I'm saddened to report that Michael Higgins, known and loved in Second Life as Garth Fairchang since 2003, died this weekend, from pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his RL and SL wife, Mrs. Pituca Faichang, who co-managed their FairChang Estates in Second Life. Please offer her condolences in the SL forum, on their blog, on her Facebook profile, or, or course, in Second Life, at a memorial erected in Garth's memory.

Garth was always an amazing guy. He had a huge heart and was always willing to offer a helping hand with any project, and just so giving. I am going to miss him, and am sorry he didn't get to attend SLCC one last time this year. Best wishes to Pituca. :(

I only spoken to them once, a year ago to the day when I was writing about my trip through Taber, so I didn't know Garth, but I've only heard good things about him. My thoughts are with his partner and friends in SL/RL.

This is so sad ... I fondly remember the time I spent with Garth and Pituca on the old Montmartre sim all those years ago... :-(
Sail on, brother!

Pituca, I am so sorry to hear about Garth. I was not even aware of his illness. Like Candy (above) I remember the many endless hours of happiness spent in the company of my favorite people. Things will never be the same again without him in our lives.
