Derek Kener (aka Easy_Target)
01/05/1991 - 11/15/2014

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of his birth.
Nor what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with words of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away?
-Anonymous


On Saturday morning the 15th of November, 2014, at 7:49am, Derek Kener passed away due to severe trama to the brain. His organs were donated per his request, and saved the lives of eight recipients. He will be forever missed by his family and friends, and we will always remember that excited voice and infectious laugh in TeamSpeak. God be with you Easy_Target, and rest in peace.

I love you so much Derek. The pain is beyond comprehension. You will always be my first born little boy. You were taken too soon with such a life to live.

10 years ago I came across {{a-bs}} on cs source and had a few great years of playing with them when I fortunate enough to join the clan. I was 15 yrs old at the time and so I related more with Easy_Target than others. Every now and then I check back to this site to see what's happening and I am saddened to learn about his death. I'm sorry for your lost.

Not what I expected to see when I came back to the site after so long. A-BS is where I started my roots. And will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you Chad.

I remember being one of the youngest with Easy_Target.. I remember we'd pick on people sometimes for fun... We used to play a lot, everyday with the clan.. Other times with friends like flying sushi, lil beefy and Fuzzylumpkins just trolling and joking the entire time with no care because we were all kids having fun..

When James (aka Kakashi) passed away, I was devastated because we'd talked to him a few days before... At the time I just didn't understand how that could happen so randomly... Needless to say, that's when I stopped playing.. Now after all this time, I wanted to check up and see how everyone was only to see this sad news..

Derek was a good kid when I knew him, and easily one of my favorite people to game with in A-BS... This clan was where I first started gaming and having friends, and Easy_Target was on of the best! My thoughts and prayers to you and your family Techgunner.

Thank you so much PsYcHoDaD. I remember the great times we had 11 years ago. They go by too quick. I appreciate your condolences and compassionate words. It means a lot to me knowing Derek is missed by the gaming community as much as he is missed in my heart.
