Trike | 115 comments Terrible news. My condolences to his friends and family.

I wondered why all of his emails suddenly disappeared from my inbox.

Edit: Which is actually kind of rude of Goodreads. It's like Kenny suddenly became a non-person.

I agree! Some of them were personal emails to me; we discussed quite a few books together. I just found out because I came on to tell him of a graphic novel/book that I thought he would so enjoy.

I feel sadness over the loss of such a kind, genuine person. If Kenny's friends and relatives are reading, know that he is very much missed by us as well. We're very sorry for your loss...

This is the thread. I just had a thought about the founder of this group. I hope he is doing well up there. I remember how he grew this group and was so very VERY active for years, until he was killed by a drunk driver.

Matt | 9 comments I'm so sorry to hear about Kenny's passing. While I am a relative newcomer to the group, I can definitely say that the community he created here has been so welcoming and enjoyable. I can think of no better way to honor his memory than by continuing to foster and share the love of this art form that meant so much to him.
