Madison Blue Fatality

Have they released the name of this diver yet?
I've met quite a few people up in cave country and on this forum and it has been on my mind that I may actually know this person.
I never found a news story on this which is actually a good thing come to think of it.
Just wondering. I mean no disrespect.
My sincerest condolences to all family and friends.

PM sent.

If anybody knows that it's okay to release the name publicly, let me know.

Thanks for the PM, Russell.

I have seen it disclosed eslewhere publicly, so I am guessing it is now okay.

Dean would come over to Columbus from Macon every week or so and stop by the shop, as he did our hydros for us. I just talked to him a few days ago, as I have twelve cylinders soon to be out of date, and he was going to make sure he could get them all done at once so I wouldn't be without doubles for much time.

I never dove with him, but over the past five years I have run into him at Jackson Blue several times. He was a VERY nice guy.

He's the first friend I've lost to diving, although diving didn't kill him, a heart attack did.
