Justin Townes Earle

My favorite picture of myself is with Justin at Silver Platters in Seattle. We picked him up from Mill Creek and had a lovely conversation about unusual car wrecks we had been in. What a great laugh..

Big Love

Son, you are gone from me physically but never from my heart, forever.

My brother and I met Justin and his sister at 14 and 12 yrs. Old , I remember how inviting and down to earth the whole entire family was anytime we spent the night in their home. Anytime day or night on most of those sleepovers you were guaranteed to hear him in his room working, perfecting his craft. He was driven. I think he knew from a young age what he wanted to do. My family and I are praying for peace and strength for any and everyone involved. May God be with you.

I believe the light shines brightest for those who live their life's according to their own rules, none of us know what is going on inside someone's mind. The frailty we experience as unique human beings is what often touches others, and all we can do is be glad we know something of that person, and in the case of Mr Justin Townes Earle, that was his unique and amazing talents, May He Rest In Peace.

Thank you for the beautiful music. RIP

So sorry for the loss of a very talented musician. The world is most definitely a poorer place for his passing. RIP Justin.

I was just listening to Stephen Still (Manassas) "So Begins the Task" ( of learning to live without someone). I suppose that thinkgs can close in on us if we feel too much. I'm deeply moved by Justin's passing. He really felt things and is now a Patron saint of Hopeless causes. May his family and his deepest loss be covered in the sunshine of God's all powerful love for us and our terrible bereavements. We can never know how our lives are revealed in the hearts of those who see us and...
