Showing Original Post only (View all)It's my sad duty to report the passing of DU member nevergiveup [View all]
It has been brought to my attention that DU member nevergiveup has unfortunately passed away quite suddenly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
nevergiveup joined DU twenty years ago, in 2004, and while he was not the most prolific poster, it was reported to me that he considered DU to be his trusted safe space. I am told that he frequently and widely shared the content that you all bring to the site each day, and that the exposure to all the different stories was a joy to him.
He posted mostly in General Discussion, and his last post was on July 25, when he simply posted "Go Kamala!!!!" -- a sentiment shared by all of us.
My condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.

Nicely said. A piece of us dies, and a piece of him lives on with us. Not giving up - ever.
