Ode to Denton

I don't know Denton.  But like a lot of other divers-with-compressors, we've used his website as a resource and inspiration for our own setups.  He took a LOT of time writing up detailed instructions on how he set up his impressive mixing system. 

It seems he announced the website in June of 2006, and later that month I start to see mentions of his funeral.  I'm not sure of the details what happened, but the information is out there.  I find a lot of similarities between he and I and it is interesting- and not surprising.  He would have been 41 years old this year, was a computer engineer and loved to dive and travel.  And he died while diving, apparently after a great dive, and apparently for no reason other than it was his time. 

So, not only do I feel a kinship with him as a technical person doing technical diving, but I've got another reminder of him- some of my bank bottles and hardware came from his setup.  From what was posted about him, I'm honored to be using some of his equipment in the way that he meant for it to be used.

Good Journey, Denton
