As I understand it, his death (on Wednesday night, I think) came as a result of complications from injuries sustained several months ago in a very serious automobile accident. We’ve lost a very good mind and a devoted Latter-day Saint.
I was a bit surprised he didn’t even bother to link to the man’s blog. You’d think it would be only kind for one blogger to honor the memory of another. So here it is:

I noticed that some of his other activities and writings are linked on his home page: https://kgbudge.com. He obviously put a lot of work into his Pacific War Online Encyclopedia and other projects. Some research works of his are listed here. My condolences to his family.
