RIP Ste7en…

“Omg it’s so hard to believe you’re gone! You were there when I first started to karaoke with John-Paul Portal and helped me gain confidence in myself on stage. You kj’d at one of my house parties, and you were always so very nice to me. I only just saw you almost a year ago in Miami with Rick Gionfriddo , Franz Juran , and Johnny Graves . We both went to karaoke in Miami also the year before that. I remember riding in your car talking about nothing but I am glad that your fight is over.” (Facebook)

8 weeks ago I found out he was sick. It looked like he was going to get better. I had a feeling he wasn’t going to make it so I thought maybe he was in the clear. Just about last week I was told (by Erik or someone), “I’m sorry to inform you of their passing”. I pushed it out of my mind.

Then just 15 minutes ago a friend reached out to me with the news. I’m shocked because he looked like he was going to get better but not shocked because of his age and existing problems. I know how it sounds but yeah…

…😮‍💨 As we move through life we just keep losing more.
