He was well-known online for the request module — a name every developer seemed to know.

I first met him in person at playnode.io 2012 in Korea. Despite the language barrier, he patiently listened to my broken English and took the time to answer with kindness and sincerity. That was my first impression of him — and it stayed with me.

He taught not just through code, but through the way he treated others.

Rest in peace.
