I'd met Scott Hutchison on a few occasions. He was immensely talented and an all-around likable, humble, and hilarious, human being. The world is a better place for him having lived in it.
His family has since started a mental health charity in his honour [0].
To get a small taste of Scott's personality, have a listen to the banter at the beginning of this live performance[1]. He's one line into "The Modern Leper" (a song about living with depression) when he notices a small child near the front. Scott becomes suddenly aware how dark the subject matter is, and breaks from the song to give everyone a little laugh.

Edit - he also did a talk at Google before his last tour (not tech related) https://youtu.be/FT_UrM_L1vQ https://youtu.be/FT_UrM_L1vQ
Rest in peace Scott.
