It is with a very heavy heart that I inform the AH community that Jeff "WWhiskey" Favor passed away today.
I met Jeff when I started to play the game in 2008. He was with the VF15 Satan's Playmates. He was one my mentors in this game and I have come to know and love the man and looked to him like a Brother.
We went on together to form the Inglorious Bastards that led to the stepping stone to the creation of G3-MF.
He was always fun to hang around and learn from. He had this giggle like nobody I know. Always the same whether he was being polite or laughing his bellybutton off. The tone never changed. One night we were bored and tooling around. He was in a Panther doing his GV thing and I was harassing tanks in a stortch. A Me262 shows up and tries to pick me off. I kept positioning myself to draw it in and WWhiskey main gunned it. Damnedest shot I ever saw. I about peed my pants from laughing so hard, and he giggled like usual.
From what I know, WWhiskey has been battling heart problems for just over 10 years. I am not for certain what caused his passing and will find out soon. For now, please take the time to post your favorite memories of our dear friend and mentor to so many.
I will try to set up a memorial flight on a date to be determined.
May you rest in Peace my friend until we meet again at Heavan's Gates.

This is sad to hear. WWhiskey was the first one to take some of the mystery out of tanking for me. He was a great member of this community and will be missed.
My condolences to his family and friends.

Always called him "WAh Whiskey" as a friendly joke in the MA - such a nice guy, sad to hear this news. Condolences to family and squadmates/friends.

Sad news. :salute

:salute old friend. Slip I'd have never met Whiskey had I not been given the opportunity to fly with the Guild and that I thank you. Last time I talked to Whiskey we talked about one of the operations for FSO that I drew up and he was commenting on how he was very impressed with how far I'd came. Whiskey was a one of a kind guy who I was fortunate enough to know. I'll never forget gving with Whiskey because the guy was so good at it, but Whiskey was just a nice guy to talk to and run around with.
:salute Whiskey and my you soar with the angels.

I am really sad to hear this. I have spent many of hours GVing along side of him.
RIP :pray
-
I did not know him personally but certainly saw his name pop up in the chat buffer many times over the years. There is a certain level of comfort seeing those familiar names appear year after year. Behind each ID is a unique person and all of us are connected through our experiences in this game together. I'm reading about him, and thinking of his family and those friends who shared a closeness with him.
Rest easy WWhiskey

:salute :pray WWhiskey R.I.P.

Can you miss being killed repeatedly by someone?
:salute
BTW, I think a memorial drive might be more appropriate in this case.
-
My prayers for him and his family. He is now with the best wingmen in the universe. :salute
-
I will be posting a date and time for the memorial flight. I am organizing and discussing with the squad now.
Thank you everyone. I know WWhiskey touched us all. What I do know is in the early 1980s, while serving in Germany in the US Army, he was at an air show that had an accident. He rescued people and suffered from burns and smoke to his lungs. This led to respiratory problems which led to heart problems. WWhiskey was a really big man. Not fat. Big. As Alpha81 put so accurately, "WWhiskey was a Gentle Giant".
More to follow in the coming days for his memorial flight. This will be a mandatory event for G3-MF.
-
WWhiskey was my friend and I told him that several times. I will miss you sir even though our personal interactions were few I knew you well from how you treated everyone here. Thanks for sharing part of your life with myself and my other friends sir, Blue Skies ......
-
On behalf of the v97th Bomb Group and myself we like to send our deepest and sincere condolence's to all of his friends and family. :salute
-
He was truly the spirit of the game :salute
I was thinking we should do a memorial epic tank battle in lieu of the flight? What do y'all think? We could all climb crazy canyons and pick each-other off! How fun would it be to send him off with a 250 tank battle? I say this because he was the one that taught me how to range a tank (never listened well though).
-
Many years ago, instead of doing a Memorial Flight, we did a Memorial FIGHT and all took up the favorite plane of the departed in his honor, the 190A8. I thought doing that was very cool and it was great seeing all the landed A8 kills.
-
Damn sorry to hear this makes me very sad :pray :salute WWhiskey you will be missed man

Sorry to hear about Jeff. I've flown with him many times over the years, he was always a laugh to be around. We would call each other and talk strategy and always figure out how to be better. Shared many personal experiences with each other. After I quit playing we kind of lost contact with each other.

Obviously if you need any help from the trainer corps we'll be happy to help, just let us know when and where. Morf told me about Wwhiskey a few days ago, he'll be sorely missed in the community, he was a great guy.
