I’m so sad to hear this. Many years ago, Marek and I shared an office as postdocs at McGill. He was always a kind and decent soul, always willing to talk to any student who wanted his advice. I saw him again recently for the first time in many years, and it was like we were still postdocs sharing an office.

With a great sadness and a feeling of a heartbreaking premature loss I
let the categorical community know that Marek Zawadowski has passed away
on Sunday, 3 March 2024.

The funeral will take place in Warszawa, on Monday, 11 March 2024.
(More detailed information is available here:

I will miss very much his kind presence, sense of humour, and approach
to many things -- in research, and in life. And I will always remain
grateful for his mentorship, which has opened my mind to mathematics.

Here is a photo of Marek from 87th PSSL at Patras (in April 2008):

and a photo of him, walking the path with André Joyal:
