I met him at NAB a couple of years ago when I was at the Sony booth. We talked a bit about some Vegas capabilities and the US4pro add on.

He seemed intelligent and a nice guy. He seemed awefully young to have just passed away in his sleep yes? I will be praying for his family. Please keep us updated.

I'm so sorry to hear of this. As so often happens with Internet forums, I never met him. Please pass on our condolences and has jrazz said, that is so young.

My absolute sincerest sympathies to his family. I met and spoke with him every year at NAB for the last 3 years, and enjoyed his company. I did not know him terribly well, but we got along quite well, and I always enjoyed getting to see him at the various conventions I went to. I very much appreciated his personality and very apparent passion for quality production, and I considered him a friend. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. Please pass my condolences along to his family.

His Mom says he had a massive heart attack. The Coroner reported his aorta was 100% blocked.

He was very active in local theater in this area.

As you can see from his picture he was a very fit guy. Liked to ski, but his family history ran against him. Father and grandfather both died pretty young and both from heart attacks.

He loved playing with his gadgets but he didn't much like going to his doctor. Who does?

I'll pass along your kindnesses to his family. I know they'll appreciate them.

Thanks, all.

Please pass on my condolences as well. He was not only an active contributor in this forum, and someone who was seen at NAB and loved to chat, but he also was always seeking better, different ways to accomplish tasks in video editing; Vegas specifically. He also was helpful in finding errors in my way of thinking (going back to a specific project I was working on at the time.
Very sorry to hear of his passing. He always had a big smile at the conventions.

He was very active, at one time, on the Newtek forums also... a very likeable person...

We should keep in mind that anyone of us could pass on at any moment....

&.... how will we, be remembered? "choose wisely"

I never knew him, but no matter what, dying at 42 is far too young.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Only knew him though this forum but still....

Much too young to leave this world.
My thoughts go out to his family.

Eugene W. Kosarovich will indeed be missed and the gap is left across many forums that he entered into during his professional career.

As I surveille the forums this morning, I see the tributes just keep coming with regards to those he touched. All too briefly and inadequately worded to do him justice - In addition to his craft as a boundary eliminating videographer; he had a background in electrical / electronic engineering, educated to degree level and was very active in a theatrical production company as both an actor and producer. His memorial wall/page over at facebook is just beginning to capture some of the needs of his friends to share while they start to deal with his loss. His life long friends have done him proud with what they've put together for him. Rightfully so.

Some of the forums are where he'd spent the best part of two decades explaining how to get things done and the merits of various aspects of the creative and technical elements of videography and content creation.

His vigor and guidance was listened to in such a way that his name has been used for the 'secret' codename of at least one application software development. He provided the well thought out designs and stimulation for a few developers to then create add-on products for such applications too.

I'll certainly not be forgetting him and I'll try even more now to learn from his approach. If you missed his pearls of wisdom, do read them back. There is some real value in what he has posted here and elsewhere. What else might have been?.....

We've lost such a good'n here.

Thanks Rob. I was going to post a link to his Obit in the local paper but you did a great job of conveying it in your post. If no one has an objection I'm going to copy your posts, print them and give them to his mom.

I was a regular reader of Eugene's posts on the VTNT back when I was a user of NewTek products. His posts always added value.

And I was fortunate to meet him in person, albeit briefly, at NAB a couple of years ago. What struck me most about Eugene was how enthusiastic he was about his work and the tools he used and how generous he was with his knowledge and time. Whenever he learned or discovered something, he wanted to freely share it to help others get better at what they do. His knowledge helped me on numerous occasions and I probably never thanked him enough.

I think the word enthusiasm comes from "en theos", meaning "with God". Eugene, I pray that you are now enthusiastically in God's loving arms and that your family and friends find peace in the midst of the sadness of your untimely passing.

Mark
