† Theunis de Jong (1966–2020)

That's so sad, have been ready Ng lots his posts and tips

I'm saddened to hear this news. The InDesign scripting community is made up of a small select group, of which he was an amazing contributor. He will be missed. Condolenses to his family and friends.

Oh my i am shocked Jongware's scripts helps me a lot. He teaches us and solve some sophisticated code

I just worked this out and I'm shocked and saddened. We all know how meaningful any help can be - and then there's Theunis de Jong with his ^.+?: - changing my world for the better. This is a loss. His simple comments, kind regard for people on forums was always direct and refreshing.

Best wishes to his family and friends, and to all his students especially - let's carry on in his style.

Thanks Marc for the thoughtful and moving words on the passing of Theunis as well as the tribute site.

Theunis is a great example of having discovered his gift early and then giving it to others.  In fact, there are many like him on this very post.  I don't know if it's possible to fully express the meaning of that quality a person.

Thank you so much, Marc.

Just discovered this thread after a long absence from the forums and it saddens me to find that Jongware has been taken from us. He was a generous and thoughtful friend to everyone and as everyone else has said will be greatly missed.

Totally gutted to learn of his passing. He was,  I think, my all-time favorite person I've met on the Internet, ever.

I wonder if it's out of place to ask Those Who Maintain These Forums to give him a posthumous "LEGEND" tag? 

He will be missed.  A sad loss for everyone

What a loss. And not just for his age, and the years that he may have otherwise had to enrich us further with his knowlege and perspective. But especially now, when information exchange online is so often embroiled in tribalism and negativity. May his contributions and example both live on, and may we each do our best to honor them.
