This morning, on June 19th, 2021, we lost the wonderful Draconis to a stroke.

A presence in the furry community for over 20 years, Draconis had touched the lives of so many furries and will be deeply missed.
I had known of Draconis since first photographing him in his Jugular Jaguar fursuit, back at Anthrocon 2002.
We did not frequent many of the same cons until he became a regular in recent years at AnthrOhio and Mephit Furmeet.
It was at this time that I got to know him better, spending time talking with him during those periods when there were few fursuits out and about to photograph. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was always willing to share his experiences. Looking back, I now wish I had spent more time chatting with him.
In 2017, he started wearing his tiger fursuit, Chevy, and at both AnthrOhio and MFM, he would grab me and drag me around the con area (both of these cons have nice outdoor locations), doing photoshoots for upwards of an hour each. It was such a delight being able to get photos outside of the con itself and I will cherish the time we spent on these shoots.
I don't know what these cons will be like in the future without him being there, but they will be a little bit lessened because of this.
R.I.P. Draconis, and may you find your furry place in Heaven.
Thank you for everything you have done for furries and the furry community.

He was a true inspiration, may he Rest In Peace. <3
I never knew of him until now and my only regret is never knowing how amazing he was. May he rest in peace
Thanks Rats...think this reflects every facet of our furry diamond *hugsya*
RIP, glad he contributed so much. Didn't know him until now but he genuinely sounds like an inspiration.
I'm at a loss for words, I've many fond memories of talking and hanging out with Draconis at various cons and back at his print shop with Keefur.
May we calibrate the life of Draconis by remembering all the good he did.
Your tribute is one of the best I have seen. Well done {pat on the back}.

Pretty sure that's AnthrOhio 2019, and me on the far left.

This photo was from AnthrOhio 2018, and unfortunately I'm horrible at IDing partial people from behind. *laughs*
What a wonderful tribute collage! The news was truly devastating, but memories like the ones you've managed to capture all help to keep his legacy going❤
he was one of the best. one i remember fondly. tonight i will remember him. and for all nights
I remember playing Werewolf with him at Fangcon 2014 and how was doing his darndest to get me lynched each round only for it to backfire on him somehow and we'd both end up laughing pretty hard about it.
I never did get the chance to meet him. He seemed luck such a fun guy to be around! My condolences *hugs*
I DID get to meet him a few times, I would not say that I knew him BUT
He was fun and seemed like a decent guy. In any event yet another amazing tribute rat man, well done!

I'm so glad I was able to put Chevy back together for him and replace the missing feet. After Calamity Cougar disappeared, it gave him a fursuit to wear those final years.
We had just spoken on the phone a couple of weeks ago, and we were looking forward to seeing each other at MFM and were planning to have an evening meal together with
while we were there.

What a sweet tribute to such a great guy! I only got to meet and talk to him once, I saw him a few times wondering around, but I was always busy or suiting myself.
He will be greatly missed. Thanks again for the tribute.
