Jeffrey Walker, president of Atlassian, passed away a couple of days ago after a long, brave and truly inspiring battle against cancer. True stoicism is not something you see much of, but Jeffrey was a classic. As far as I am concerned Jeff won the fight. When you read the comments on the last radiowalker post<\/a> you can see how just what a rich legacy he left. After all, we’re all fighting cancer one way or another: who hasn’t got friends or family that have been affected? We need to be inspired to fight the fight, and cancer dude is the man.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey was more alive than most, loved to play the guitar and was always smiling. The word wry was made for him.<\/p>\n
