Default R.I.P. Chris Chianelli

I'm sure all of you(like me) who really know RC would understand. Over last night, Chris Chianelli died for unknown reasons in his sleep. Chris was a "big shot" in the RC community. He hosted the Radio Control Show on rccaraction.com and hosted the DIY Networks RC show. Prayers and condolences to Chris' family and friends and all who have known what he has done. I found the information originally on beatyourtruck but I retyped it here just in different words. Sure the link below is from wikipedia but we(me and people on the other forum) concluded that it was true and just to feel sorry for his family
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Chianelli

Found another link that proves it.
http://www.bigsquidrc.com/chris-chianelli-passes-away/ My friend found a link from RCCA(RC Car Action) but it didn't work for me.

This is quite sad. I never really heard of the fellow, because I personally don't own a nice R/C. But, I do think it is sad that someone who brought so much entertainment and so much joy and happiness to all who followed the R/C and model train hobby. My condolences to his family. This is very unfortunate.

Holy crap! I've read his articles in RCCA for longer than most of you have been able to walk! I hope his life was fulfilled at his time of death, he definitely had a pretty sweet job.

Yes it is very sad indeed. His job was awesome and it is because of him why I have some of the RC's that I do today like my MCX, his video's convinced me to get one. (even though I already badly wanted one)
