Just came across this, apparently it is a year old. I had no idea.

Eric Hogue, aka One Brow at Jazz Fanz. I didn't see this in this thread, did it get it's own thread and I missed it? I knew he had ALS and it was aggressive, I didn't realize it took him from this world.

https://www.riverbender.com/obits/details/eric-hogue---obituary-27306.cfm

As far as I know one of, if not the first, Jazz Fanz'ers who passed away. RIP my friend. You were a big part of this site for a long time, we miss you.

****, I didn’t see this either and literally texted you a month or so ago wondering if a current member was in fact OneBrow. Awful, man. Life can be a bitch.

That text was what made me go to his blog and start searching for him to find out how he was doing. Then I found the obit. Very sad. Is he the first primary jazz-fanzer who has died? I mean we have plenty who just stop posting and we may not know their real names, so maybe not. But the first I know of whom I knew outside of here, at least somewhat. Hit me harder than I thought it would.

Not sure. @SaltyDawg might as well have since his laptop take was so bad.

Appears to be suicide. This is interesting. Cyberbullying is an epidemic we aren't doing enough about.
