It´s been extremely difficult for me to even come to terms with this. I´ve known the kid for like fifteen years. I will be forever grateful of the music we played, hearing all the passion in his amazing voice. We had some amazing times together. He helped me through many difficult situations with my family and my job, as I am sure his family knows. Every time we hung out, he always said to me, "I love you kid, you´re my brother." He always knew how to cheer me up. His personality lit up the room because he spoke loudly and passionately about his family, music, our band, his motorcycle, the camping trips to Erie that we took and plenty of other things. We all know he is up above, rockin with all his favorite musicians. And if I know him, being bossy to all the musical greats that have passed. I dedicate every one of my future jam sessions to you.So one more time to you man, I love you buddy. You won´t ever be forgotten and you will always be missed. Rest in peace and keep rocking, until we meet again.
