Blogger Dean Barnett dies at 41.
It’s been a busy day and I’ve got a lot of irons in the fire. I’m sure you’ve had similar days. Then, when you’re busy multi-tasking your head off, something happens that causes your day to come to such a jarring halt you’d swear you’re hearing the squealing of tires on the speeding vehicle that is your life. That just happened to me. Checking in on HotAir.com, I found this heartrending post, titled “Horrendous: Dean Barnett passes away.”
One of the smartest and sweetest people I’ve ever met, online or otherwise. Gone at 41. I’m speechless.
I had to read that line twice for it to sink in. I first ran into Dean’s writing when he started a guest spot over a Hugh Hewitt’s blog. He was a quick wit, eloquent, and as firmly grounded as anyone I’d ever read. Seeing this post just left a hollow feeling within.
Godspeed, Dean. May God grant your family strength and peace.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual Light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
Amen
