This sucks, my heart goes out to his family :(

For a brief moment I wondered if this is what I want to see on HN/Techcrunch. But we're a community, and lots of us live in SF - if it were a friend of mine, I'd be super happy to see this trending. Seems like the least we can do is have each others backs.

You should post this at http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco as well.

I guess that post has been removed by an admin because it contained personal information (wtf?!): http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/2lhwzi/an_impo...

Ah, I hadn't seen that. It looks like they've updated the post with links to actual news articles to satisfy Reddit's requirement of posting personal information.

Amazing how at this point we can pretty much find anything through digital means as nearly everything is shared and appears online eventually. Yet we still fail to find something (or someone) that really matters.

On the flip side, if you're an adult and trying to "disappear" for.. whatever reason you've chosen (it's your prerogative), social media has made that difficult.

An adult trying to disappear would not have a very hard time saying, "Hey, everybody! I'm going to take some time away from social media and go on a trip. I'll be back on-line in a couple months. I look forward to reading all your posts when I'm back." In some ways, I think social media makes it easier to disappear, as you can give everybody a plausible explanation at once, rather than trying to talk individually to the many people who might be plausibly concerned by a sudden disappearance.
