R.I.P. - Shawn Geley

I received the sad news of Shawn's passing early this morning from John Rutherford.
I met Shawn in 2007 in Thunder Bay at the Ontario Open. I was struck by his enthusiasm for chess and his positive energy.
Shawn was only 37. A life taken too soon.

Condolences to family and friends.

Way too young to die. Condolences to family and friends.

Shawn showed kindness and caring for the local chess community. I enjoyed our ganes at the club in Thunder Bay. Very sad to hear.
