Many of you likely know or have interacted with Lathiira (real name Allen Dawson) over these many years. He wasn't the loudest contributor to the community, but always here with dry wit, stellar game knowledge, and readiness to inform and assist. He was also a good personal friend of mine and a good human full of honor and kindness.

I am very sad to share he died last Friday, succumbing to injuries after being hit by a car about 10 days prior.

Please hold his family and friends in prayer, light, and love.

Oh my god.

No. Oh no.

Is there anything that we can do for his family? Anywhere we can send anything?

Yeah, I saw where his brother (I think) posted that news on Facebook. Very sad to hear.

Rest in Peace.

A good person that will be sorely missed. Goodbye, Lathiira.

Oh no. No, no, no. Lathiira was far too young. This sucks.

My deepest sympathies to Lathiira's family, friends, and loved ones.

And I think I saw on Facebook that today would have been his birthday.

Sending love to his friends and family.

I had a miniature I had painted for him of one of his favorite RP characters--I had given it to him, but the arm broke, so I had taken it back to fix and never had gotten it back to him. He and I usually got together in DC for his birthday, so yesterday, I took the repaired and repainted mini to his favorite place in DC yesterday and tucked it into a nook somewhere so that little piece of him could be in a place he loved. Probably a dumb gesture, but it felt right.

Thanks for the good thoughts, all.

That is beautiful, DQ. A wonderful way to remember someone.

Go and rest, Allen. Your work here is done.
