Losing a giant

I learned today that Charles Edge, one of the smartest people I’ve been privileged to know in my life, has passed away. I don’t know more details, but we have lost a kind and magnificent giant in the Mac Admins community and I have lost a good friend. 

It hits all the harder in that his death is so unexpected. Charles was one of the most alive people I knew. He wrote countless books (including a couple editions of Apple Device Management with me as co-author), either ran or appeared in multiple podcasts, had a full time job, contributed multiple open source tools and despite all of that always seemed to have time to talk. My regret is that I didn’t talk to him more often, with our last conversation happening in February.

I already miss you terribly, man. Wherever you are now, I hope you know how much you are loved and missed here.

If you have good memories of Charles, please share them in the comments below.
