What a terrible tragedy he is a very creative artist and I'm sure his dear family will miss him. May he rest in peace.

Always sad to hear of death but when it's tethered to something you hold dear, it hits closer to home Sad

You and your talent will be missed, RIP

Wow. My mom had a friend who died similarly a few years ago, except he was on a motorcycle with his wife. Condolences to his family.

Damn, rest in peace. The logos he designed are great. And 42 is so young...

What really sucks is I know what windstorm this is. I live in Washington too, but I feel like it wasn't as bad here where I live (in South Hill), and my neighborhood is surrounded by trees. My power didn't even go out.

The lights barely flickered up here in Mount Vernon. Hearing that someone died is always sad, but the news hits especially hard when they're a local. And when they died so young. RIP Sad

Unfortunate to hear. Thank you for having an impact on our child/adulthood. I hope your family and friends can get through this tough time.

We were having problems over here in Edmonds, but nothing as bad as that.

I remember seeing this on the news, though, but they hadn't ID'd him yet.

It's totally heartbreaking seeing someone die so prematurely, particularly when family is involved. Sad

May Mr. Medalle rest in peace. He is among the many people that made the adventure of Pokémon a thrilling experience.
