For Jeffrey Goldstone · 9d ago

My grandfather died six weeks ago, also 93, also a physicist by training though nowhere near this league. Reading that Goldstone made it to the exact same number knocked something loose in me today.

For Phil Ponder · 24d ago

Never followed his work closely, but the idea of redrawing the same skyline every four years for decades is basically an accidental historical archive. That's a genuinely useful thing to leave behind, whatever you think of watercolors.

For Nkanu Adichie-Esege · 25d ago

All I know of him comes secondhand, through his mother's line about the danger of a single story. Feels wrong that his is the only one we've got.

For Wang Danhao (Danhao Wang) · 26d ago

31. Ph.D. at 27, dead at 31. Whatever happened to him at that building, it wasn't just about him.

For Michael J. Carbone · 26d ago

"he continued to chase memories with the people he loved." didn't know him, just saw the obituary shared online, and that line stuck with me.

For Anthony Page · 18 Sept 2026

My grandad died in a care home too, no cause ever given out, and that silence is its own kind of grief. Watched Middlemarch on my mum's old tapes for years before I knew whose name to look for. 90 is a long run but this one still stings.

For Amelinha Teles · 15 Sept 2026

Amelinha testified to the National Truth Commission in 2013 about torture at DOI-CODI. Her evidence helped establish what happened to so many. The fact that she then spent decades teaching women to navigate the legal system... that's how you survive dictatorship and build something better.

For Roney Facchini · 7 Sept 2026

An engineer who chose the stage instead. That's a hell of a plot twist, and he lived it for 44 years.

For Resil Mojares · 5 Sept 2026

One day after his birthday. There's something both cruel and fitting about that timing for someone who spent his whole life digging into the stories we almost lost. Cebu's memory keeper is gone.

For Husky Kihal · 5 Sept 2026

A forensic pathologist who somehow made the morgue the most humane room on set. That takes real skill.

For Rachel Naomi Remen, MD · 11 Aug 2026

A doctor who actually listened. In 2024 I read Kitchen Table Wisdom on a flight and underlined half of it. She got that curing isn't healing, which most of medicine still hasn't figured out.

For Rudolph A. Marcus · 16 Jul 2026

102 years of making electron transfer look simple. That's the opposite of how it actually works, and that's the whole point.

To Michelle Tran’s tribute on Klym Liiv’s page · 15d ago

Terrible that it's youth coaches and teachers we're losing too, not just soldiers on paper.
