Heath Briggs was a man not much older than I. Husband and father of five (with another on the way). I first met Heath when I began working for Totally Awesome Computers in mid-September 2001. He was a stern and somewhat crass man. He intimdated me — and even scared me a bit.

After getting to know the man it became evident that he had his vices and bad habits, just like the rest of us, but that he was a good man — and over the course of my sojourn at TAC Heath and I became good friends. In fact, of all the people I worked with at TAC, I consider Heath among one of the top few…

Heath passed away December 29, 2005. His services are tentatively scheduled for Monday, 02 January 2006.

Heath, you will be missed. Save me a place in line up there.
