This is heartbreaking news to share; our beloved president, Chris Struble, has passed away.

We at the Michigan Hemingway Society are devastated by his loss. Chris’s brilliance was noted by so many in the Hemingway community, but it was his kindness, compassion, sense of humor, and huge heart that people remembered most of all.

Chris was open about his struggles with mental illness and wanted the stigma and shame around it to end. Call or text 988 if you are in crisis; for a list of resources, see the comments.
