“It is with great regret and deep personal sadness that we must announce that Jonathan Speirs lost his fight against cancer,” said the annoucement. “Since his terminal diagnosis in late 2010 Jon showed characteristic strength and a steely determination to defy the life limiting constraints put upon him. He continued to work with us and travel widely until the end of 2011 finding energy and solace from the great loves of his life, his family and his work. Our thoughts are with Liz, Lucie, Erin, his sister, brothers and father. We will miss him dearly but will keep him with us, working to his and our primary objective: delivering great projects.”
A personal statement from director and fellow founding partner Mark Major has been published in the blog section of the company’s website www.speirsandmajor.com/blog .
Speirs + Major intends to create a visual tribute, which will also be placed on the website.
