RIP Guido Sohne

By Duane Lester • May 16th, 2008 • 440 Views

I got an e-mail from a Newsvine friend of mine via Facebook, alerting me of the death of Guido Sohne. I met Guido on Newsvine, and I can’t recall ever agreeing with him once on any issue. But despite that, I knew Guido was a good guy, a very passionate guy, with a big heart.

He apparently died on May 2. From Newsvine user djehuty:

Guido Sohne

The following message was posted to NV in a comment thread by Guido’s sister in law. She has agreed to me giving it wider notice here.

FYI, Guido passed away in Nairobi last week. He was only 34 years old.

Here is a 5/6/08 facebook post from his sister Sandra: I am sorry to have to inform all of you of Guido’s sudden passing in Nairobi. We know he died at home between Friday night and Monday morning. We do not know the cause or time of death. However, no foul play is suspected. You’ll all agree with me that he was an amazing human being who had so much to give the world and who was working to make the world a slightly better place.

Rest in Peace, Guido.
