Some local obits coming through now: 
ABC 6. Ohio State News. Fan Nation.

Reading up on just how much he did for digital art, he's someone who may skim a QO in a month or two.

Juhani Palmu, 77, wants to keep painting as he has commissions that he "has" to do. Wants a prosthesis for this purpose.

This guy is already quite a miracle. He has been in a wheelchair for over ten years due to a ministroke, heart problems, diabetes and on top of all this he has battled urethral cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer and survived two house fires. And still keeps smoking in bed.

I saw your reply and though "yes, that usual Finnish painter guy, but he is not dead even this time".

Longtime Phoenix muralist and beloved community member Pablo Luna has died. He was 52.

Pablo Luna checked into the hospital on Feb. 24 with undiagnosed diabetes. After his diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis, Luna suffered a heart attack and battled pneumonia.

After being hospitalized for 55 days, his heart stopped at 1:33 a.m. on April 19, ending his battle with diabetes, double pneumonia and Valley Fever, 

 

Not sure if anyone else has ever had a DL Cup entry die of Valley Fever.  I’ll claim it as a first.

Juhani Palmu hospitalised again (around the fourth time this year) around a week ago with chest pain and kidney failure. He's also been put into a nursing home against his wife's will. Tough guy, he's got atleast 3 or 4 different serious diseases but seems to be indestructible and survives every hospitalisation
