Our Noel Sheppard passed away yesterday (Friday) morning at about 5:00 AM. Say a prayer for the soul of a man we'll all miss professionally, and many, many of us will miss personally as well. Noel was not just a force of nature, he was a very good man.
How quickly this all happened. Just two months ago, Noel wrote about suddenly getting cancer at 53 called "Cancer's Ray of Hope." Nine days ago, he wrote us and said he was interested in writing about his "progress" -- and he put "progress" in quotes. We were all wishing for better news, and really couldn't imagine this was a battle that would end this way.
Noel joined us and was introduced to us by Matt Sheffield at the founding of NewsBusters in 2005, and he became our Associate Editor. It must be said that no blogger here was more prolific and more popular. We'll have more to say in the coming days.
Requiescat in pace.

Cancer is wicked.
My prayers for his sweet soul and his grieving family.
Lord, hear our prayers.

To: kristinn
Wow. So sad, so young. And so many of his Newsbusters articles posted here over the years.
May his soul be greeted by his Lord and his family find comfort at this very sad time.

I agree with you. No, I don’t spend enough time investing in God. It’s a question worthy of thought isn’t it.
Thanks HTR.

Did not know him personally but he was very helpful to the mini-drudges of the world. He would always give a HatTip to info found by Freepers and helped me get some stories up the chain (to Malkin then to Drudge)
RIP Noel!

"One more thing, and you would probably know, was Noel a FReeper?" So many stories mentioned FR. Would be surprised if he was not a member.

To that I’d add: He was a rare man, a journalist.

It was a pleasure reading his reporting on the Internet. I will miss his crisp, concise ways. His wit was fantastic. He will be missed. May he be greeted at the gates of heaven with happiness.

Lord Jesus Christ, rest the soul of Thy servant Noel with the saints and comfort his friends and his family.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

RIP Noel Sheppard.
This is the Shep I wish Fox News had hired.
You fought the good fight, bro. We'll pick up your sword and carry on.

One of the few names that I thought of when I thought of Newsbusters. What a terrible shame.
