The Passing of a Legend

It's hard to put into words what Stephen Hawking has done for this world. His work took us to new echelons of understanding the cosmos, and how the universe works. But it was not only his mind that was amazing, it was also his heart. He wanted to share what he discovered with everyone. He wanted to better humanity. He once said, ‘It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.’ For a man to be this intelligent, and understand complexities that a handful of other people on the planet can comprehend, he still realized that it all comes back to each other.

Although Hawking was an unashamed atheist, I have seen many Christians say that he has inspired them. They saw his good deeds and kind heart, and his attitude that he did these things, not for some reward in the afterlife, but just because it was the right thing to do.

So wherever you have moved on to good doctor, you will never be forgotten. Your name is placed in the halls of history, and you will continue to inspire countless others through your work and kindness.
