There is a "Certificate may not be valid" note on his Airmen record, which also shows a December 2019 third class medical.

A good friend of mine died in a Sonex, although in his case it was entirely preventable. Departure stall related to density altitude, something that can really bite us flatlanders (it can really bite anyone, but denizens of flatland deal with this stuff less than most).
