Goodbye Marc Orchant

December 9, 2007 · Comments

Husband, father, blogger, and all-around super nice guy, Marc Orchant, has passed away. I wish Sue and family peace after sorrow, and hope after grief. It’s a difficult time to know what would be the right thing to say. Everyone says that. So, my version of the right thing to say was that I spent a little time in Marc’s presence, and thought he was super swell. I was a faithful subscriber to his various projects and blogs, and I’m happy to have shared two meals with Marc. My memories of him are all good things. Safe journey, Marc, and my warmest wishes to the Orchant family at this time.

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • This is so incredibly sad - I didn't know Marc at all, but had read his blog. There's nothing to say at a time like this, but it sounded like he was surrounded by family and love when he left.

    I'll light a candle tomorrow and think of Marc and his family.
  • Sad, indeed. You and I shared one of those meals with Marc, and we talked about Batman! Of course, this means that the three of us won't be able to compare notes after the sequel to Batman Begins comes out in 2008. That's really stink! As well as everything else that is sad about this.
