I don't know if anyone here was following Jazz outside of this website, or perhaps the user base here might not be familiar with him... in which case, first, Jazz was a very old contributor to MFGG going back to the IPB days (the wiki says he joined in 2005, so an entire drinking aged person ago).
More recently however, Jazz had been struggling with a battle with cancer. I am very sad to say that he lost this battle earlier this evening.
I was debating if I should be the one sharing this information, but a lot of Jazz's closer friends and folks who used to be on MFGG don't really frequent the site anymore (admittedly, neither do I) and it just seemed appropriate that someone do. He was a big part of MFGG's growing popularity and increasing community.
He was still submitting custom sprites to here as recent as two years ago, and he kept this up for a very very long time.
As I've said in numerous other places and circles, Jazz had a very strong impact on my own art. Even outside of that, he was very nice and kindhearted person and he was always very fun to talk to about games and the like. I wished I interacted with him more than I did, but I can safely say he enriched my life nonetheless. My thoughts go out to his family and close friends in this difficult time.
