Man, I hate this. I don't even know how to break the news, guys, but here goes. Tech House has died.
He seemed to post pretty regularly back then, but as some people do he stopped posting. I didn't think anything of it because it happens. I remembered running across some of his Facebook posts a couple of years ago and it became obvious that he was a poster here because he was commenting about the same things on Facebook that we were talking about here and then posting either photos or articles or something of the same subject. Occasionally I'll see people speaking passionately on Facebook about downtown development in Austin, and I usually assume they're members here. I also remember seeing that cover photo of his posted here, and I remember clicking on his profile on Facebook after reading his comments.
Anyway, tonight I checked his forum profile to see just how long it had been since he'd logged on, and he has his name in his email address that's attached to his forum profile. So I went and looked on Facebook, and it's him. I recognize the photos of him and he still has that same cover photo up there of the skyline.
His last post here was on September 20, 2016, and his last log in was on September 22. His sister posted on Facebook on September 26, 2016, that he had died the day before (on a Sunday), but someone else said it had been on Friday, which would have been the 23rd. So I'm not 100% sure of the date since the announcement may have been prepared prior to being posted, and in their grief, it may have been overlooked. I can't seem to find an obituary for him. Tech House's real name was George Hunt. His sister posted on his Facebook page that he had been struggling with depression and that he decided to end his life.
This is the photo I remember him using as his cover photo on Facebook. He uploaded it the same day The ATX posted it on the forum.
