Chip often makes his way into my head despite all the time that has passed. I was thinking about him in Reno this weekend. There was a sculpture that was originally in the desert at Burning Man the year the two of us went (a first for both of us!) As I sat on it, I thought Chip sat on this too!
I found this lovely photo of the two of us this week from a staff all hands event in San Francisco and it made me smile.

There are no words to express how much Chip was loved and cherished in my life. I will miss you forever, Chip! I am grateful for the memories we had at WMF and outside of the office, on our playa adventures, and long chats over beers. Our last visit, after your first surgery, was incredibly special and it makes me so happy that you met Noah and got to hold him close. We will cherish Mr. Bear forever.
You are loved. You are missed deeply. I will value our time, our words, and our memories forever. Love Love Love forever, Mel <3

I just learned of this news and am in shock and grief. Like many in this guest book, I met Chip because we worked together at the Wikimedia Foundation. I can also attest to his work ethic -- he cared about the reliability of the tools that his colleagues used to do their work, and he was that reliable himself, ready at a moment's notice to take on new challenges. If anything, he was too reticent to speak up about his own frustrations. I was glad to see him grow professionally, to take on new responsibility and manage others, and I'm glad he was able to touch so many lives in his time on earth. He was a maintainer and a keeper and a maker of things, in a world that needs more such people. He will be in my thoughts and my prayers.

Chip and I worked together at the Wikimedia Foundation. We had many interactions whether it be fixing my laptop's latest problem, or helping me find some peace and quiet by helping set up a quiet room with a noise canceller. He was a hard working, passionate and wonderfully nice guy. I fondly remember the time I sent him a private message about an issue with my WiFi and he was there almost instantly! He showed up with a Python script he'd written and was excited to finally be able to solve the mystery that was plaguing the office and be the hero yet again! Outside work, we danced on a beach in Hong Kong together and both experienced Burning Man for the first time in the same year. I showed up at his camp a day after he was gone, so I never got to see him out there in the desert - but we enjoyed sharing stories on our return.
Despite all the interactions I had with him at work, I started to spend more time with Chip near the end of his tenure at Wikimedia. I found much in common with him. We were of similar ages, both full of wanderlust and keen to enjoy life to the full.
We used to go for drinks after work on Fridays to Oakland. I remember talking to him one late Friday evening as I walked alone with him to get the BART home. We were walking near Latham Square in Oakland. He was passionately talking about how proud he was to live in the Bay Area. He was actively taking an interest in all his surroundings and relishing the opportunity to soak himself up in the history.
The last time we met up he'd just started his new job. We bumped into each other in a small bar in Chinatown, San Francisco. He was happy. He was much less stressed. He wasn't sure if he'd stay at his new job long, WMF was hard to follow he said. We talked about travel and his positive attitude was infectious.
I'll always remember his smile. It had a cheekiness to it, like someone who had found the secret on how to be happy. I'm going to remember Chip, especially that smile....

Dear Lori and Chuck,
I am so heartbroken over Chip's death, and I can't imagine the hurt that you're feeling.
Along with a number of the other signers of this guest book, I worked with Chip at Wikimedia. I was there for just the last year and a half of his time at the organization, but he's one of the people that made it the home for me that it still is today.
Chip's love for the work - from the day to day, to the people, to the mission, to our communities - shone through in every interaction that I had with him. It's amazing how little many of us had to think about IT needs because of his support and guidance. He truly went above and beyond in every conceivable way. We were so, so lucky to have him.
On a personal level, as so many others have said, I'm grateful to have connected with Chip. He always had time for a story, a joke, a chat. We spent lunches talking about all manner of things outside of work. After he left the office, I hoped we'd connect again in some offline adventure.
I was sad to lose him from our hallways and I have (and will continue to) miss him tremendously.

Lori, Chuck, Andrew, John, Betty and Wally,
I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful son, brother and grandson. I know well the hurt such a loss brings and I wish I could say "eventually you get over it." But God does help you manage it, perhaps for the sake of your other two children. Hopefully, He also gives you wonderful friends to listen to you when you need to talk or cry. I had that in your family and other W.E. friends and I love you all for that. If ever you need a shoulder, I hope you will use mine. Love, Nell

I got to know Chip because our last names were very close in the alphabet, so in addition to 3 years of homeroom together at SLUH, we often sat near each other in our classes. It would be impossible to count the number of times he put a smile on my face in one way or another.
He was kind, thoughtful, selfless, funny and so smart. I consider myself so lucky to have known him.
I'm sending warm thoughts and deep condolences to his family and friends.

