During my second year of university, I found out one of my favorite math teachers passed away. Honestly, he didn't do much in the way of teaching math, but he did teach us a lot about living through experiences. He taught virtually until the day he died.

I was able to get back into town just in time for the memorial my school hosted. I hadn't seen him for two years, and hadn't liked the content of the class much, but he was a great person, and meant a lot to a lot of people. I liked him a lot, too. He was a great person who made a lot of people feel good about themselves, who went above and beyond to make his students feel good about themselves. The conversations we had, the ways he showed us to think and considering, and the stands he took on behalf of the students and teachers when the school administration treated us poorly or made us more grateful than anyone can imagine.

I didn't know him on a personal level, outside of class, or even talk to him as much as some others, but I liked him a lot and missed him even more when I learned he was gone.

So no, I don't think it's weird to mourn for an educator. You felt a connection with him, regardless of the setting or intimacy of the friendship.

I'm sorry for your loss, hon.
