God bless you, Brian Jacques. Redwall fans around the world will deeply miss him. He was such a beautiful writer, one of the best. I have been staring at this screen for several minutes now, and it's very slowly sinking in. I've never had to experience the death of someone I admired, and I'm extremely shocked. His name will live on through his books, just like Martin the Warrior. He was a true fighter and a magnificent writer. No one will ever write like him, for he is just one person, and that's all. There won't be another Brian Jacques in the future. I've been obsessed with Redwall since the end of 2008.


 * Although we may not see you again,
 * Your spirit will live on,
 * Drifting gently from each page and book,
 * Your life's duty done.
 * May you go to the streams and hills,
 * Which you brought to life,
 * Peacefully as you rest there,
 * No more will you have strife.
 * Life is one short journey,
 * Like a rainbow in the sky,
 * With many special memories.
 * May your spirit soar high.
