I don't know what to say or how to write this, so I'll let the obituary speak for itself.
This is the Stevie about whom I wrote in a previous blog entry. I was listening to iTunes when a song came on that reminded me of him: Waiting for That Day, by George Michael. He used to chant the coda to me, "You can't always get what you waaaant...," when I'd be whining about something.
And on a whim, thinking about him, I Googled him. His death notice was in the Huntsville paper only two weeks ago.
Since readers here got to know something about him, I thought it only appropriate to share the news, and to say that the world is diminished by his loss.
I remember him as a fiercely decent man who was smart, and beautiful, and innately attuned to exposing injustice.
I am at a loss for words.
He was 39.

You have my deepest sympathy. I can't imagine what a shock this must be. Having just recently lost someone close to me, I know that there is nothing really that anyone can say. Know you are in my thoughts. *hugs*
