There are no words. I didn't know you well, but I thought well of you when I saw you around, and I'll miss you nonetheless. Too young, too soon. ♠PMC♠ (talk)05:50, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for all of your wonderful work on Wikipedia. It won't be the same without you. Sending love and condolences to all of your family and loved ones. Rest in Peace. Softlavender (talk) 06:14, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My God that's horrible! May his friends and family find comfort at his loss. I've taken the liberty of protecting his user page and adding a {{deceased}} tag. RickinBaltimore (talk) 23:34, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's terrible to hear :( His bots are still running now unmaintained, so I'm willing to look through the code and if I can manage it, I'm willing to take over operations and management of them. I will add WP:RIP now. Thanks for letting us all know Ed6767talk!23:49, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Awful to hear. I always appreciated his thoughtful discussion, he often had a knack for cutting to the core of a proposal. Will be sorely missed. ~ Amory(u • t • c)00:17, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What horrible news. I always got along well with Hasteur, even when we didn't agree on things. He was a good person. Fuck this virus. ReykYO!11:32, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is a sad day for Wikipedia. My hearfelt condolences to all who loved Hasteur, both here, and, more especially, in real life. Guy (help!) 13:53, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fuck me, this is terrible. I haven't interacted lately, but he was a great guy. Sad to say this is almost likely to happen to me as well if I were to get COVID. I can only hope there was no suffering.—CYBERPOWER(Chat)13:56, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hasteur and I disagreed on many things here but his dedication to the project was immeasurable. A terrible loss for Wikipedia. My condolences to Hasteur's family. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:58, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hasteur, thank you for all you've done here, and beyond. I always appreciated the passion you brought, the willingness to fight tough battles and your general attitude. As others said, Fuck Covid. Rest, those you've inspired will carry the load. Ravensfire (talk) 15:52, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My deepest sympathies to Hasteur's family and friends. The project benefited greatly from his contributions and made the community a better place. isaacl (talk) 22:11, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Mere words can hardly console Hasteur's family, but this page shows he was widely appreciated and respected by his Wikipedia family from all around the world too. He will be sadly missed. Moriori (talk) 22:23, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
While we have had our fair share of agreements and disagreements, you'll be sorely missed here. Rest in peace, Hasteur. --qedk (t愛c)15:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is a great loss for Wikipedia. I never knew you personally, but I was familiar with your work. You will be missed, Hasteur. Kurtis(talk)21:08, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for quality articles such as F. O. Oertel and Prime Prep Academy, for reviewing articles for creation, "putting it in mainspace so that editors can evaluate it", for your helpful bots which will remind us of you, for carefully worded sound advice, - we miss you, but your contributions last, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
While, to my recollection we never had an interaction, Hasteur was nevertheless someone I regularly saw around the project and I know him from his bot work. Thanks for all your contributions, Hasteur - it's such a loss that you're gone. Best wishes to your family. Acalamari11:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hearing about this news late as usual. Still doesn't lessen the shock. We're going to lose more good people before this pandemic is over. -- llywrch (talk) 23:09, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know that we ever interacted, but I certainly knew Hasteur's name and saw it regularly, which is a sign of the impact he has had on this project. His volunteering is much appreciated. Very sad to hear of his passing. — Bilorv (talk) 23:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh my god, Hasteur died of covid?! I know this was awhile ago but I'm just seeing this, and holy hell. That's extremely disturbing news. Absolutely horrible. I really have no words beyond WTF. What an unbelievable tragedy for our community. Like Carrite says, wear your damned masks people. ~Swarm~{sting}04:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
