Blake Krikorian, longtime and much-beloved Silicon Valley entrepreneur, died on 8/3 [August 3]. While the cause of his death is still unconfirmed, he was apparently struck by a heart attack while surfing in the San Francisco area.
The news of his passing has slowly been making its way this morning through the tech network that he was a big part of. Krikorian was only 48.
Considered one of tech's savviest execs with regard to video and media distribution, Krikorian was also one of its most ebullient characters and was never shy about expressing his opinion about anything.
Krikorian is survived by his wife Cathy and two daughters. His death leaves them, and all of Silicon Valley really, devastated.

by the amount of people that die from heart issues, you would think everyone in positions of power would be pushing into biotech to make permanent artificial hearts a reality. seriously, it's not like it's even a distant technology and it would likely extend the lives of most people. but hey, if you think the next social media doodad is more important, ignore the issue and die earlier.
