We were saddened as Brian Lyons passed away on Labor Day in a motorcycle
accident. Brian spent his life building communities and organizations that
help us develop better software. One of these communities was EPF. As
component lead for OpenUP, he was one of the key leaders in the EPF project.
His advice was always sought after, and his energy kept us going. Humor was
his trademark, and he embodies why people are attracted to open source
projects; the ability to interact with other bright people in a fun and
inspiring environment.
Brian was co-founder, CEO and CTO of Number Six Software, and co-author of
UML 2 Toolkit. He is survived by his wife, Tamara, and his son Asher
Francis. Our prayers are with him and his family in this difficult time.
For those that would like to give back, just as Brian gave to this
community, his family has requested that donations be made to the Brian
Lyons Scholarship Fund at the University of Maryland, his Alma Mater.
Checks should be made payable to:
University of Maryland College Park Foundation.
The memo portion of the check should indicate: Brian Lyons Scholarship
Checks should be mailed to:
University of Maryland
Scholarship Office
4114 Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center
College Park, Maryland 20742