I am thinking of your family today. For me Chip will always be 17, wearing his RadioShack uniform, chattering about the SLUH newspaper, loving the new Ben Folds' album (especially Fred Jones part 2). Wise beyond his years, he would take me to take me to Coffee Cartel, Left Bank Books and to see architecture all over the city. We attended three proms together and shared many memories at St. Clare. Chip changed my perspective on so many things. He loved his brothers and parents so much. I wish I could be at St. Clare to celebrate his life with you all today.

We are so sorry to hear about Chip's passing! He was such a sweet boy!
Chuck was such a great coach and Adam and Chip were buddies!
We cannot fathom the pain you are experiencing and pray that Jesus will wrap his loving arms around you and help you through this awful time. We will pray for your family and please know how sorry you are for your loss.
Sincerely,
Mark and Michelle Shukwit and family

While I have not seen Chip since he played basketball on my husband's team with my son, Mike, Chip was a kid that always had a smile on his face, eager to engage in any way he could for the good of the team. He put others first, while he quietly observed and contributed in his gentle matter. His family, likewise is a gentle, loving, caring family. He was well loved and respected by all. He made a difference in people's lives the short time he was here on earth. The battle has been fought! Rest well Chip in Gods' loving hands.

Deubner Family and Friends,
I'm very saddened to hear about Chip. I had several classes with him at SLUH and always enjoyed talking to him. Such a friendly and genuinely nice guy. The world has lost one of the good ones with his passing.

Oh Lori my heart breaks for you and your family. We have been following Chip's progress here at ARC and all of us feeling a mother's pain right along with you. I just read about him and what a spectacular man he seemed to be. I'm happy you were blessed with him for the years he spent with you and that he is at peace. Hugs, Lisa

Dear Lori and Chuck,
I want you to know how deeply sorry I was to hear about Chip's death. Like so many of my colleagues at WMF have also written, Chip was one of the first people I worked with. I count that as a gift. Chip helped me to navigate the tech side of our organization, including some of the more intangible cultural aspects. He was always by my side when I needed his help, and he was quick, responsive, and unfailingly kind. I always enjoying seeing him, and always was happy to see him online, too. In person, he'd always give a high five and a warm smile. Online, he was always around to help out, even when I accidentally contacted him instead of going through the ticketing service, which he would very kindly point out to me.
Over the years, I got to know Chip in a number of capacities. We worked together on a group called the "cabal" that dealt with challenges and creative ideas that came up in our work place. I saw his brilliance as he helped the WMF bring on board a tool for collaborative decision-making called Loomio. When he brought the team behind it into the office, we were all grateful, and I could see how proud he was of the work he had done to set it all up. He continued to promote the tool (which worked well for us) in a variety of settings.
I saw his taste for design shine through when we were working on the new lounge we set up on WMF's 5th floor. He loved the bright, airy room quite a lot. He endeavored to make it (as he had with all of our spaces) remote-friendly (to staff not in the office) and work all the A/V.
Chip was the behind-the scenes guy at all of our organization's meetings. I remember attending some very stressful meetings and how I always felt relief in seeing him there. I knew I could count on him, and we developed a wonderful friendship that I am so grateful for.
We often talked about meeting up outside of work, going for a beer in Jack London Square (when he was living there). I'm sorry that we never did make that happen, and he was always accepting of my apologies and situation with my two young children.
We also shared a deep love of the Midwest. I am a Midwesterner like he, and I remember how instantly connected I felt to him because of that. Not just because of where he was from, but because of who he was. Because of his charm, his humility, his kindness, his grace, his smarts, and his humor. Because he was always fun to be around. Because he was curious and bright. I learned to love the Red Hot Riplets.
I remember towards the end of his time with WMF he shared with me more about some of his dreams; where he hoped to go and what he hoped to do. He had big visions to make a profound difference in our world through technology. I am sure you already know that Chip did make a big difference in our world.
I will truly miss him. I send you my love and deep condolences.

