This has probably been asked and answered, but my Search-fu is weak today.
Without (re-)opening any controversies, which Dopers have died? I know there are more, but right now I can only think of:
Persephone
poohpah chalupa
Padeye
While I don’t think anyone ever made an announcement, sadly I think we’ve also lost the poster indecisive1 since she stopped posting shortly after her comments in
in this thread. 
I remembered her posts, and did a cursory google on her email early this summer, wondering what had happened. There was a fund raiser for her in June, or July, somewhere in there. I know another poster, who has met her, talked to her this fall, but I am not sure what is going on now.
Damnit, she died.
I don’t think she’s dead, but it concerns me that SurrenderDorothy’s last post is this.
Hope she’s okay.
He hadn’t really been very active on the board, but Dirty Devil passed away in Sept. 2003. He was my husband’s best friend and an all around good guy.
And Ayesha passed away recently.
Palikia passed away recently.
Her last activity was only a few days ago. She’ll be fine.
Who could forget WallyM7?
I was going to post about Ayesha. This July 29th just won’t be the same. And we lost her mom Mimi a while back, too.
boo_boo_bear claimed that he had six months to live in 2003.
thatDDperson claimed to have terminal cancer
A Dr. Watson, who was previously known as Watson & Crick (or was it Crick & Watson) had an interesting, uh, “demise,” the story presented being that he was assassinated by some foreign enemy agents while on a safari, shortly after WallyM7 was crushed like a can of pineapples.
There was a guy up in the PNW somewhere, my age – and I can’t think of his name and it’s driving me crazy. It had “elf” in it, but “elf” was a reference to the German word for “eleven,” not to the spritely creature. Anyway, he died sometime fairly recently.
Faking death, like Wally did, doesn’t count.
Whoa. I missed something. Someone link me to this info, so as to not further disrupt this thread, please?
Here. To say the least, it’s not a fun topic.
A more complete obit
I feel a bit guilty. I met her in person, but did not keep track of her status.
Brian
G’kar was killed recently, in Iraq.
He wasn’t a Doper though, was he?
Right, just an acquaintance of a mod.
And since I think there’s not much more to add to this thread, I would just one more anecdote about WallyM7.
Some time after the “demise” of WallyM7 (months, perhaps a year), a new poster named (I, think) “wally” signed up with one of those “Hi, I’m new here” posts. One of the first responses was by a former mod, who said (and the visual I got was of a small, frustrated, angry child, eyes about tear, and mouth tightly contorted), ‘You better change your name! That is too close to a board member who recently died, and we thought a lot about him.’
That thread is gone, and has been for some time. Perhaps “wally” was a sock, or just a drive-by board member. I don’t have any reason that it had any connection to WallyM7, other than he was fishing for a reaction. I don’t think the choice of name, and the introductory thread was coincidental.
Eh, I’d still rather not go there.
Anyway, this is what I have:
**Ayesha
Dirty Devil
indecisive1
Mimi
Padeye
Palikia
Persephone
poohpah chalupa
