Boz, thanks for the link. My sword held high for all of them, thank you for taking on the Wiki work. Keith Parkinson was a huge influence in my work.

Wow, I really let this one get out of date... I may need to compile this thread and start over. Meanwhile, catching up.

In 2014 after DAT, we had Scott Ciencin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ciencin

In 2015 to keep it simple for the moment with just one link, we lost John Hill, Brett Ewins, Francis Tsai, and Glen Orbik: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_in_games

In 2016 the only one I can think of was Wayne England: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_England

And we just lost Loren Wiseman last month: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Wiseman

Another update needed for this thread... off the top of my head, we had three in 2018:

William O'Connor – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_O'Connor_(artist)
Carl Sargent - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sargent
Greg Stafford - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Stafford

Has anyone noteworthy died this year? Am I missing anyone from 2016 on?

He had quite a few writing and design credits with Mongoose and Green Ronin over the years.

Just last week I had to check when we lost Keith Parkinson, one of my fav fantasy artists. It's a good thing you've put this list together and for the others to add to it. Thank you, all.

And a toast to the memory of all we've lost, indeed.
