my first reaction was immediate disbelief. i later found out that the "experts" have no idea what happened to him. a specialist is supposed to coming in to figure it out. in any case, it doesn't really matter now, there's nothing they could do for him...
he went to all of our shows, he danced his ass off, we always joked around, and he was always right there to shake hands with after we finished playing. i didn't know him quite as well as other people did, and certainly not enough as i would have liked to, i wish i had the chance now. this is just another reminder to me, to never take for granted the one's you love and know, because one day they will be gone and you will wish you had every living moment to spend with them. myself and the rest of the band will miss him a lot...
