Jean-Pierre Macquart was a fabulous scientist. I had the privilege of serving with him on the ANITA steering committee from 2015-2019. Below is the conference photo he took for ANITA2018. He will be missed! @AstroSocAus @CurtinUni https://t.co/cDNkJSbRts pic.twitter.com/h2daRI6I5f

Vale A/Prof Jean-Pierre Macquart. We’re saddened to learn of J-P’s passing overnight. His inimitable character and passion for science will be sorely missed by his friends and colleagues, in Australia and around the world. Our thoughts are with his wife Sherine and family. pic.twitter.com/Az9E7FvmAz

Huge, game-changing, discovery from Jean-Pierre Macquart and the amazing ASKAP fast radio bursts team! These Aussies are the arch-rivals to our Canadian CHIME team, and damn, they’re tough to compete with! https://t.co/1MqScAhUei

Last night, we lost a great astronomer @ICRAR/@CurtinUni. Jean-Pierre Macquart was a truly unique person at our institute. I look back happily at many conversations during J-P’s weekly rounds in the PhD offices looking for a challenge from our “young creative minds” (his words).

This comment, with identical syntax and lack of capitalisation, was also posted on 10 June under the name ‘Shari’ on the sister obituary page to this one. It’s since been deleted, which is fortunate because none of these statements are true. JP is mourned by hundreds of members of the astronomy community and his loss is a loss for science, for his friends and colleagues, and mostly certainly for his family.
