Prominent AIDS activist dies of disease

DENNIS RADABAUGH once said t hat, without AIDS, “I never would have lived.”

The disease, he said, forced him to look at his life, including his promiscuity and chemical abuse. He subsequently decided to devote the rest of his life to educating other people about AIDS and training counselors who worked with AIDS patients.

Early Wednesday morning, Radabaugh died of pneumonia, a complication of AIDS, at Ralph K. Davies Medical Center in San Francisco. He was 37.

A memorial service for him is at 5 p.m. Friday at Community Congregational Church in Tiburon.

Friends and family, gathered together Wednesday in Mill Valley, described Radabaugh as a man who used his sense of humor and love of people to  shed some of the myths about AIDS and help others understand the disease.

He was diagnosed with AIDS two and a half years ago.

Las year, he came close to death after a bout with pneumonia. That experience profoundly changed him, according to his sister, Sue Alexander of Mill Valley, and he became increasingly involved in  his AIDS awareness efforts.

Friends and family boosted him at the time with a “Proud to Be Dennis’ Friends” party.

Radabaugh missed the Lesbian and Gay Freedom Day Parade in June 1986 because of the illness. Three days before his hospitalization last month, he participated in the parade although it took him two hours to walk the 12-block route, according to Mary Redick, executive director of the Marin AIDS Support Network. “About 200,000 people saw true grit that day,” she said.

Radabaugh trained counselors who worked with AIDS patients, according to Redick. He also spoke before numerous groups, including school children, nurses and police.

He’d show people the blotches on his skin, from AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma, and would say, “Do you want to look like me? Do you want these purple marks all over your face? Then carry condoms. Remember that the person you bring home from the bar may kill you….There are lots of people out on the street who have this disease and they don’t give a damn and they’re spreading it around. So now there are lots of us who have a disease called AIDS. It’s frightening and it’s spreading like wildfire, and it’s a human disease – not a gay disease. We’re not lepers; we’re human beings.”

In addition to his work with the Marin AIDS Support Network, Radabaugh founded People with AIDS, a support group for AIDS patients. He also was active in Narcotics Anonymous and Gay Fathers of San Francisco. An avid bowler, he once had a 300 game.

He was a native of Toledo and moved to Marin six years ago, living first in San Rafael and later in Mill Valley.

He is survived by a son, Brad Radabaugh of Brighton, Mich.; his parents, Ralph and Juanita Radabaugh of Naples, Fla.; three sisters, Sue Alexander and Linda Gordon of Mill Valley and Debra Radabaugh of Hillsborough.

Assistant Rector of St. John’s died

A Requiem Mass for the Rev. Wade Wright Egbert of Mill Valley, Assistant Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ross, will be celebrated by Bishop William Swing at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. John’s Church.

Rev. Egbert died Wednesday, Oct. 14, 1987, at his home. He was 55.

After he was diagnosed in January as suffering from AIDS, he shared this with the congregation at St. John’s, where he had been on the staff since 1985.

Earlier, he served seven years as rector of Holy Innocents’ Church in Corte Madera.

The Rev. Bart Sarjeant, rector of St. John’s, noted that Rev. Egbert had also been diagnosed as having cancer in 1974 and given six months to live. “He lived with death all that time. He was so prepared for death despite how long he held it off,” Sarjeant said.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever met a finer priest or a finer man … even when he was hospitalized and was so ill, he was very concerned about other people.”

Rev. Egbert was born and reared in Fort Smith, Ark., and was a lifelong Episcopalian.

He earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Arkansas and then a Master of Divinity degree at the University of the South. He also earned a Master of Arts degree at Mississippi and a doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley. While he was studying in Berkeley in the 1960s, he assisted in Holy Innocents’ Parish.

However, much of his career was spent in education and missionary work. Early in his career, he was in charge of the education program and parochial school at the Episcopal Cathedral in Little Rock, Ark. Later, he was Dean of Cuttington College, a liberal arts school operated by the Episcopal Church in the African country of Liberia for five years. He then returned to New York, where he was on the National World Mission Staff of the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church. He also had served on various committees of Church World Service and on the boards of the Heifter Project International and CODEL, a consortium of Roman Catholics and Protestants working in underdeveloped countries.

Rev. Egbert served as rector of Holy Innocents’ Parish from 1978 to 1985, when he left to go to St. John’s.

Rev. Egbert is survived by his sister, Moselle Hudson James of Fort Smith, Ark., and a foster son, Samuel K. T. Harris, whom he adopted in Liberia and who also lives in Fort Smith.

The funeral Mass will be concelebrated by the Rev. Lloyd Prator, rector of All Saints’ Church in San Francisco, and the Rev. Victor Wei, executive officer to the bishop. Sarjeant will preach, and numerous other Episcopal clergy will participate in t he service which Rev. Egbert had planned before his death
