RoryoCox Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Today we received the unfortunate news that Dan Jezek, the owner and founder of Bricklink has passed away. He has such a positive impact on all LEGO fans around the world and I am sure the LEGO online community would not have been the same without him. Go here to see the full article. It is always sad to hear of another death of a prominent LEGO enthusiast and I hope the next time you use Bricklink you think a little thought of him. Our condolences go out to the Jezek family.

legolooney Posted October 27, 2010 Despite never meeting him or even knowing his name until today, i feel deeply saddened. Not only was he just 33 but without this man the AFOL hobby would be very different. He achieved more in his 33 years than I could ever hope to achieve. My condolences to the family.
