Steve Addlesee (10 August 1958 - 22 January 2015)
11 years ago
General
Today, Steve Addlesee died in Georgia. Few people know....Even fewer care.
===================
Triadenforcer's journal, January 22nd 2015. 8:30pm.
Learning of Steve's passing left bad taste in mouth, a man with various issues concerning life and furry fandom.
Why are so few of us left active, healthy, and without personality flaws?
Rusty Haller succumbed to diabetes in his bed at a con.
Michael-Scot McMurry died to contaminated water due to Motorola's corruption.
John Patrick Morgan, creator of Fission Chicken, died of heart bypass and diabetes.
Jim Hardiman, also claimed by diabetes
Mitch Beiro sentenced to 10 years for pedophilia in Arizona.
Even Kate Worley, wife of Reed Waller and co-creator of Omaha The Cat Dancer. Proficient writer even by non-furry stands, must read more of her work.
Only one name remains on my list. Lives in Toronto Canada.
I shall send him a message.
I shall tell the progenitor of Furry fandom that death plans to claim him.

Whats left is what we feel before we died, and how people remember us.
I heard Addlesee was a very polarizing man, and known by the old guard of the fandom. Hell, of many fandoms. I'm new, I never knew him personally, never felt compelled to look up his work or engage in chats with him. Especially seeing how easy you could become his enemy.
But still, with any of the old folks dying, the fandom looses something.
