My heart is as full as it always was and you make me laugh so often. Feels like you are going to walk through the door any moment - May you continue to feel so much love and peace. Blessings to your family. When you spoke of them you always placed your hand on your heart... as you now do in the ethers - Always with that bass brilliance we still move together

You will never be forgotten. It's not even possible. Those you have touched would not be able to forget the most charizmatic guy in the room, that made them laugh as well as made them feel welcome & comfortable. Your honesty & your bravery are just a few of the charachteristics that made up one of the most unique & exciting persons they ever met. Leaving those of us who knew you, feeling lucky & blessed & even maybe a little bit famous for just a second.
Thank you for being you!
Mike Starr Forever

Mike Starr lived up to his name with the best alternative band of the 1990's. My prayers to you and your family. Alice in Chains performed even better with Starr's abilities at bass playing. R.I.P. BRO!

Michael,
You never knew me, but I remember seeing you all on the hill, back in the day. Must have been 1991 or 1992. Those were the best years. I am feeling really distraught over your death, but we still have your music. RIP Mike!.

Mike, your contribution to the world of music is something you never quite saw. You never got to see how many times AiC's music helped someone, you never got to understand how Broken souls would find healing in what you did. I hope you get to see it now.

RIP Mike Starr. The world hasn't forgotten you.
