Douglas “Uncle Bullhorn” Berry passed away Saturday, September 30, from complications of long COVID. If love alone could have saved him, he would be as immortal as we always believed him to be.
As for the future of this blog, it is my intention to import all of the content from his erstwhile Patreon so it will remain available as long as this site exists (I've taken the time to unlock all of his posts so they are public there, and will remove his membership tiers so nobody is being charged any longer, but I realize that's not the purpose of the site). This may take some time to complete, however, as I am still managing my own medical treatment AND moving back in with my mother.
Doug's life will be celebrated Saturday, October 28, from 1-5 p.m. at the Doubletree by Hilton, 2050 Gateway Place, San Jose CA. Dress code is "fannish formal" (the venue was chosen as it was home to the conventions where we began our life together) or "whatever makes you think of Doug," be that Burning Man attire, heavy metal t-shirts, SF Giants or 49ers gear, etc. Please be prepared to mask unless you are actively drinking or at the podium to speak. N95, KN95, KF94, or reusable cloth masks with disposable PM2.5 filters will all be acceptable. (We will have a limited supply of masks on hand.) For those of you who cannot attend in person, we will be streaming at least part of the memorial on Facebook Live.
Donations in his memory can be made to the SF Giants Community Fund, the All Within My Hands Foundation, or Mission 22.
I already miss him more than I will ever be able to tell you.
