Jack Rickard passed away yesterday, of complications due to lung cancer.

Jack saw this coming for quite a while, and had let people know it was
going happening soon, back in June:

TL;DW - Inoperable lung cancer. Golfball sized tumor. Paralyzed his
left vocal cords because that nerve runs to your lungs and back. He
doesn't want to die old, he's not going to take chemo, he's not going
to stop smoking, he'll try radiation therapy, he's happy that god is
calling him home and has chosen this time. He's not worried, he's not
scared, he knows it'll be peaceful because painkillers are so
effective and he'll be surrounded by loved ones. He figures he'll have
a couple more episodes of EVTV before it catches up to him.

And, here is an obituary for him:

I'm not the best to speak on the merits or accomplishments or
influence on the EV world because of Jack. Anyone with stories or
thoughts, those that knew him, those that were helped by him, those
that were influenced by him, feel free to share.
