Didn't this happen in April?

Well, yes, given that the article was written in May and quotes "The biggest news of the day, however, was the bombshell dropped by audience member Sapp Macintosh, who passed on the word that analytics pioneer “JLikens” had passed away last month at the far-too-young age of 28."

It's still important, and I can't go back in time a month and post it then. Nor can anyone else, apparently.
