It's the unrelenting march of time. The hobby has been around for over 
50 years now (when did the first fantasy campaign start? '71? '72?), and 
the people who were involved in the beginning were not kids back then 
either.
We'll have a constant stream of deaths coming up from now on. Well, we 
had one already. That also is part of hobbies growing unfortunately.
