He died yesterday.
This is his blogpost 6 days earlier:
I read many of his books, and he has influenced me in ways I cannot even imagine. While certainly not the founder of Discordianism, he was the first to incorporate the dozens of zany countercultural philosphies into his writing as way of thumbing his nose at ALL authority. It was through him I learned All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.
Remember kids, it's not an Either/Or binary world, it's one of Both.
He will be greatly missed by many, including me.

"Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.
Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd. "
