Know that your spot will be empty in both the park and many hearts. You touched so many people in such a positive way. You will forever be Siggy the big guy with a HUGE heart, in mine. Love you. Goodbye. --Lorissa

There are no words to express how I feel about the passing of such a great and kind man. Sigvaldr was one of the first people that I met when I joined the SCA. He was always incredibly kind and willing to pass on his vast knowledge of all things. - Philip de Greylonde

Sigvald was one of the first people I met when I began playing with Altavia. It's always those 1st few people that you meet that give you the 1st (and usually lasting) impression of the group. How fortunate I was to have Sigvald be among those 1st few people. What a great loss. There really are no words. -- Kiena the BLUE!

I am so saddened by this news I do not know what to say. Sigvaldr was the dearest, sweetest, most giving person I have ever met and he will be missed so much. -- Ysoude

Oh my dear Lord. He leaves a hole in the barony and in our hearts that will be very difficult to fill. -- Selene Colfox

OMG! No! This is soooo sad and such terrible news! Sigvald was a much loved, special, and wonderful human being who will be greatly missed. His passing leaves a giant void in all our hearts. -- ariadne

No matter how long I had been away for practice he always remembered me. I will miss his friendly reception at practice. -- Vires

We are truly going to miss him, Siggy was the first person we met when we came to check out one of the practices. He was extremely welcoming and sweet and from then on we decided to join the group. It's not going to be the same without him at practice, he was always there for everyone rain or shine. -- Ciane, Quatalina and Apollonia

A truly beautiful person. Never passing judgment, just there to motivate you, inspire you, help you and cheer you up. How does one continue his/her beginning in the SCA without his smiles and determination to get you armored and started on field... Just the thought of your absence Sig, becomes so very hard to accept and understand... yet I find temporary comfort in knowing that we shall see you again, only it will be walking among history's true legends, those of Greece, the ancient and mid ages.... -- Andromeda of Greece

Kind and Generous Sigvaldr. I am moved to tears and words escape me. -- Baroness AElfwyn Wodende

Dearest Lord Lord Sigvald, Andy Shuford, he will be so missed. -=-Bridget

Memories

• Leave your memories here.

I'm in a state of shock to hear of Sigvald's passing.

I knew I knew him not 1/10th as well as the rest of the Barony but what I can say is when I autocrated my first Baronial event last year, he showed up obviously ill and feverish, set up the eric, and continued working until he could barely stand and only when the event was left in the capable hands of the Earl Marshal did he leave.

That is the Sigvald I will remember. A sweet and gentle soul who would not shirk his duty. To quasi quote one of the Star Trek movies, on that day for Sigvald, the needs of the many outweighed the need of the one.

The good always leave us too soon.

I am overcome with sadness for the loss. My last encounter with him was typical of our Siggy, though. He stopped me just before I left fighter practice and said "Excuse me!" and held out his arms. I got a Siggy hug with all the trimmings, and I said "I love you, Siggy, yer the best!".

So I will say it again. We love you, Siggy. Your memory will live on in the hearts of Altavia. Aloha.

Sigvaldr was an amazing man. He was so welcoming, and he had so much to share. When I stumbled into fighter practice, hoping to get out on the field with my bow, with no idea how to get my armour together in time, he helped me and inspired me in so many ways, and I know he's done the same for so many people. He will be greatly missed.
