So, it is with a truly heavy and breaking heart that I am here to pass on word from his mother who I just got a message from, but my dear friend and proverbial little brother  ceeb passed away yesterday. He had been suffering from poor health for awhile and was recently admitted to the hospital. Over time his kidney's began to fail and he suffered a fatal stroke which took him from us at 5 PM EST yesterday, 8/30/2022.

Ceeb had always felt like a square peg in a round hole and within this fandom he found his calling as a writer. He didn't let many get close to him, but for those of us who did will certainly agree that beneath his rough and grouchy exterior there was a truly sweet caring person who cared deeply for his friends and was proud of his writing that he made his living off of. As with anyone there are many different opinions held about each and everyone of us in this world. I would ask you, my fandom, to use this journal as a place to express your warmest and fondest memories of Ceeb and to continue to cultivate the fandom into the wonderful place that Ceeb found it to be. Take a moment to take stock of the good things you have in your life and be thankful for the blessings you have, no matter how big or how small they are. Appreciate the moments you have with one another be they at the keyboard at your PC, the phone in your hand, or sitting next to one another. Life is not granted, it is not guaranteed, and above all else it is short.

And tonight, please raise a cheer for someone who left us far too soon, who's written word entertained us, and for those of us who were lucky enough to know the real him, inspired us to be who we wanted to be in this crazy, mixed up world!

PS - I will be posting further details as to where you can send condolences, flowers, etc as I get the details.
