RIP sekio

I don't know why I didn't see this until now. I wondered what happened to him. I feared the worst, and this thread confirmed it.

Evert and I had a lot of private communication in 2023 and 2024 after his accident. He lived not too far from me and tapped my health care network and my knowledge for ideas. His care situation was abysmal and the system really failed him. He lamented this a lot, but tried to stay hopeful. At one point we were going to meet up to practice organic chemistry together because I needed some remedial help, but then he trailed off.

Somehow I didn't see this RIP thread, I have no idea why. It makes no sense to me. I'm glad to know why I didn't hear from him, but I am extremely sad now to be hit with this delayed news during a time when I am already grieving the loss of another friend recently.

The world is losing a lot of good people right now and it's not necessary. And I don't know that anyone but those who were close to them even notices. Feels like we are in dark times.
 
I had no idea this happened. I've been a member of this site since the early 2000s and he has always been a fixture here as long as I can remember. This is so sad to me and caught me so off-guard. I think about him a lot. I hope he is wherever he wants to belong after life. He is one of my absolute favorite people on this site and will be dearly missed by myself and many others. Heartbreaking.

Let us honour if we can,
The vertical man,
Though we value none,
But the horizontal one
