I tend to take life for granted every so often, and I'm sure most do. When I saw this posted on the official WoW forums, I immediately remembered that Ezra was the young man who had one of his wishes come true thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation. He was able to contribute directly to the game he loved to play -- a pastime that allowed him to escape the unfortunate reality that he suffered from a brain tumor -- by not only creating an item for the game, but also a quest and the first to own a Phoenix mount. His character in World of Warcraft was a Tauren Hunter named Ephoenix, on the Norgannon realm.
My heart was literally in my throat after seeing the post; it's deeply saddening to hear, especially for someone so young. All of us at Curse would like to offer our sympathies for this tragic occurrance. Ezra is and will always be in our thoughts, and memories, as someone who had the courage to stand up to illness and continue doing something he enjoyed.
