I have been hit with some sadness that i think is only fair to share because i know for some it will be a shock, it certainly is for me.

Bowjr or john as i knew him has, is and will remain a legend. By far the best ever HF player ever. I think anyone who has played HF would agree. A legend!!!

I knew John for a long time right back to when he was kid and i obviously know his dad (terry) snr both bad boys (insperable) and both friends, back then in aok at one point i considered them noobs lol. I was wrong obviously.

Kind of amazing i heard about it while watching a hf game.

John sadly passed away last year and im only finding out about it now so i think its important to share and remember. John and Terry both had a love for cars, i remember at times them talking about it and me not having a clue lol.

For those that wanna know:

Always fast and theres a reason he was #1 at hf. Respect totally!!!

I know right now we are all in an uncertain times and yes we will come across others, however i think its right when we show that respect.

A Legend

Always and will remain in my heart, I want to wish john and terry and all the family all my prayers.

I will be doing a HF tourney in respect to Bow (john) i will let u know soon. For now feel free to pay your respect and off course share any experiences you had.

RIP John

RIP bowjr.. thanks for your mentoring, your humor and those dodgy photos you used to send me on facebook after a few beers. You were a legend in aok.. particularly Herofest.. and then the legend continued into aoc. I hope you've organized a HF tourney up there and you've managed to teach Jesus how to push with bbts and jans.

Some fond memories include never seeing you lose your villagers in a HF game and starting sX clan with you, BowSr and Homie.. a pack of sexy Xperts.
To the man with the quickest HF build.. and the quickest laps around the track.. Rest in Peace, get those castles up quick.

I only vaguely remember the man but was well aware of his reputation.

The second legendary John we have lost. RIP.

Wow that sucks

I remember playing with him on zone and then when he came back a few times throughout IGZ and vetev eras. RIP

RIP bowjr, sad times..

The best herofest and mix blood player I've seen, also sent me some of the dodgiest pictures I've seen. Rip

That's a big shame. I had the pleasure of knowing him for 1-2 years in igz in RIP/IS_ clans. In my head,#1 HF player of all time but more importantly a cool guy.

RIP

wow that sucks, rip


but idk if this is another guy called John? i've heard about a John that died long time ago already but idk if it's the same guy

Snowz from vicious is who you heard about.

RIP my friend, great matches we had in AoK playing many different obscure maps. Always competitive and a pleasure to play against, I will say a prayer for your family.

Oh my god this really is bad news for me and for the age and for the HF without a doubt the best player vs the one that I have played in my entire life in HF that in peace rest my great friend and enemy in HF without a doubt you left your mark playing those 1v1 vs me see you soon friend

I got speaking to his dad the other night on fb. He sent me a few things:

Great video they put together

God Bless and rest in peace

RIP Mr.Nascar , huge condolences to his family ,friends and team.

Rest easy legend ...

I never post or read forum anymore but was sent this link and more than deserves it.

Some may or may not know but i was known as bow in aok rated rooms for many years before coming to aoc. Bow Jnr/snr got to aoc first though and so i changed my name from Bow, after some light hearted jokes, as was getting confused as them. took me a few years to forgive the two of them as liked that name! bow was a cool guy and snr if you ever read this, sorry for your loss, your boy was known and liked around the World.

hope you still burning rubber Bow where ever you are (i dont think i ever actually called you Bow before as wouldnt admit you owned the name, but its yours)

Cheers,
Greg (a.k.a 3rd in line to the Bow name)
