Here's his letter from last year's Digimon event, apologizing for not being able to make it, as his condition worsened, read by Miyazaki Ayumi (translation available).

I was also put to tears with this news. I've been listening to all his songs the past few hours.

I'm currently on a Digimon marathon, up to Tamers. You cannot comprehend the sadness...

(And off-topic, I just heard GFx died and I'm truly devastated...)

Devastated is not the word. Kouji Wada is a legend and he will always be remembered for his work, especially for Butter-fly. So sad it hurts. Rest in peace.
