Greg McMullan died in a fire at his Central Virginia home on January 28. He is survived by Maya, his wife of seven years, and his stepdaughter Faeryn, who both were out of the house at the time. McMullan was a popular member of the filk community, which has rallied around Maya and is collecting donations to help her recover from losing nearly everything in the tragedy.

Update 12/5/2008: Corrected location of home, per Maya’s comment.
