Jeff Soyer was one of the first bloggers I ever met way back when blogging was THE thing. He and I hit it off because our preference was to stay at the outskirts of the goings on at the shindig at the Weekend Pundit's old Manse. He generally gave up blogging to turn to modern FB and forum formats. He had great presence amongst several gaming and writing online communities and he asked me to take over moderation of one of those FB communities about a year ago when his health really started deteriorating. In March of this year the doctors weren't quite sure why he was still above ground.
He was an older generation gun nut with a love of reading, a cat lover. a big donor for varous projects in his community, and a gay guy with a great sense of humor in a time when being "other" was not as acceptable as it is for the younger generations coming up.
Rest in Peace my friend. Although sad for the loss felt by family and friends, I am so happy you are out of pain and have joined all your 4-legged furry friends who passed before you.
His preliminary obituary is here.

Your tribute makes this reader wish she had known your friend.
