Some sad news - it seems that Brian has passed away. I'm seeing
tributes from a number of his friends on his Facebook page.
Does anyone know more?

Oh no :( That's really sad - I'd lost contact a bit after deleting my old
facebook profile so thank you for letting the list know Andy.
I'll keep an eye out/help if any form of tribute or homage in prospect for
his work as a wikipedian.

From his non-wiki friends on Facebook, apparently he passed suddenly on
the 4th July. He was due to start cancer treatment shortly after then.
Possibly he had COVID, but it is not clear.
RIP.

This is awful news. I don't use Facebook these days so I hadn't heard. I
remember going to Edinburgh to do a talk years ago and spending some time
with Brian. He had a wicked sense of humour and was passionate about social
justice. And interesting taste in hats. He'll be missed.

We seem to be living in a time of sad news.
I only met Brian on a handful of occasions, but he immediately made an
impression on me as real character and a Wikimedian passionate about Wikinews.
The projects will sorely miss him.
