He replied to a post in the Slackware forum back at the end of January telling folk he had terminal cancer. No idea how things have progressed since then but I know he was already very unwell at that point and I’ve not seen him crop up since that time. I imagine he’s either spending his remaining time with his family or he’s already at rest. Either way, losing Steve is a huge blow to the community. Wish I could have met him and thanked him in person for his videos. They were so helpful to me in the early days of running Slackware.

Let’s hope he and his family stays strong. He also mentioned his lung cancer in the announcement comments.
