Mott-Ly Tisdale

I remember Mott-ly from when I was just a teenager.. I remember he had the coolest fanzine back then.. he was such an all around good guy!...Sadly a good friend informed me the other day of Mott-ly's passing.. and though it had been many years since I had seen him, I kept up with his work and I knew he remained a huge part of the local art scene here..I have great respect for Mott-ly.. a real talent..Peaceful blessings to all his family and friends...he really was an amazing guy.

Dear Tisdale family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mott-ly was a good friend to so many people… most that came in contact with him. I will miss his kindness and friendship and will continue to be inspired by him as an artist and as a good person.

To the Tisdale family,
Thank you for Mott-ly.
He is a bright star in my life.
Art is a better thing because of him.
Godspeed to you all,
Christopher and Sheryl Gulick

Mott was my first love and the first man I lived with. It was a short time but huge in love. I thank him for the time we had together. I wish his soul love and tranquility as it moves on. His spirit has never left my heart and never will.

Mott,

I remeber being at Truman Medical after they took your leg, you swore they were out to get you. I guess living on the edge meant going back there. You were one of the few people in KC that I could call friend; I wish you had been able to escape to Lawrence as you had planned. Be at a painless peace my friend.

Dearest Mott-ly, you have been a prince among men, and our world is a better place for having had you in it. May the blessings be! Love you!

Mott-LY - As the Irish love to say, "We hardly knew ye!. Though we only knew you for a few years, we are richer for the experience. We particularly enjoyed your company the day our daughter married your brother. We all had a wonderful time, and it has been a true pleasure knowing you. We admire your physical and mental strengths. The heavens will be richer with your art and music.

Blessings and Peace to the family and friends of Mott-Ly. He will be greatly missed. I was honored and glad to have met him.
