Have always loved your music and the messages your songs convey. Still
Love listening to your music. So sorry you are no longer with us. So glad I got to your concert in July 2016 to see you perform. Sympathies to the family.

There have only been two celebrities that I wish I could have met in my lifetime, and Tom Petty was one of them. It's taken me this long to even work up the nerve to leave a message here. Tom Petty was one of the most original and talented artists that I've ever been aware of. His presence is missed. This world is just not the same anymore. RIP

Grief can be so hard, and our feelings simply do not dissipate over time. Hold special memories memories close to your heart, as they will help you through the years. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Left a message here when you passed, never looked again coz it was too sad. You've been in my thoughts the past few days, so came here to finally read some of the many beautiful remembrances about you. I didn't see the one I left, so here it is again ~

Well it was nearly summer, we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared
at the moon

And I showed you stars you never could see
Babe, it could'na been that easy to
forget about me...

Tom, your music has been with me so long and it always will stay in my beat-up, broken heart.
But as Cohen said, There's a Crack in Everything..
And That's How the Light, that's how the Light
Gets In

I hope I will see you again somewhere, someday
In the Land of Dreams, the Betwixt and Between
In the Yesterworld by and bye.

The whole world loves your music still. Sadly missed by your fans and never forgotten. Thank you, for every time life was hard, I sang your song...."hey baby, there aint no easy way out, you can stand me up against the gates of Hell but I won't back down", and it made me feel strong again. May you stand forever in the light of the Lord...oh what songs you would write if you could tell us what you see now.

God bless you and keep you in his care. Even though his death is not fresh , your grief is. We were fortunate to be his first stop in OKC on his last tour. Seats on the eighth row, with our bad backs due to age , we stood up and sang and danced the whole time. He had a warmth, charm and wit that matched his musical ability. His CDs were the soundtrack to our many car trips. I have the tee shirt with the tour on back and extras for being in VIP section. It has taken us awhile to listen to his music because of our own feeling of personal loss. Im sure you know how much he was loved by the world.

I haven't forgotten that day, how I felt the loss, & still do. I grew up with his music & adored his long blonde hair personally thinking he was a kind of sultry sexy. I hope his family & friends have found some healing but I know there is definitely no time limit on grief. RIP TP your music lives on in our hearts & always will. It must be one great party up in that sky!!!

Dana and family,

I know this is several months late. I want to send my deepest and sincere condolences of your loss of a husband, father, friend, leader and bandmate. I've been listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers since 1978. I truly love his music and his appreciation of all his fans. I continue to play his music all the time. He was a big influence of not only the music I listen to as well as my life. I will keep you, your stepdaughters, son, family and Tom's bandmates in my thoughts and prayers. Just know I and many of his fans and followers will always think about Tom and we love him.
