Murphree ##### Thursday October 20, 2005 (05:00 PM GMT) By: NewsForge Staff NewsForge.com regrets to report that our freelance contributor Michael M. Murphree, 41, died Monday, October 17, as a result of a heart attack. Michael worked as a system administrator and held Level 2 certification from the Linux Professional Institute. A devoted family man, he also enjoyed writing children's fiction, woodworking, and building computer systems for the less fortunate. Updated Michael's stories for NewsForge and Linux.com were enjoyed by our readers because they covered useful, thoughtfully selected utilities they could try. They include recent stories on Vim, Freeduc, an educational live CD, and 10 Linux console applications. His passing deprives the Linux community of an articulate, informed voice. In addition to his wife Katrina, Michael is survived by three young children: Connor, Cinnamon, Caellum. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to an education fund which has been set up for the children. Contributions can be made by making a check payable to Greer State Bank and noting in the Memo field "FBO Murphree Children." Mail the memorial contribution to: Greer State Bank Attn: Roger Sims 1111 W.

It's a shame (Score:1) By tarun2701 (191533) on 2005.10.20 12:50 (#119285) I just finished reading some of his old articles. As a freelance writer myself, what strikes me is the professionalism of his work. Everything is clear and precise. Let's hope, like his words, Michael is in a better place as well.

My best to his wife and children (Score:0) By Anonymous Reader on 2005.10.20 12:59 (#119286) It is a shame to see anyone that young pass, but it is always the little ones that feel the loss the most. Remember. Daddy isn't gone, you just can't see or feel him anymore. He is still beside you and inside you and will always be. Is there a memorial fund?
