Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book,Righteous Indignation:

I love my job.

I love fighting for what I believe in.

I love having fun while doing it.

I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report.

I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and famously I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website.

Ive lost friends, perhaps dozens.

But Ive gained hundreds, thousands who knows?

Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.

Breitbart is survived by his wife and four children.
