In the upcoming Schwalbe, April 2018, three deaths have been mentioned.
Gerard Bouma (10.v.1923 - 27.xi.2017) should be well-known to most MatPlus forum visitors.
Wouter Mees (6.viii.1921 - 25.i.2018) just had recently sent "study greetings" to EG readers. Now a few months later he died.
Newman Guttman (4.iv.1927 - 2.ii.2018) was on the legendary Piran congress. He was U.S. delegate for many years at the PCCC meetings.
EDIT: Also news came in that Mikhail Mishko from Ukraine has died in his 60th year.

I remember a very nice study from W. Mees 1940. You will certainly like it (or already know it) : Kh1, Bf8, Na8, Pa2 / Kc6. W wins ; (b) put Pa2 in a3.

I edited studies for the magazine "Euxinus Pontus" for a few years. Now I learnt that the publisher Stelian Lamba has died. (3.ix.1936-13.vi.2018)
Also, the mainly studies composing Virgil Nestorescu has died. (8.ii.1929-21.vui.2018) Very sad. He was a PCCC delegate for Romania for many years. GMCC in 2001.
Adding to the already reported I.V. (Ignace Vandecasteele), the other famous I.V. (Ignaas Vandemeulebrouckes) has passed away now. (17.iv.1934-25.viii.2018)
Unknown to me was Hungarian helpmate composer László Ányos (25.vi.1932-23.vi.2018) who died two days prior to his birthday.
Similarly I didn't know Imants Dulbergs from Latvia. (6.ii.1936-14.iv.2018)
Already reported here, I think, were Ignace Vancecasteele (see above), Vadim Vinokurov (30.ix.1953-7.v.2018), Roger Missiaen (24.iii.1925-19.vi.2018) but are included in this thread also for sake of completeness.
Source for all is the new "Schwalbe" of October 2018, preview version for editors.

I was always wondering how could he compose those long, twinned helpmates. RIP.

In Skopje (Northern Macedonia) a few days ago passed away well known helpmate composer Petre Stojoski (15.06.1951-12.02.2019). He has 9 points in FIDE Albums. He has sent 6 problems for current WCCI 2016-2018 in helpmates group (http://www.yacpdb.org/download/WCCI2016-18/E/E072-Stojoski,%20Petre.pdf). In WinChloe database his 209 problems are recorded. I got this sad news from his compatriots Nikola Stolev and Boško Milošeski.

Sad news. He was a good, prolific composer, specially in the field of helpmates. I've changed with him some messages, he was a real gentleman. Rest in Peace.

Very, very bad news from Germany. Dieter Kutzborski has died today, according to his wife (via Wieland Bruch).
I bought in 2017 on the WCCC his then new book "Verschlüsselte Steine", found it to be a really good book, a really great composer. And now, not even two years later, this great man has died.
I feel bad, especially since I had once written something wrong about him in Die Schwalbe (and apologized later). Now I didn't know him personally. For me "only" another great composer has died, a man whose book, whose compositions, I really enjoyed. But he had many friends, participating in the local chess composer meetings, and for them this will be devastating.
