Last night, I received sad word that Lucas Dunn – a former TLO contributor, podcaster, and all-around decent human being – left this world at the young age of 40.
As I wrote on Twitter, Lucas was a gentle, kind, and tender soul:
RIP to former TLO contributor Lucas Dunn (@fernetbroncho) – an incredible writer, podcaster, and human. He was a gentle, kind, and tender soul. I'm glad and grateful we ran into each other at Bunker last fall and were able to patch things up. This hits hard. pic.twitter.com/qTImc5ECIN

From about 2014 to 2021, Lucas authored over 400 articles on this site.
From outlining the 5 Stages of an Oklahoma Winter Weather Panic to providing a list of 7 Historical Buildings That Deserve To Be An On-Cue to perfectly encapsulating the odor of blooming Bradford Pears – "smells like rotten fish & cum" – he made sure our readers were informed and entertained about the state of local affairs.
Leave it to smelly Bradford pear trees to beat the new Facebook algorithm. pic.twitter.com/hQJwLH47Ve
