UPDATE BY LIZA SABATER :
For my eulogies, please go to Steve you are one of the reasons why I am still blogging [1] and Just so you understand how important Steve Gilliard is to my work in the blogosphere [2]

I didn't know Steve Gilliard, but he was a big name in blogging when I was just barely poking around wondering what Daily Kos was all about. Two diaries on Daily Kos cover his death better than I can:
Steve Gilliard has died [3], by Rosebuddear
and
Steve Gilliard - R.I.P. [4] by Meteor Blades
This photo from Campus Progress [5]:

Once heard someone say of Gilliard an utmost complement: There are those who bullshit and those who don't and Steve was one of those who don't. To me, that is a great compliment in this world.
