Breaks My Heart: Concept Artist behind Fallout 3/Skyrim has Passed Away

Man, this sucks. Every time I read about the world loosing a talent it honestly makes me sad. But this hurts like no other. I love Fallout 3, it just might be my favorite game of all time. A big part of that love was due to Mr. Adamowicz's art design. A fellow artist had this to say about Adam:
"Earlier today we learned that Adam Adamowicz, one of the main concept artists behind Fallout 3, Skyrim and other Bethesda titles, passed away today. It was silently announced, but I'd like to shine some light on Adam because he was an anomaly in the game industry, a veritable one-man conceptual machine, who unlike his contemporary counterparts, did a majority of his work in non digital mediums. Fallout 3 was pretty much visually designed from the ground up by one humble man who got little to no recognition, nor sought it.
For those who are unaware, I also work in the video game industry as a concept artist and often sought inspiration from what other conceptual designers were doing in the industry. Back when Fallout 3 was released, it came with a making of DVD showcasing how the game was built from the ground up. When Adam's art pit showed up in the video, with his own hand drawn art covering every inch of space from the ground up in his cubicle I was nothing short of blown away, and filled with inspiration."
Rest in peace dear sir.
