I just got the news... Oh' my brother. I'm speechless.
It's been a minute and you have been missed. Last in-person was at Louie's. Now you're with our brothers as well. May God hold you close my dear friend.

God Bless.

~Peace out.

"We're the ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness
That it needs, yeah

We're a laugh without tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming, home

We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

We don't come alone
We are fire, we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away"

"Rock n Roll children. Caught up in the spinning wheel.."
R.J.D

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The ending is just the beginner

A brother, a friend, a band mate and fellow patriot. You'll always be greatly loved, cherished and missed.
Godspeed. Rest in Christ's perfect love
