I never met DeScent personally, but like others have mentioned he was always happy to help out me and others. Such an extraordinary contributor to this place, and an inspiration.
My thoughts go out to friends and family, but in particular to PussinBoots (who I am privileged to have met personally). She is very warm hearted and does not deserve what I can only imagine she is going through. Those two did everything together and I hope that she is ok.
RIP DeScent.
