Assignment for Mr. Bolas
Mike Brinker, a San Diego based Game Designer and father of two, passed away in his beach home this Saturday, May 22nd, 2072 at 10:00 pm. His daughter remarked at his youthfulness, even in death. “I think that’s the way we will all remember him, even his grandchildren. Full of vivacity. Dad was always an energetic guy.”
Father of two, Mr. Brinker’s wife passed not more than two years ago to this very day. “It’s not easy losing both parents so close to one another, but I think about the impact they had on the world I see two very bright lights winking out.” said his only son. “Dad was the hardest working person I know."
Mr. Brinker’s career path had many different turns and twists, very much relating to his academic life. After finishing his BA in theater in Missouri, he moved out to California to pursue his MFA in Interactive Media. Through a lot of hard work, Mike went on to star in 3 major motion pictures as well as design many interactive titles for his own company that have changed the way game designers think and work for decades to come.
His burial will be held at the same cemetery as his wife’s, just outside of their hometown in St. Louis, MO.

Dude, San Diego's a great place to end up.
You forgot to add:
"Speaking at his funeral will be longtime friend and business partner Michael Steffen, widely regarded as the father of modern interactive entertainment." (!)
Wife from St. Louis, eh? Got someone in mind?!
