My sincere thoughts are with his family. He was too young to die and it's even worse for parents to survive their children.
He will be missed here. |

Anytime we lose someone it lessens the community as a whole. My thoughts to his family.

He will be missed. He was definitely a member of the MobileRead family and we will be diminished with the loss of both his words and presence.

This is really sad. This has been a hard year for Mobileread; we've lost Galen, Patrica, and now Derek. Very disheartening.
