August Landmesser, who had been born in 1910, passed away on 1944-10-17. Throughout his life, which was tragically shortened to only 34 years, August had lived in Hamburg, Germany and was a shipyard worker. August is remembered for his positive contributions to society, including doing his part to build the German Navy before World War II.

Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is just a passing shadow of a cloud. Yann Martel
