dragonmount.com reports that the master has died.

It is with great sadness that I tell you that the Dragon is gone. RJ left us today at 2:45 PM. He fought a valiant fight against this most horrid disease. In the end, he left peacefully and in no pain. In the years he had fought this, he taught me much about living and about facing death. He never waivered in his faith, nor questioned our God’s timing. I could not possibly be more proud of anyone. I am eternally grateful for the time that I had with him on this earth and look forward to our reunion, though as I told him this afternoon, not yet. I love you bubba.

Our beloved Harriet was at his side through the entire fight and to the end. The last words from his mouth were to tell her that he loved her.

Thank each and everyone of you for your prayers and support through this ordeal. He knew you were there. Harriet reminded him today that she was very proud of the many lives he had touched through his work. We’ve all felt the love that you’ve been sending my brother/cousin. Please keep it coming as our Harriet could use the support.

Jason will be posting funeral arrangements.

My sincerest thanks.

Peace and Light be with each of you,

Wilson
Brother/Cousin

He will be missed. I personally feel like I have lost a good friend whom I had never met. His epic Wheel of Time Series is so vivid and sweeping and detailed that it is itself a reality and always a joy to read. There will never be another like him. Not in this life or the next.

May he rest in peace, knowing that he changed the course of an entire world with his imagination alone. His death feels like a physical blow to those who love him, but we can all thank the creator that he was here at all.
