Raphael Higino was a long-time contributor to GNOME's Brazillian translation effort and was very passionate about GNOME. He was a very dependable member of the team and was always willing to lend a guiding hand to new contributors. He had made a number of very good friends in the community. Raphael passed away last year in a motorcycle accident at only 24 years of age. His dedication, hard work, and companionship will always be cherished by the community and all those whose lives he touched.
