We have lost Khephra

[hippiechick]

I'm sure you've all heard by now.

I spoke with him yesterday re: our Indy DU gathering on the 26th.

:(

We will carry on, because that's what he would have wanted us to do - keep givin' the fundies hell.


RIP, my compadre.

2. That's terrible news.

He was quite young.

[hippiechick]

Scott was 35 and had a history of health issues.

5. NO! NO! NO!

I love Khephra he was what I called 'The Rock' of DU!
I'm not happy at all! Please keep us informed.

RIP, My Rock! I'll keep giving those stinking fundies hell for you!

6. This is awful!

I am so sorry to hear this.
My deepest condolences to his family and to all of you who knew him.
He was one of the good guys and he will be missed.

7. I just heard, I am at a loss for words, hippiechick and Voltaire

I found out through a PM when I logged in this Sunday morning. He was very committed to democracy and justice. A great loss to all of us.

I will recite the Kaddish tonight... :(

[hippiechick]

8. I would have called but ...

Neither Voltaire nor I have a phone # for you.

Will keep you posted thru PM if/when/where there is a service.

:hug:

10. Oh God

How sad.

I didn't really know Kepra but he has been here forever. I am so sorry!

You just don't expect anyone to leave like that.

11. He was my friend.

Grant unto him eternal rest, O' Lord, that in his flesh he may see God.

:cry:

12. Dear Kef

was among the first to welcome me to du---so long ago---so much water under the bridge since then

I hope he has found peace He has always had (our) love

[salin]

13. Thanks hippiechick

will keep checking back for updates per a memorial service.

[hippiechick]

14. MommaKef won't know anything until after tomorrow ....

It sounded like she wouldn't be able to finalize plans until the autopsy was completed.

:(

I'll be touching base with her tomorrow during the day and let everyone know what's going on.

I will check this thread regularly-

[Padraig18]

15. Godspeed, my friend.

19. but what part of Indiana was he from?

Indy? I'm sorry for the loss, wish I knew him better :(

[faithfulcitizen]

20. yes, Indy-orginally Richmond area...Scott is my cousin

we just learned that he was "Khephra" when he died. There are other family members on DU as well. The out-pouring of love from his DU family is very comforting. I know it means a lot to my aunt.

[eleonora]

21. So sorry

My condoleances from a fellow Hoosier (down south at Evansville). He sure was a great person.

[Gemini Cat]

22. Faithfulcitizen are you still in Richmond?

Please pm me!!!

[faithfulcitizen]

23. no, we live in Indy now too...don't know how to PM?

i think my post count is too low.
