In Memoriam, WaywardPlane.

1966-2021

a flag with the personal emblem of WaywardPlane, my deceased roommate, flown off the side of a boat. the Vulcan rocket is seen on the pad in the background on shore.
A cardstock urn bedecked with assorted stickers featuring Wayward's logo sits on the rear step of a boat, in front of an outboard engine. A laptop playing a video memorial is seen beside, though the screen is too faint to make out.

Wayward Plane fouled the Eastern Test Range one last time, on January 7th, 2024, roughly two and a half years after their passing, ahead of the launch of ULA’s Vulcan Rocket, with their closest friends in attendance. They left behind their home, their cat, their car, LaunchRats, and a wealth of caring friends when they passed.

If you never had the chance to meet them, WESH 2 gave them an opportunity to tell their story right towards the end of their life.

Welp.

Hi. I’m Wayward. I’m currently dying of cancer. That Twitter thread is here:

There’s a GoFundMe, to help with associated expenses – that can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/waywards-mission-to-beat-cancer

I can also be found on Paypal, Venmo and CashApp, and if that sounds mercenary… well, you’re right, and I’m sorry, but dying is unexpectedly expensive, and every little bit does help enormously.


I have two albums and an EP on Apple Music and all the other music stores, as well as Spotify and Soundcloud. Hoping to get a fourth one out, but may not have time.

I used to stream on Twitch, am trying to do more of that, too, but may not have time for that, either.

I’ll be on Twitter to the bitter end, though; you can always find me there… for as long as “always” lasts.

Oh, and this was the best day of my life:

Clear skies and safe landings, y’all.

-Wayward
