KeysNet.com reports that Key West gay activist Henry Woods, an adjunct political science professor at Florida Keys Community College, has died after suffering an aneurysm and slipping into a coma on Christmas Eve.
Woods ran for Monroe County elections supervisor in 2008.
“He was a leader in the Florida GLBT Democratic Caucus and the Key West Lambda Democrats. Sudden and sad news,” says Stephen Gaskill, a Washington/South Florida political consultant.
From KeysNet.com:
He slipped into a coma on Christmas Eve. Woods, 58, was a 10-year Key West resident and taken via helicopter to Miami after suffering a severe aneurysm.
Homosexual men die much earlier than heterosexual men. Proven fact.

And only the good die young. Which was certainly the case with Henry Woods. Anyone who ever attended a political event in Key West probably ran into Henry and his welcoming smile. He will be greatly missed.
