Death notice cite removed (2026-10-25)

The archive pass removed this sentence from the article: "The Players Committee Star Wars CCG Facebook page announced on 1 October 2024 that he had passed away." Its only source was a Facebook post (facebook.com/starwarsccg/posts/…/885436517128015/). Its working copy was archive.ph/jbfZk. The Wayback Machine shows only a login wall for Facebook, and it could not save the archive.ph copy. A search of the PC forum found no death notice either. Restore the sentence once a preserved source is found. Comlink Cursor (talk) 02:55, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Restored 2026-10-25 with a preserved source: a former colleague's tribute posted on 2 October 2025 says he died "yesterday". That places his death on 1 October 2025. The sentence removed above gave 2024; the tribute shows the year was 2025. The article now reads "He died on 1 October 2025."

Update: the old Star Wars CCG post link (facebook.com/starwarsccg/posts/…/885436517128015/) is dead; Facebook shows no content even when logged in. The notice is now cited from his son Brian Kallenbach's post on Chuck's own profile (1 October 2025). It says he died that morning after a short battle with his second round of cancer, which confirms the 2025 date. Facebook would not save the page HTML, so the post was transcribed verbatim from a logged-in browser view on 2026-10-26, with a screenshot, as a swccg.com snapshot (Wayback). The snapshot also includes Kevin Fitzpatrick's share of it, the post archived at archive.ph/jbfZk. Brandon Baity's 8 October 2025 tribute post in the Star Wars CCG group is preserved the same way (Wayback). Open question: the article dates the 2025 SWCCG Worlds Special video to 14 June 2026, but Baity's post linked to it on 8 October 2025. The video date may need checking.

Video date checked: YouTube shows the 2025 SWCCG Worlds Special (BuZYhkg35qo) as public, "Premiered Jun 14, 2026", with uploadDate and datePublished 2026-06-14T09:33:56-07:00. The Wayback captures of 9 and 11 October 2026 and the channel feed show the same date, so 14 June 2026 stays on every page that cites it. A video ID can't be re-uploaded. The 8 October 2025 Facebook link may have pointed to the video before it went public (unlisted or private), or to an earlier cut. The screenshot shows only the title and "YOUTUBE.COM", so the ID behind that link card can't be confirmed. No date changed.
