It is with great sadness that I learned on Tuesday that one of our Steem community members @wolfhart passed away.
I’m deeply saddened by this news because, in addition to the great human values and positive energy we had in common, @wolfhart was a great supporter of the SteemitBoard project. He sent us so many kind replies each time he received a notification about his progress.
Only a few days ago, he told us of his great joy at having become a dolphin:

@wolfhart was a very active and supportive member of our community and I was really impressed to see the energy and kindness he deployed to keep in touch with his Steemians friends while he battled cancer and was on a hospital bed.
This picture taken from his very last post says it all!
In memoriam
I got informed of @wolfhart’s death by @brittandjosie and while we shared our sadness, she wrote:
I don’t know if steemitboard has a posthume badge but I would love one for him
Without waiting, the whole @steemitboard team mobilized to realize this magnificent idea.
From now on, the Steem ecosystem will have a special member in addition to the usual redfishes, minnows, dolphins, orcas and whales!
This is my little gift to @wolfhart and his family. I hope they will appreciate this initiative and will find some comfort in going through these difficult times. Thank you @brittandjosie for this brilliant idea.
As any information in the blockchain, @wolfhart will stay in our minds and in our hearts... forever!
Farewell my friend!
My condolences to @wolfhart's family. I did not know him, but it is a shame to hear of the death of a Steemian and also a shame about his cancer. I know a few people who died from cancer. They always seem to be so full of life and so happy in life despite their illness. I wish all the best to his family and friends.
Although I did not know @wolfhart at all it is still sad to hear of someone in this community I am part of has passed away. I offer my condolences to his family and others who were close to him.

Thanks for your kind words @moz333
Rest in Peace 😢 May God bless his soul.
Always sad when someone passes. I did not know them, but RIP. Hope they are in a better place. (There a typo in the second paragraph btw - reads: wodlfart instead of Wolfhart - normally would not say anything, but being a memorial and all etc.,) its always sad when you hear of someone passing away. It really brings life into perspective, and how precious it really is. How great it is to be able to engage with life, and read people's post. Sometimes I forget that there is someone behind the blog, and sometimes they are going through some real hard stuff in life.
Thank you @theouterlight. And yes we sometimes forget there is/are people(s) behind posts and avatars.
And what makes Steem really different from other social networks is that there is a will from its users to expand this community experience to real life.
See how many meetups are organized all around the world. Not talking about SteemFest...
PS: Typos have been fixed. Thanks
Aw, that's such a nice tribute. Great work, y'all.
Thank you @phoenixwren
He truly will be missed!
He's in so many communities, and affected so many of us.
As we say, Fair Winds and Following Seas!
For sure, we will all miss him.
Thank you @bluefinstudios.
I didn't know him, but I went over and read his posts upon hearing of the passing. May his soul rest in peace. Part of his legacy - which is here on the Steem Blockchain - will live forever.
He was, and still is, a great source of inspiration for us on Steem.
Thank you @adetorrent
A fine and noble tribute to Wolfhart. I didn't know of him, but read some of his posts from just a short week ago. Obviously a man of courage, love and humor. Those traits are rare these days, and make any person who has them a hero in my book. Well done, sir!
Condolences to friends and family and know that your loved one, even bed ridden and sick, could inspire those who never knew him...a wonderful talent and gift. RIP.
Wonderful words @matthias-green. Thank you.
This was a very unique and fantastic post @steemitboard and it's an excellent idea to create that badge as a memorial for @wolfhart. That is a perfect way to honor him @brittandjosie
Thank you @jamerussell.
As mentioned in the post, it was @brittandjosie's idea. We just made it the best we could.
He would have absolutely loved this badge. It is absolutely great that you guys did this.
Thank you @tryskele. It was obvious for us to do it.
Rest in peace @wolfhart🙏💐

Death is a bitter pirouette of which the dead do not keep memories, but the living ones. Sadness is the heaviest burden you can carry, especially if it is full of a lot of happy memories. More heartfelt condolences to your family and friends. friends
what a lovely way to pay respects. Good job 💜
