Two days ago, the wife of podcaster and author Tee Morris died unexpectedly. In addition to the devastating loss, Tee now faces the challenge of raising his daughter as a single dad.

I spoke to Tee on the evening of his wife’s death. Despite the incalculable loss, the eternal optimism Tee is known for was still there, in his voice. He was deeply moved by the support the community had shown for him, and appreciative.

We cannot change yesterday, but we can help ensure Tee and his daughter have a brighter tomorrow. Please help them by contributing to a fund that will help cover funeral costs, and create a trust for his daughter. Give generously, if you can.

    My jaw is on the floor, and my heart sank with it. I was in touch with Tee just before CES and was so busy there, while I saw CC Chapman’s tweet about someone’s wife passing, I just now saw this post to find it was Tee. Tee is a tremendous talent, and a wonderful, giving person, and I cannot begin to imagine the scope of his loss. My deepest sympathies to him and his daughter, and the rest of the family… I am so, so, saddened and sorry to hear this news.

    Thanks so much for your most fitting words about Tee and the situation he family faces. It means a lot to put the word out to the whole of the Beta Clone Army. *salute*
