I don't know how to say this. This is terribly hard.

I'm devastated to have heard that @geordie passed away last night in his sleep.

My thoughts are with his family of course, and with all of us who knew him in the physical world as well.

Please hug who you need to extra well tonight

@nonspecialist that's NOT okay!

I’d known Geordie for about 15 years, since we served on the EFA board together. We'd been friends online, and on the rare occasion our paths crossed, ever since. What a huge loss for Helen and his young lad. And for those of us who knew him here and elsewhere online.

I am in very real mourning for his loss.

@nonspecialist @geordie oh no. That’s horrible. I never got to meet him in person but I so appreciated his contributions around here, especially being one of the few working out how to talk about faith in a mastodon culture that can be weird about that. If there is anything happening to support his family, let us know
