Yesterday, catgc lost a most valuable member. Stian Finanger Thorvaldsen, or as we knew him best, Adolf Hipster, passed away last night.
He had a severe case of meningitis, an infection in the brain and/or spinal cord. He was admitted yesterday, then he was moved to another hospital, where he took his last breath.
He was one of the founding members of this community and a great part in shaping CaTGC into what it is today. We might not have agreed upon everything and no doubt, there were conflicts. But he was a great person none the less.
19 years is how old he became before he left this world. That's one year older than me. I'm sure he treasured life as much as anyone, yet he ceased to exist at such a young age. This could've happened to anyone.
I know I'm not particularly good at writing this kind of stuff, but please don't let my ability get in the way of honoring his memory.
My thoughts go to his family and close ones.
So, remember: never hesitate to live your life to the fullest. It's your privilege to have the means to do so, so don't let them go to waste. Death can come when we least expect it.
