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.

    Where is the "-1, douchebag" mod? I concur this guy's death has probably not rocked the valley, but no need to be such an asshat about it.
