For Randy Pedersen · 16 Sept 2026

This one hit different. Lost my dad two years ago, same kind of thing, sudden and nobody really talks about what it was. I keep thinking about Randy saying dead flush perfect like it was nothing, twenty five years of that voice in the background of my whole adult life. 64 is nothing.

For Nisar Wayanad · 5 Sept 2026

A friend in Dubai said Nisar was the real thing, the kind of singer who'd learn whatever song you asked for and make it his own. Gone too soon, friend.

For Janie Bradford · 24 Aug 2026

Janie Bradford kept the Motown story honest. She showed up at the HAL Awards every year and reminded us all who built that sound and why it mattered. The music will outlive us, but so will her example.

For David Baltimore · 25 Sept 2025

The Asilomar Conference, the gene editing summits, the Whitehead Institute. He didn't just do the science. He thought hard about what it meant. We've lost someone rare.

For David Lynch · 11 Aug 2025

I grew up watching him make the ordinary terrifying and beautiful at the same time. That gift won't leave us.
