Carl Backstrom (@carlback), a member of the Oracle family, died last weekend in a tragic car accident.
I did not know Carl well, but my few interactions with him were always a pleasure. He was one of those people with a permanent smile on his face, and I know he was a great asset in, and contributor to, the Oracle APEX developer community.
His manager, Joel Kallman, blogs here about a possible memorial fund; you may want to check back there for details as they emerge.
My condolences to Carl's friends and family.

I met Carl at Collaborate07. I will remember him as fun-loving guy with a huge smile who contributed mightily to APEX and its community. I am very sad to hear his life was cut short so suddenly. I wish his family and friends the best through this difficult time. RIP Carl.
