Online relationships are unusual and untraditional. I'm a professional in this business, I work from another part of the world with many people who are 20.000 kms. away from me, whose names/ages/identities(sometimes genders) I never know, who I never talked to personally nor even seen a photo of them but there are so many people among them who I like, respect and even see as friends at times.
I worked with Kevin since 2002. It was a professional relationship. Maybe we have exchanged thousands of emails but never see eachother, never talked to eachother on phone, never even see eachother pictures. I didn't even know how old he was. Yet I feel like I know him very well and respect him so much. He was the only server admin, who got into my "recommended professionals" list although I worked with literally hundreds of server admins around the globe in my profession. He was timely, smart, expert in his business, definetely one of the best in his field. He was so responsive, as mentioned in my personal blog, you could assume he was living inside the server. Whenever a technical problem showed up, he was right on it in seconds and there was nothing he couldn't handle or got stuck in his business.
EF is one of the largest online communities in the world and it is not possible for regular visitors to know how much work, dedication, knowledge, efforts and expertise it requires to run it flawlessly. Digger was the magician behind the scenes to make it happen. He will be terribly missed.
My deepest condolences to his family, friends and entire EF community.

I got an email from an old EF friend I hadnt heard from in a while - opened it anticipating a laugh that his emails always bring. Instead it was the news of digger's passing. doesnt get more upside down then that.
As a member, Digger and I did battle for years "debating" where the line was on photochops and ballbusting in general. He was one of a very tiny group of authority figures, e-life or real-life, that had the touch. You toe'd the line he set because you wanted to, not because you had to - like you didnt want to disappoint him
As a mod, I got to know him better, and my respect and admiration for him as a person and a professional grew.
I can't imagine EF without digger. this is really sad.
RIP Diggs. I'll miss you bro.
