Jean-Luc Picard hasn’t left us. The man who brought him to life has. And what a remarkable gift he gave us.
Farewell, Sir Patrick Stewart. Your journey will live on for every generation to come.

This is my tribute to one of my heroes, whose work has inspired me for much of my life and will continue to do so for the rest of it.
Farewell and calm waters captain.
Thank you for the gifts you gave us.
The sad part of me is in knowing another familiar face in my life is gone.
I grew up in the 90s watching TNG and it was Patrick Stewarts performance that made it so captivating, fun and enjoyable. He was a Shakespearean actor who brought so much emotion, energy and honesty to the show that it made it feel real and other worldly to young people. I didn’t know it at the time, all I knew was that I just thoroughly enjoyed watching the show without really knowing why. I didn’t fully understand why until later in life.
And in watching him over the years, he became a very familiar part of my life and I am sure it felt the same for so many other people. The sadness is not in losing a character from a show or a movie … it’s in losing a familiar face that felt like they were part of your circle of family or friends.
My condolences to you all.
