# Russell Shaw, RIP

It is with a heavy heart that I report that well-known and beloved Portland tech blogger Russell Shaw has passed away.

[Aaron Hockley](http://www.vanportlander.com/russell-shaw/ "Russell Shaw"), [Alex Williams](http://alexhwilliams.com/post/28980180 "Alex Williams"), and [Portland Metblogs](http://portland.metblogs.com/2008/03/16/russell-shaw-the-blogosphere-will-miss-you/ "Russell Shaw") have written farewells to a man who truly was a professional blogger, in every sense of the word.

He will be missed.
