IBM Champions

In Memory of Stuart Litel
Storyteller, Advocate, Friend

We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Stuart Litel-a pillar of the Informix community, a founding member of the IBM Champions program, and a passionate advocate for technology and people alike.

Stuart's contributions to the Informix world are legendary. As a long-time leader and President of the International Informix Users Group (IIUG), he was a tireless voice for the Informix customer base, consistently working to elevate the technology and the people behind it. His dedication and commitment made him an invaluable bridge between users and IBM, for which he was recognized as an IBM Champion.

Stuart wasn't just involved-he was everywhere. His presence was known and felt at countless conferences, meetups, and events. He was the type of person who seemed to know everyone, and if he didn't know you yet, he would in just a moment-always with a warm smile, a booming laugh, and one of his signature, over-the-top stories that would somehow, incredibly, turn out to be true.

Many of us remember him as a loyal friend, a fierce advocate, and a passionate debater. He never hesitated to argue for what he believed was right, especially when it came to customers. Whether discussing travel, baseball (especially if the Red Sox were involved), or the latest in IBM tech, Stuart brought energy and opinions into every conversation.

One of my cherished memories is how Stuart brought me down onto the field before a game at Fenway Park-a small but perfect example of his generosity and knack for making magic happen for the people he cared about.

Stuart's impact went far beyond his technical knowledge. He helped shape the IBM Champions program from the very beginning and was honored as one of its first Lifetime Champions. He brought heart, humor, and authenticity to everything he touched. His stories, friendships, and passion for the Informix community will live on in the many lives he touched.

We extend our deepest condolences to his beloved partner Robin, and to all his friends, colleagues, and family. Stuart's legacy is one of loyalty and laughter. He will be sorely missed-and fondly remembered.

Rest in peace, Stuart. Your memory is a blessing. Thank you for everything.
