all-

John's wife reports on Facebook that John is no longer with us. A long-time friend of his alluded to as much in another post on his wall.

I do not know the particulars any more than that.

I met John several times. A hell of a nice guy, a gentle soul with a keen sense of humor. A newlywed, he will never know the daughter he and his wife have been expecting, and I find that truly heartbreaking.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Just saw the post from his wife. Apparently he had a heart attack this morning.

He and his wife are expecting their first child.

Holy cow, how horrible. [Frown] He had only just gotten married a couple months ago, as well.

I only met John once, back in 2009, but I echo Kent's sentiments above - he was a very sweet and good-natured fellow, and our community will be poorer for his loss.

Rest in peace, John.

May his soul rest in peace.

His wife and soon-to-be-born daughter are in my thoughts and prayers.

I add my condolences. I never met John in person, but his posts here reflected a kind spirit and warm sense of humor. Rest well.

Oh no, this is terrible news. I'm stunned to hear this. I've known John, like a lot of us, for years on LW and also got to meet him in San Diego.

He was a real cool guy with a fun sense of humor. I'm really going to miss him!

And his poor wife and daughter....this is really heart-breaking.

I met John at the big LW meetup in San Diego in '08. He was a really great guy and way too young. How sad that his little girl will never know her daddy.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Hate to hear any of us have gone on. Very sad. I've seen his posts before, he seemed a good guy.
