Shocking news. He was so young, so vibrant. I met *HighFlyah* with klua88 at the United Club in Los Angeles 20 years or so ago. Since then, we've stayed in touch on Facebook where he has posted his travel adventures. I remember his story of being in Indonesia when the tsunami hit. He and some of his family members rode out the storm in a boat in the water. When they were able to return to shore, they did not know what they would find. Were his parents alive? His grandmother? And indeed all of his family survived. I loved following along as he celebrated his parents' 50th wedding anniversary last November in Hong Kong.

I'm so sad for his family who meant so much to him and all of his friends for whom he was a integral part of life.