Chip was my friend. He was an amazing amazing guy. I am so sad that he is no longer with us. If only there were more Chip's the world would be a better place. Chip was a good, moral person who alway cared about doing the right thing and was thoughtful about all of his decisions. I miss him and wish I could have been there for him in his last year, I had no idea. :(

Chip was a great manager, mentor, colleague, and friend at Wikimedia. I could honestly say that I wouldn't be where I am at now if it wasn't for him. He has impacted my life tremendously and I am not even sure if he knew it. In all honesty, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am at now. He was kind, gentle, patient and gave his utmost respect even if I was just an intern. He was an amazing person and his life was cut way too short, but little did he know that he has made a change in this world. Rest easy, Chip. The world won't be the same without you here in it.
Burt Hashiguchi
July 11, 2016
I am deeply thankful to have had Chip's friendship. He was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. He was full of praise for so many people. He could tell stories for days. He is gone far too soon.
To Lori, Chuck, Drew, and Jack: I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that he loved you SO MUCH! He loved to talk about you! I could tell that nothing was closer to his heart than each one of you... with St. Louis, The Cardinals, Frank Zappa, The Big Liebowski, and the weird plasticized cheese unique to the pizza there as close seconds. I love you even though I haven't really met you. Please take care.

I've greatly missed seeing Chip around the office since he left Wikimedia Foundation. He was remarkable at his job, always so focused and composed, taking on all the absolutely crazy A/V challenges that were thrown his way. I regret that I didn't get to know him better on a personal level because, from the few and fortunate conversations we did share, I could tell he had a sharp and wry wit. I wish his loved ones strength and fortitude in learning to live in his absence.
Keegan Peterzell

I knew Chip from work at Wikimedia as well. I work remotely; in the course of four years I saw Chip maybe fifteen times. In those fifteen times, he took time out of his day and we talked for at least five or ten minutes. Add those few occasions up, and I feel like I got to know Chip as a friend - he clearly cared about people, and about me. He remember things going on in my life I forgot I told him about.
Chip was one of the most caring, pleasant, and friendly people I've ever met. I'll never, ever forget him. I'd like to thank his family and friends for helping make Chip the man he was, and for helping me to always remember - for the rest of my life - that there is always time for other people.

I met Chip during my term as Board member of the Wikimedia Foundation. I always remember him with a smile in his face and willing to help. I was shocked when I knew about his tragic loss. This is so incredible sad and unfair, that I have no words to voice my feelings. I hope his family can find peace and consolation.
Anna Stillwell
July 11, 2016
Chip and I worked together at the Wikimedia Foundation. He was kind, generous with his time, and had a hidden, funny sarcastic wit that would come out every now and then and really make me laugh. One time we were sitting together at Melanie's wedding and he had me laughing for hours with these funny stories. He was great at describing really awkward moments such that they became hilarious.
It's not just that I don't know what to say, it's that I don't think there are really words for moments like these. At least I can't find them. I don't know how to express the feelings of sadness for when a really genuinely good person like Chip dies so young. I came here to say what I could in the hopes that you would know that Chip had an impact on me and so many of us at work.
When the news spread over the weekend, it started an email thread at work and so many people chimed in with stories and to express their deep sadness and confusion that he is gone. We have many photos that we will put together for you and send along.

Chip was one of the first people I met when I joined the Wikimedia Foundation. He was a welcoming, warm presence, the sort of person you can only hope will be there to help guide you as you take on a new challenge in life.
He used to make a point of sitting on a couch right in the middle of the office. He had spent hours designing a beautiful sound system, and he wanted to make sure we were using it to the fullest. No matter the time of day, you could catch the sounds of a lovingly crafted playlist, for the ears of anyone who happened by.
He loved St. Louis, and sharing his hometown: he would advocate for Red Hot Riplets in the kitchen, and taught me about the Mississippi and Missouri rivers on St. Louis' flag. He dressed up as Waldo for Halloween, which was perfectly funny and right.
Chip's curiosity and joy was infectious. His compassion and delight in the world and his fellow humans was a constant. We missed him when he left the Foundation, and we miss him now. My deepest condolences. May his joy continue to live in our hearts and yours.

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news. I can still remember seeing Chip daily in class at St. Clare. I'm happy to learn that he got a job working with computers. I remember how much he loved technology. By middle school he was already known as the class computer guy helping even the teachers when they had problems.
Rachel Stallman

I am so sad for the loss of Chip. I also worked with him at the Wikimedia Foundation. He was a joy to work with and I loved to see him take on technical challenges with courage and humor. He was inspiring. So many of us missed him when he left the WMF and this is just heartbreaking news. May you, the family, take solace that Chip touched the lives of many and is loved and remembered well.

