Remembering Our Own: Adam Zakreski

I received the unfortunate news from a player recently that one of our own Insiders, Kazabet on our forums, lost his life last week. He was a Judge from Calgary in Alberta, Canada. He was well-liked by his local community and they are holding an event in his honor. I was sent the details by Adam Hunter.

Brandon (from Calgary's card shop Sentry Box) is overseeing the event, which is taking place at Broken City (a pub where Adam judged and hosted drafts weekly) June 21st at 11am. Brandon posted the event information:

Adam.

I know you've been hearing that name a lot lately.

Well here it is. Adam: The Gathering. It's more than an event. It is all of us, our memorial, our celebration. June 21st at Broken City School of Magic. 11:00 am until into the afternoon and maybe the night. Adam's Family will be out to meet you. All of you. Hear your stories and why he meant something to you. There will be drafts, chaos drafts, mini-mage, all of the things Adam loved about the Game and more, his Family, his Friends.

There will be Karaoke. There will be open mic. There will be food and drink and Love and Memories.

We want all of you to come. We will be accepting donations for his Son Royce, a new Judge program, and Depression and added awareness. Adam's Family has chosen a quiet intimate Funeral.

So Sunday is our day, with his Family, his Stories, his Memories, and his Legacy. We ask that all of you that can make it please be there. It is our farewell (even though to me he will always be there). It is our celebration of his life.

He would want nothing less. Adam: The Gathering.


If you're in the area, stop by. We will be remembering a fun Insider, a thoughtful judge and a great leader in his community.

Doug Linn has been playing Magic since 1996 and has had a keen interest in Legacy and Modern. By keeping up closely with emerging trends in the field, Doug is able to predict what cards to buy and when to sell them for a substantial profit. Since the Eternal market follows a routine boom-bust cycle, the time to buy and sell short-term speculative investments is often a narrow window. Because Eternal cards often spike in value once people know why they are good, it is essential for a trader to be connected to the format to get great buys before anyone else. Outside of Magic, Doug is an attorney in the state of Ohio.  Doug is a founding member of Quiet Speculation, and brings with him a tremendous amount of business savvy.
