Please accept heartfelt condolences from Wikimedia Australia on the passing 
of such a young life. At this time we think on his family and his Wikimedia 
colleagues and friends. We can know a person through their authorship and so 
their soul lives on through their writing. His writing and his passion for 
spreading the word about how to be part of Wikimedia is forever part of the 
global movement that mourns his passing.

Anne
for Wikimedia Australia
