A core Linux kernel hacker and an IBM employee was kicked out of his home, and made homeless while he worked on Linux. He was too sick to keep his job, so they let him go. He lived out of his car when I heard of him last, and last year someone heard me speak of him on IRC and messaged me in private to say he was on his death bed.

I wont discuss him further out of respect to him, but stuff happens, even to people with "jobs".