I am so saddened to hear about Chip's death. He was definitely ahead of the times, even in grade school. I remember his love, curiosity and passion for technology at such a young age. But more importantly, he was such a humble, kind and compassionate person. I am so sorry for your loss.
Marie Andel
July 11, 2016
Dear Lori and Chuck, I was so very sad to read about Chip's passing. It seems unbelievable to me...as undoubtedly it does to you. I remember when you two were married and when Chip was born. He was a "cutie" from the start and all I've read about him confirms my thinking that a son raised by you had to be an awesome young man! I am so sorry I will not be able to attend the service tomorrow, but will hold you in my heart and remember you in prayer. God bless and keep you and your whole family. Love, Marie Andel (from "back in the day" at Hough School.)

I met and got to know Chip at the Wikimedia Foundation. What a warm and special person he was. We had many conversations about life, love and how we fit into the world and I always admired his depth, sincerity and humor.

I am forever grateful to have known him and will never forget him.

Chip touched me in so many ways every day. I admired his good humor in light of challenges, his high ethics and morales, his kindness and softness, his love for life and others. His loss strikes me hard inside. I will miss Chip deeply, but his values will live on because of his example, mentorship, and friendship that we will never forget.

Chip, the last time we met was unexpectedly, walking down Piedmont, a little over a year ago, perhaps? We exchanged hugs, gladness for the sunshine, and a promise to meet up for coffee. I'm sorry we never had that coffee, but what I will always remember was that crazy evening with Sarah, Heather, and Jonathan, when we jammed about so much, some of it music.
You are one of the warmest, kindest, and most thoughtful people (especially of a subset of techies) I have ever known, and I'm glad you could always laugh about - and with unfailing patience, replace - the many Linux boxes I went through in my years at the Wikimedia Foundation.
To your family, I send my love, my sorrow, and my gratitude that you shared him with us for a short while. For those friends who were much closer to him than I was, especially in this last year, as he came to terms with his illness, I'm so so sorry. I'm glad to have known Chip, if only for a few of his sunny 32 years on this earth. Rest in peace, my friend.
Where's Waldo. Best smile ever.

Chip was an amazing partner when Wikimedia expanded to another floor. We knew we needed a high Tech AV lounge space for our all staff meetings. Chip designed a a system that allowed us to have several different inputs (DVD, laptop, game console, cameras, microphones) from many different areas of the lounge. We had the ability to stream content to staff around the world, plus the ability to converse with them in real time. The company that installed the system was impressed with Chip's forethought and insight. They said the system was one of the most innovative they had ever designed and have used it as a basis for other systems since. The attached photo is from the office Halloween party.

Chip was always there to help as I made my way through the tech issues that I needed to master for my work at the Wikimedia Foundation. On the days when I was sure that I would never understand what he was trying to teach me, he would sense my frustration and share a funny story or drop an entertaining quip and somehow reassure me that I would, indeed, get it. He was such a fine young man in every sense of the word. He made your day better by just being a part of it. May your many happy memories of him sustain you through this very difficult time.

Dearest Deubner Family:
We are so profoundly sorry to learn of Chip's passing. Through their very close association at work and time as roommates, Chip and Colin became brothers in many senses of the word. They supported each other through happy, sad, and pivotal times. We remember Chip as a serious young man with a very kind and light heart. And a twinkle in his eye. We remember his sensitivity and integrity. We know that flights of angels are taking him to his rest.

Losing Chip is so sad for the world, especially everyone who had the honor to know him. Chip worked nearly four years at Wikimedia Foundation office, and was generous with his time and abundantly helpful to everyone he worked with. He was universally well-liked by everyone who was lucky enough to be around him. He radiated cheer and goodwill, and made other people's problems his own. Many of us already missed him as a coworker after his departure from Wikimedia last year, and now I miss him even more.

I'm tremendously saddened by this news. I had the great pleasure of working with Chip at the Wikimedia Foundation. His warmth and kindness never failed to impress me. He was good at his job, good-natured and gentle, even when the problem he was called upon to solve was clearly caused by the person sitting across from him (like me). Chip was special.
