was a very active and supportive member of our community and I was really impressed to see the energy and kindness he deployed to keep in touch with his Steemians friends while he battled cancer and was on a hospital bed.

I got informed of ’s death by
and while we shared our sadness, she wrote:
I don’t know if steemitboard has a posthume badge but I would love one for him
Without waiting, the whole team mobilized to realize this magnificent idea.
From now on, the Steem ecosystem will have a special member in addition to the usual redfishes, minnows, dolphins, orcas and whales!
You can see this brand new character on his board.
This is my little gift to and his family. I hope they will appreciate this initiative and will find some comfort in going through these difficult times. Thank you
for this brilliant idea.
As any information in the blockchain, will stay in our minds and in our hearts... forever!
Farewell my friend!
