That is sad news. I believe I only met Filceolaire once or twice at meet-ups, but he left an impression, and I remembered his name. 

I Googled him to make sure I was matching the right face to the name, and stumbled across his YouTube account. It said this was the last video he liked:

It's kind of a Wikipedian's video, celebrating knowledge. It seemed to fit the man, and what he was about – and perhaps, alongside all his contributions to the wiki, a good way to remember him.

Condolences to his friends and family.
