RIP Daniel Bristot de Oliveira

[Posted June 25, 2024 by corbet]

We have just received the sad news of the passing of Daniel Bristot de Oliveira at far too young an age. He was a strong contributor to the core kernel and associated realtime infrastructure, and always a joyful presence in person; he will be deeply missed.

One of the nicest members of the community

I cannot say enough about him so I won't even try to articulate what a great person he was. Just a wonderful colleague and an incredible engineer. I'm stunned he has passed at such a young age. We're all less without him.

RIP Daniel

I know I am not going to be alone in expressing my disbelief and major sorrow to hear this. I have been trying to process it most of the day, without much success. Daniel was (and is! at least in my heart and mind) a wonderful, joyous person, with an infectious smile and an incredible mind. Always enthusiastic and inquisitive. Whip smart, too. Hard to believe I will not see him at the next conference or three. He will be missed—and then missed again :(

Daniel was always great to chat with about any kind of topic at Plumbers and elsewhere. Very approachable fellow. He was brilliant as an engineer and had a knack for building community.

You will be missed Daniel, by the RT crowd and everyone else.

oh my god. oh no.

Daniel was a very good friend of mine. He was such a great person: smart, witty and extremely funny. He was only 37 and had so many plans for the future. I am gutted. Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.
