In reply to the discussion: DUer Steve Deshazer ("stevedeshazer") has died [View all]RFKHumphreyObama
(15,164 posts)89. Oh no! Very shocked and saddened to hear this
I can't say that I followed his posts closely but I was always aware of his presence here, thought he made some great contributions to DU and thought DU was a much better place for having him as a member here. He always seemed like such a nice and friendly guy as well and deeply committed to what he believed in
This is a deeply sad loss for the DU community, as well as for Steve's family and friends and all those others who knew and loved him. My deepest, sincerest and most heartfelt thoughts, prayers, condolences and sympathies go out to his wife, his family and his friends both here and in real life:hugs: I know he undoubtedly touched the lives of many and left the world a better place for his being in it. I'm so, so sorry
