This is a terrible tragedy and our hearts go out to his family and friends. He was a truly incredible person whose work with PyMOL changed the face of molecular modeling. He also had a huge personal impact on our community. He was dedicated to science and dedicated to making the world a better place through his example and by the personal way he interacted with everyone.
When I was considering starting the Rosetta Design Group a few years back, I asked Warren for some advice by email. He promptly called and we talked for a few hours. After our conversation I reflected on how much his call and advice meant to me, and hoped that I would act as he did in the same situation.
May his example, memory, and code live on forever.
