I just found out about this, and it was truly crushing news. I remember first reading Redwall in grade school around 1995. The Redwall series is what got me into reading in the first place, and more than once it has brought me back. I cannot wait to take in his final gift, The Rogue Crew, but at the same time, it will be a sad day because I know there won't be anymore.

I never met the man, but his stories will stay with me forever, and if I ever have children, they will experience the Redwall magic just like I have.

Mr. Jacques, thank you. Rest in peace.
