- Nigel Derek Findley passed away suddenly on February 19, 1995, at his home in Vancouver. He is survived by his loving partner Holly Langland and his adoring family: mother Audrey, and brother Rodney. He was predeceased by his father Garland in 1967 and his grandmother Dorothy MacLachlan in 1992. Nigel was born in Venezuela in 1959 and grew up in Spain, Nigeria, the United States and England before his family moved to Vancouver in 1969. He was educated in England and at St. George's School in Vancouver. He received his BSc and BFA degrees from the University of British Columbia where he was an active member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
- In 1990, after brief careers in technical writing and marketing, he decided to pursue his true love, writing, as a full-time occupation. The literary legacy Nigel leaves behind him is great. Over the past 15 years Nigel has written over 100 books, including 12 novels, making him one of the most recognized names in the science fiction and gaming community. In addition, for the past 6 years, Nigel wrote for High Tech Office column for the newspaper Business in Vancouver. His quick wit, inquiring mind, unique turn-of-phrase and enthusiasm for life will be sorely missed by his family, his friends, his colleagues, and his readers all over the world. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
