I have only just learned that my friend Skyder left us the day before yesterday. He was a local dragon, an artist and photographer and I saw him at many fur meets. I won't claim that I knew him as deeply as a number of my other friends did, but I can honestly only say good things about him.

He was around my age, only late twenties, and cancer took him young. Skyder was really encouraging to me as I wanted to be an artist. He even gave me a bunch of art educational material, so when I'm next ready to get back into art, I will think of him.

Even as Skyder's condition deteriorated, he had a wonderful girlfriend, Pye, who clearly loved him very much. I'm so glad that he had her. I know he had very supportive family and friends there for him the whole time. The tributes I've seen from other friends have been nothing but warm and positive, so I'll add mine too.

Thank you for the drawing in my book. I'm glad to have this to remember you by too.

Rest in peace, Skyder. You'll be missed.
