Drew Speedie: Requiem

Drew and his son, Brent, somehow tumbled 200 ft off a bridge in Yellowstone Park on Friday and have both passed away.

Drew was a fixture at developers conferences and his son, who I used to affectionately call "Mini-D", was always hammering at his laptop - wearing the same glasses and expressions as Drew and hence my nickname for him.

I last saw Drew in May in Las Vegas and "Mini-D" was there too, although I didn't have much chance to talk with either of them.

The loss of our community is great, but pales in comparison to the loss the rest of his family must be feeling.
