RIP My Friend.

I received sad news that my former bandmate and friend, Brian passed away. He was a great guy and a great musician can't think of a time he never had a smile on his face. He was an all around good person, always willing to help out and usually the first to offer the help, treated everyone he dealt with with a genuine kindness and respect. He will be missed and wherever he is now ultimately a better place (and has a better band) because of his presence there. RIP Brian

My condolences as well.

The loss of a friend and fellow creative soul is a true loss indeed.

He was a great guy. He and his brother owned a pretty good mom/pop music store in the area. He was at work and from what I hear more or less went into cardiac arrest and died there in the store. He was only 34 and appeared to be in pretty good shape too. It's got me obsessing with my own mortality and hit even closer to home because my sister is waiting to get in to see a cardiologist for a heart condition she has and she's only 20.
