In reply to the discussion: Sad news. DUer Blue-Jay has died. [View all]terrya
(45,617 posts)30. This is such terribly sad news.
I'm so, so sorry to hear about this.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Jason on here. He was smart, funny as hell and just a great guy.
I then met up in person at several DU meet-ups (he had to coax me to get to one of them, and I'm glad he did) and I liked him even more.
He was always friendly and encouraging to me when I would post on Facebook about my being down because of my depression.
The world is a sadder place now. One of the good ones has left us.
Take care, my friend.
And thanks for posting this lovely tribute, GAOT.
Terry
