William Goggins, a former top editor at Wired magazine, died Sunday while running the San Francisco Marathon, according to a story in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Reporter Simone Sebastian wrote, “Goggins was a former deputy editor of Wired magazine. Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson said Goggins’ ‘mark on Wired was profound.’
“‘Think of him as being the smartest, fastest, wittiest person you’ve ever met,’ Anderson said Sunday evening. ‘That’s Bill.’
“‘He was a guy who made everything better,’ Anderson said. ‘His voice was the voice of Wired for about a decade. The headlines were very much his voice. He was the longest serving employee for a long time.'”
