Quicksand Fans

I've never started one of these topics, but this guy was the real deal. And the loss saddens me.

Hi travelogues were beyond interesting, and he spoke (and wrote - a lot) unflinchingly about his experiences. He had a zest for life and had a natural respect for every person he met.

I invite anyone who has never seen his shows to check one out. Hopefully his work will remain visible. Even so, the world just became a lesser place with his passing.

If nothing else, hopefully his death and Kate Spade's death will shine a spotlight on mental illness (be it depression or other mental disorders) and suicide prevention.

I feel so bad for his daughter. The world may have lost one of it's modern storytellers, but she will never have her dad around while she grows up.
