I just got word from Chris's sister, Kate, that @Chris15 passed away last night at his home near Sydney, Australia.
Chris quietly let some of us know on ControlBooth at the beginning of the year that he was diagnosed with cancer and that it was spreading. He asked us to keep it quiet and we did. He was fighting it and was optimistic. Apparently he took a turn for the worse a couple of weeks ago. Luckily he was able to come home to be cared for.
His sister Kate said he passed peacefully and pain-free last night.
We will have more details in the next couple of days, but we just wanted to post here to let the community grieve and mourn the loss of our brother.
Chris15 has been with ControlBooth for 14 years and a CBMod for over a decade and I had the great privilege to get to meet him in person twice when he came to DC for advanced Dante / Audinate training.
Chris spent a LOT of time on CB when most of us were asleep, and there were many a late night or early morning when we would chat and he would catch me up on any goings-on that happened on CB during the night. He had a big heart and would often reach out to people over private message and offer advice and help.
His sister Kate told us that ControlBooth has been a constant in his life for many years.
So, ControlBooth, I would ask you to collectively raise a glass to our fallen brother.
Rest In Peace, Chris, and we will do our best to live up to your example.
