whoa, not sure what to say.
not like we knew him personally but it does hit a lot closer to home. always loved his work and was genuinely saddened way back when when he got fired from id.
truly one of the greats

That's awful news. I was very fond of Steed and his work at id Software. Sad to hear someone this young had to go.

RIP. He did fantastic low poly modelling work for the Quake series. A fair amount of the tools documentation for the LEM community were written by him.

I just randomly found out I remember how he used to post on polycount.com back in the day, when it was exclusively a Quake site...And I never knew he worked on the Wing Commander games!
