Texrat has passed away.

Cybette:
Our wonderful friend Randy @texrat has left us. As many of you know, he's an amazing person, smart, funny, and a most cherished friend. He was loved and respected in the community, had a way with words which will put whatever I'm trying to write here to shame,... 1/

Plus I don't have words right now, just tears. I also don't have much more details, but if you want to send a card to his family, please DM me for the address. I think they'll appreciate to hear from Randy's friends how he has made an impact in our lives,... 2/

touched and cared for us even when he was hurting and had his own problems to fight with. I miss him dearly. 3/3
I offer to establish contact to cybette in case you want to avoid twitter.

may he rest in peace....
Condolences to his families and friends.

For the first time, I agree with @Dave999
I thought 2020 was a sad year, but I guess 2021 will be another sad year

I was in shock when i learned this. Still find it hard to believe.
He was always looking to be acknowledged, i hope he knew he always was.

RIP my friend.
