For more, just go read what Brother Charlie Pierce wrote.

Saw this yesterday. Devastating news. I hope his family gets good support.
His voice and insight will be sorely missed.
Beltway Media breathing a little bit easier today.
"He was gloriously unimpressed by reputations." Well said Charlie. Let's all try harder to learn from Eric and carry on his work in our own ways.
This hits like a ton of bricks. I just read another memorial this morning. Not as poetic as Charlie's but put EB's work in context.
