Now this one breaks my heart. Ratchet & Clank was a huge part of my childhood and Qwark was up there with Mr Satan as one of the great fake heroes. His role in Up Your Arsenal particularly made that game my favorite of the franchise. RIP Sad

I know right? It's like the laws of the universe said "f*** you in particular"! Dude did not deserve that. May he RIP and my thoughts are with his loved ones.

It hurts losing not only the voice of so many iconic characters but such a huge part of my childhood. To also realize he was dealing with so many ailments at the same time....

RIP Jim Ward. You will be missed.
