The very wonderful Matt
Kimpton has died. He was 35.
About 1% of what you
need to know about him is here. I probably only knew
about 7% of what I needed to.
He was funny and kind and clever. That's the main other thing you need to know.
"We will sing of him in
the great mead hall, and, because he will be a hero then, we will get
things wrong and fail to tell it all and rewrite details as we
recount his story.
"He will be a pebble
smoothed into story and reduced to mere legend, but those of us who
knew the man will always know a man is more than a story that shifts
from teller to teller, more than a beacon in the dark and more than
any number of symbols you can wrap up and carry in words."
I will miss my friend.
I'm so glad he was here and so grateful to the people who loved him,
cared for him and helped make him who he was.
Breathe easy, Matt.
