As you all have probably heard, Dragoneer AKA the owner and one of the founders of FA has died after a brief battle with an as of yet unknown illness. This news has sent shockwaves throughout the furry fandom and understandably so, his death was sudden and unexpected.

I will be honest and say that I had some personal issues with the man, I did not agree with some of the policies he enacted for the site and some of the company he kept was questionable at best. All of that said, I can put my feelings of him to the side knowing that his passing was needlessly tragic. He was struggling with the US Healthcare system, trying to find some sort of diagnosis to the affliction he was suffering from all while the doctors and hospitals he went to were bleeding him dry financially.

Needless to say, he will be dearly missed. His impact on the furry community and the internet at large cannot be understated, and I send my sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace and may he find happiness in the next life.
