In Loving Memory
Dear friends,
As many of you are surely aware, recently we unfortunately lost two very dear contributors to our community. For those that have not heard, we thought it appropriate to notify everyone of the details.
Scott Watterworth – October 25th, 1982 – October 31st, 2011
Scott unexpectedly passed away on Halloween 2011 from a heart attack at the age of 29. Scott was a vibrant and dynamic artist who along with his partner Mike Exner contributed in many ways to our community and events over many years. Scott was integral in various lighting, deco and laser setups and installations that brought many events to another level. Scott touched many lives deeply in his short stay in this realm with his open heart, free spirit and embracing smile. Scott will be dearly missed by us all.
John Panagapka – January 9th, 1965 – December 5th, 2011
John passed from this world to the next on December 5th, five weeks after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. John was very active in the annual Summer Solstice festivals, as a coordinator and builder of necessary infrastructure, participating in and assisting with many other events and projects within our community. John had wisdom and character like none other. He shared his knowledge and joy with the world without expectation. If you ever had the pleasure of meeting John he most likely made a lasting impression on you.
Both of these men passed from our lives way before their time. We know that both of them would want us all to shine their light forward in our own lives as they did while living theirs.
Namaste
Suma
