Last night the Dawnbreakers brotherhood and Destiny lost an amazing Titan. Deriss, aka Joshua Foley, was a military vet, Titan master class boss, Dawnbreakers admin, and information guru.
Deriss joined our clan during Destiny beta days on Xbox One and has been a part of our clan ever since. Even when Destiny lost its light we still journeyed as a group of friends across many other awesome worlds until Destiny brought it back.
Deriss you were our clan’s pragmatic leader and resident smart guy but we enjoyed every moment of your life you were willing to share with your brothers. Deriss took his life after facing many battles both inward and outward. If you see a loved one struggling don’t let them fight the darkness alone because we don’t leave fireteam members behind.
Deriss.....Josh, although Destiny brought us together you’re presence and joy helped make us a family. We love you brother. Eyes up, Guardian.

I lost a coworker the same way a few years ago. He, too, was a veteran, a tank pilot, and had been through Bosnia and Afghanistan. I will never forget the day he didn't show up for his shift and the boss called his cell phone, only to get his devastated widow on the other end. I know what you guys are going through, and what his family is going through. It's a terrible thing to lose someone to suicide, and is something that shouldn't been taken lightly. My condolences to all affected.
