Stephen Blackwell (aka: "ChefStefano" on this forum and many others) passed away last Thursday. We got the sad news from his mom.

As some of you already know, Chef was battling a rare form of cancer the last couple of years.

Chef was originally from San Diego where he first started kayak fishing many years ago. He also live and worked in Monterey, CA where many of us up north got to know and love him. Many of us considered him a great friend and one of the bravest guys we have ever met. The way he dealt with his illness was truly inspirational to all of us.

Chef... we're gonna miss ya brother!!!

Here's a memorial thread on the NCKA website:
