Tweeted yesterday by his daughter Rhianna:

 

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

 

Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

 

The End.

 

Terry Pratchett, 28 April 1948 – 12 March 2015.

I was not familiar so I had to look him up. I'm not sure how I missed him over the years.

 

Nice article here.

I love his work (my nickname is the French for Rincewind), we have lost a great author.

I read every single book he wrote. He got me into learning english when I was younger (him and Magic The Gathering cards:P)

Obviously with my nickname I'm a fan. Read just about all his books after a friend introduced me to them when I was about fifteen. Genuinely gutted to hear of his death a few days ago. He was a great humorist and humanist and will be missed. R.I.P.

 

DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH.

The sun goes down upon the Ankh,

And slowly, softly fades -

Across the Drum; the Royal Bank;

The River-Gate; the Shades.

A stony circle's closed to elves;

And here, where lines are blurred,

Between the stacks of books on shelves,

A quiet 'Ook' is heard.

A copper steps the city-street

On paths he's often passed;

The final march; the final beat;

The time to rest at last.

He gives his badge a final shine,

And sadly shakes his head -

While Granny lies beneath a sign

That says: 'I aten't dead.'

The Luggage shifts in sleep and dreams;

It's now. The time's at hand.

For where it's always night, it seems,

A timer clears of sand.

And so it is that Death arrives,

When all the time has gone...

But dreams endure, and hope survives,

And Discworld carries on.
