WoW Make-a-Wish Visitor Passes Away

In 2007, the Make-a-Wish Foundation granted the earnest wish of a dying child. Ezra Chatterton wanted to visit Blizzard and complete a personal World of Warcraft quest. Everyone was touched by this boy's courage. Today Blizzard announced that Ezra has passed away. Read the official word:

Early last week, we received word that Ezra Chatterton had passed away. For those of you unfamiliar with this courageous young man, Ezra visited Blizzard Entertainment in 2007 through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, armed with the desire to design and implement his own quest in World of Warcraft. To this day, we remain inspired by the creativity, intelligence, and passion he displayed during his visit. We were extremely fortunate to have had a chance to get to know and work with Ezra, and our sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Strength and honor, Ezra.

Godspeed, Ezra, and heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the family who grieves for you.

Ya and some total douchenozel has been saying smack about Blizz posting the kids story on their website. I remember the original story of Ezra's visit and I thought it was awesome. I had a friend growing up that had gotten a similar wish granted by some division of Nintendo, they didn't live long enough to see the wish fufilled I am glad Ezra did. So to any body who thinks this story doesn't matter, They should only pray they or their family or friends are never inflicted with anything like what some children have to go through.

Thank you Make-A-Wish, Blizz and Ezra and I hope things are better wherever the ether has taken you.

I don't suppose it occurs to people like that schmuck that the folks at Blizzard are profoundly saddened by this child's passing?
