Tragic Loss – Patrick Power (September 30, 1969 – October 16, 2007)

My deepest sympathy to the family of an awesome artist and one of the most generous people I’ve ever known. Patrick Power passed away last week. He was a serious Johnny Appleseed of the internet and I can’t pretend that I’d know anything about web2.0 without his knowledge/ my chillsesh wouldnt exist without him. I still look at http://school.patrickpower.com/ when I am unsure about stuff. Im not sure what kind of services will be in either Richmond, VA or Alfred, NY. Patrick is survived by his wife and 5-month old son, Patrick Power 3. Donations for his family can be made on http://forp3.com/ .

Wow… he was my teacher for a few years at VCU. He was always available to help me out, even over the phone. He had a great attitude- He is going to be missed by a lot of folks. What has become of his personal website?

I have mixed emotions. I am sad and angry. Patrick was a teacher and a friend. I knew him for many years. He came to my wedding and helped my through projects at my job. He offered video advice and his sense of humor. He always called me by my full name, never just by my first. I will miss him.
