I don't know much about this website, but I recently found Alex's account on here (atdrummond), and his posts where he contributed tens of thousands of dollars to community members here during the Holidays to help people who were struggling.

This was his most recent holiday post: https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=38492378

He was a great man who helped many different communities of people like he did here, and he sadly passed away earlier this year. I didn't know him personally but I was able to witness his amazing generosity on more than one occasion. This memorial page to help raise funds for Crohn's & Colitis was set up by his family after his passing: https://p2p.onecause.com/diy-tributes-memorials/shay-drummon...

Thank you for reading, I don't know if anyone seeing this will have felt or been impacted by his generosity, but I wanted to try to inform more people of the great life this man lead and the charity he spread everywhere he went. May God rest his soul.


So sad to hear about this. I remember his holiday help posts, they were very inspiring. A loss for the community, both here and at large.
We'll come together on Dec 1st to keep it going. See y'all then.
I didn't know him personally but he was heavily involved in some communities I'm in and I also knew him from some of his posts here on HN. He's a great example of how one generous man can have such a wide influence, reaching across multiple "worlds" both online and offline. May God grant him pardon and peace.
