RIP Jake Adams

[Origami]

Circumstances are unclear at this time, but there's Facebook traffic from friends announcing that Reefbuilers pioneer, Jake Adams has died. Jake was a pioneer bridging internet media, reef hobby developments, and the growing commercial marketplace with hobbyists like you and me. He will be missed. RIP my friend.

No details except what's been written about: Jake was on a flight itinerary to Bali and apparently died in flight. The last I read (yesterday), his remains were in Taiwan awaiting return.

FWIW, turns out his wife is 9 weeks pregnant, which is heart breaking. His sister put up a GoFundMe, and I think the Reefbuilders site added the link at the end of his Obit. 
 

I felt terrible after hearing that so I donated a small bit.

Thanks for donating. I did the same. And, yes, Windsor (his wife) is 2 months pregnant. It adds an added layer od sadness to his death.
