I found this on the www.playstationmuseum.com front page news.

* A Worthwhile Cause.*
On November 10, 2008 Erick S. Dyke, 41, passed away after a courageous
battle with cancer. Erick was the president and co-founder of Orlando,
Florida based video game company n-Space,
Inc<http://www.playstationmuseum.com/Games/DEVELOPERS/NSPACE.htm>.


Over n-Space's 14-year history Erick served as its president, and together
with his partner Dan O'Leary created numerous hit video game titles,
including Call of Duty (DS), Rugrats (PS and PS2), Star Wars (DS), and Duke
Nukem series (PS1). Erick was also deeply involved in the creation and
marketing of the company's original games, including
Tigershark<http://www.playstationmuseum.com/Games/NTSCUC/SLUS00346>(PS1)
and Geist (Gamecube). n-Space's momentum and success will continue
under Mr. O'Leary's leadership.

Both within the company he loved and the video game industry as a whole,
Erick was an inspiration to all those with whom he worked and touched. He
will be remembered for his courage, vision, creativity, and love of life.
Erick's wife Michelle, parents Michael and Greta Dyke, and his brother
Matthew survive him.

A permanent scholarship fund has been created in his memory at Erick's alma
mater, Michigan Technological University, located in Houghton, Michigan. For
more information, please visit www.mtf.mtu.edu/dykescholarship.  Erick also
requested people visit the websites www.donoharm.us and www.one.org.

 Please consider contributing to the Erick Dyke Scholarship Fund and keep
Erick's family in your prayers.
