Du bist gegangen,
leise, in meinen Armen,
während mein Herz noch
nach deinem Atem suchte.
Ich hielt dich bis zum letzten Augenblick,
blieb bei dir, als dein Weg zu Ende ging,
und wünschte mir so sehr,
die Zeit würde noch einmal stillstehen.
Du hinterlässt eine Stille,
die niemand füllen kann,
ein Loch in meinem Herzen,
so groß wie unsere Liebe.
Und doch bist du überall,
in jedem Gedanken,
in jeder Erinnerung,
in jedem Lied, das leise in mir klingt.
Unsere Liebe endet nicht mit dem Tod,
sie lebt in allem, was wir waren,
in jedem Lächeln, jeder Träne,
in den Spuren unserer gemeinsamen Zeit.
Ich werde dich vermissen,
heute, morgen und an jedem neuen Tag.
Und wenn ich dich auch nicht mehr halten kann,
so werde ich dich doch niemals loslassen.
Für immer dein.
Für immer mein.
Für immer wir.
In Liebe und Erinnerung an Anachron

In Loving Memory of Golpher Gopheller
July 28, 1954 – September 26, 2026

A peaceful memorial for Golpher has been created on Solmara at the request of Yana Dakota, beside the sea, surrounded by flowers, palms, and softly glowing lanterns.

It is a place to remember his kindness, his laughter, and the familiar “Aloha” that brought warmth to so many. A place for everyone who knew him to pause and cherish their own memories.

Everyone is welcome to visit. If you would like to leave a candle, a vase of flowers, or another small tribute, please feel free to place it by the memorial. Or simply sit for a while, listen to the music playing from the rose, and remember him in your own way.

This memorial is dedicated to Golpher and the friendship he shared with so many of us. May it be a place of kindness, peace, and remembrance.

A hui hou, dear Golpher.
Until we meet again.
Yana 🤍

Visit the memorial:

In Loving Memory of Golpher Gopheller

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Golpher Gopheller, a longtime resident of Twiztid Timez Grid and a dear friend to many. Golpher passed away peacefully on September 26, 2026, in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. He was 72 years old.

Born on July 28, 1954, in Tampa, Florida, Golpher was the beloved son of the late Alfred and Bonnie Amedy.

He proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard, dedicating many years to honorable service before retiring. Throughout his career and his life, he carried a deep sense of duty, integrity, and commitment.

Golpher is survived by his loving wife, Shaldyn Amedy; his daughter, Janessa Pierdes; his brother, Mark Amedy; and two cherished grandchildren.

Within Twiztid Timez Grid, Golpher was much more than a resident—he was a treasured friend and an important part of our community. His friendship, kindness, strength, and wonderful presence touched the lives of many. The memories he created with us will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

We are currently planning a memorial service and celebration of Golpher’s life. The date, time, and additional details will be announced within the next few days.

Golpher will be deeply missed and forever loved.

May he rest in peace.

Fun afternoon planned:

I will be traveling with HG Safari today. Our first task will be to STRESS TEST some of the NEW TOYS which will be deployed during our TRIBUTE. At the end of the month WE honor not just Linda Kellie but ALL who contribute meaningfully to our platform.

Experience some "Chaos in the Queue" and possibly blow things up!
Then we go to AMV and explore Cataplexia's MAZE! The fun starts at 12 SLT!

Come join us! Arrive EARLY at HG Safari to get your landmarks: hop://grid.hgsafari.org:58002:HG Safari

Aloha

Words can not express enough how sad/devastated I and all of My Virtual Beach is to hear about the passing of my good friend and grid supporter Golpher Gopheller.

Him and I would talk about Hawaii all the time, I visited Hawaii a few years ago and he told me he would wave to me when my cruise ship set sail. I told him I would wave back. Hawaii was the best trip I have ever been on. He gave me wonderful advice and places to visit.

He would try when he could to make it to one of the Meet and Greets in my grid, he even made to the VB crawl I hosted once.

I remember when we would hang out in lbsa plaza he would have his dinky avatar on. I would make sure to have kitty treats and toys in my pocket.

When its 8:00m pm his time and like i should be in bed my time, he would tell me this. Well time for me to hop off, i have to put my boys to bed. (referring to his pet birds) He would tell me how there doing.

When I knew there was bad weather i would message him making sure he was okay. With all the bad weather lately I hadn't heard from him in awhile or seen him. I didn't know one day it would be our last conversation.

The picture you see is a region he created he was very proud of he would talk about it all the time. I promised him i would visit this region. If anyone gets a chance please visit. Its an amazing region i wish i had on my grid.
hop://hg.hawaiiandreamsgrid.net:26002/Hawaiian Dreams Welcome/125/140/23

I would like to send my condolences to all the grids he was a member of and to all his family and friends.

E hoʻomālielie i ke kaumaha to the family and friends.
He was such a wonderful friend, and I am holding you all close in my heart. May he be at peace.
Mahalo for the beautiful memories we shared. Until we meet again—A hui hou.

There will be stone for him at Virtual Beach Memorial Gardens for all to visit with his picture.
