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.

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

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...
