Jeff Geerling put out a quick video on Don’s passing. Ngl, I got choked up as Jeff said his last few words in that video.

I found Don a few years back, subscribed to his channel. Been building a lot of my lab with his easy to follow tutorials.

Don rarely posted in 2024 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. I have a close work colleague with brain cancer and rarely do people survive it and it is a slow and cruel way to leave this world.

I owe Don a lot with helping me build my home lab and helping me progress in my career at work.

I subbed to his Patreon for the past few years and just now donated to his kid’s 529 (link in Jeff’s video above)

I’ll miss him and his videos. RIP and hack in heaven… till it hertz.
