maybe we can create a workspace in secret stuff thread and give pass to respected friends of Maximo to continue his work.Also would be nice to share some quotes/post of his in there as a memorial.

Sigh, depression really isn't funny. Had, and still having a fight with it since 13 years old. It gets worse with stress, now that I am running my own business.

Wished he would have voiced out here so we could help him. RIP Maximo

He did voice out to a few of us, and it makes it 100 times worse.

I too struggle with depression, and this is just terrible. No other word for it but terrible.

Same. I've had depression for 7 years now. It's a struggle for me on a daily basis and the anxiety attacks and constant struggle with my own self I'd horrendous. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I can only pray to god and give thanks for having my daughter in my life for keeping me going.

I've also suffered from depression since my early 20's, so about ten years now. I've been feeling real down lately, mostly to do with my job and some relationships, but I know I can help things get better, just a matter of changing jobs I think. I would never take my own life, it's not that bad for me.

Darn. Didn't know so many of us are having this issue. Mine stemmed from OCD. I'm a perfectionist, and having someone driving me insane (literally) at work when I was 20 didn't help.

Gee...It's been 11 years since then.

I was really interested in his WCW/WWF Wrestlemania: Revenge at the Tokyo Dome project. I can tell a lot of people here will miss him.

This makes me sad. I don't think I ever interacted with him directly, but having struggled with this, it's shocking.

I don't want to think I have a soapbox or anything, but I hope that people remember a little kindness goes a long way, and to try and treat everybody with respect. Sometimes something as simple as a smile can convince somebody not to take their lives.

Show love to all, and live life to it's fullest.

I hope you're at peace now Maximo.

If you or anyone you know is thinking about suicide, there is help, and you do have a purpose.
