Nick Jones, the founder and lead developer of PHP-Fusion passed away on January 4th, 2011. All of us here as well as those who knew and worked with him in the wider open source community are deeply saddened by his loss. He was a truly genuine talent and great teacher. Many people who are now developers in their own right owe their skills to Nick's attitude to sharing everything he did.

I have just got to know about this sad news and my heart has become so sorrowful about it.
Your great work, simplicity and reliability of php-fusion helps me and my friends to start our site and community so easy that none of any other projects can.
It is very sad that the greatest people pass away. Our world became so much poorer without you.
Please accept my deepest condolences.
Condolences to family and friends of Nick Jones. I found PHP-Fusion on a random search and never looked back. Even getting personal feed back from the man himself. You were and still are inspiration. R.I.P xxx
