It is with great sadness I’ve learned that Pat Carlucci died this morning.

The following is from Pat’s wife Dawn via Pat’s DA:

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Patrick Carlucci passed away this morning after a 5 year battle with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family and friends.

I want to take this moment to thank everyone for their prayers, donations, and support for Pat and his family during this difficult time. Pat touched so many people through his art, his appearances at shows, and through the kindness he expressed to everyone. He was a very talented artist and will be greatly missed!

My family and I send our love to each and every one of you! I will post details regarding his funeral arrangements some time tomorrow afternoon.

Best regards,

Dawn Carlucci
(Patrick Carlucci’s wife)

P.S. Update: Pat Carlucci funeral arrangements

If you haven’t already heard, great guy and awesome artist Pat Carlucci is terminally sick with Lymphoma.  This really sucks… comics doesn’t really have health care/medical insurance (unless you’re in the Big Two), so if you could, any donations to Pat’s Paypal would be appreciated: darthcrypt1@aol.com

What can I say about Pat that everyone doesn’t already know?  I first met him at one of the conventions- our booths were in the same area and we dug each other’s work.  Stayed in touch via ComicSpace and eventually on DA when I rejoined.  My best wishes to him, his wife, and his family.  I hope he pulls through and we can hang out at one of the shows this year.

P.S. Artist Chad Fuller is also having a rough go right now.  Stop by his page, too and show some love.
