Too Soon

A while back, I wrote about Keith Hogan, the subject of a YouTube documentary entitled The Lucky Mutant. The film describes Keith’s life with spinal muscular atrophy and his efforts to live an independent life. Keith and I exchanged a few e-mails and and followed each other on Twitter. Keith was also a fellow blogger. He was an outspoken advocate of Democratic policies and he had an obvious love for his hometown of Austin, Texas. It deeply saddened me to learn that Keith passed away a few days ago at the age of 45. He will be missed.
