I also had very little interaction with Deviant but nonetheless it is always very sad to hear of someone passing on. A lifetime of memories and experiences lost forever. Sincerest condolences to his family and close friends who must be grieving with a loss and heartache that never ends. As tygrhkat mentioned his loss diminishes the forum as well. Hopefully he remains immortal in cyberspace.
Requiescat in pace.
