21. Kephra (his real name was Scott, btw) had a room full of monitors.

He was at our house for the first DU gathering along with John (5thGenDem, who has also passed.) He rode with us up to Saginaw to an annual blowout that John did every year called FunDay. We stopped in Indy to collect him, and he invited us in. He had a bedroom that he'd turned into news central. It was a thing to see. He was a sweet gentle soul with a passion for SF, and graphic novels, and some manga (but not all!) He also loved his kitties!

He loaned Kevin a copy of V for Vendetta, and then told Kevin to just keep it because he could tell Kev really enjoyed it. It resides on one of our bookshelves to this day, and always will. To this day, I think of him whenever I see a Guy Fawkes mask.

Still miss him terribly.
