Now that the latest Hatchet Herald is out with the story of now deceased Juggalo Aaron Spencer, I wanted to tell you a little bit about how this all came to fruition.  If you haven’t seen it yet, Jumpsteady posted a story in the latest Herald about he and Violent J going to visit a ninja whose health was ailing.  Just over a month ago, PRJ posted an article about Mr. Spencer who was at the time in the hospital with a failing liver.   Not only did we post that article, but I forwarded the email that Spence’s homie Philip sent to me to InsaneClownPosse.com webmaster J-Webb.  Webb seemed touched by the email, said he would forward it, but couldn’t promise anything.

Fast-forward a week, and I got an email from Aaron’s homie Philip again saying that Aaron received a call on Christmas day from Jumpsteady!  Juggalos, let me tell you how awesome of a feeling that was to have played a tiny part in making that happen!  Even through email, I could sense the sheer joy and enthusiasm that Philip had for his homie!  He said it truly made his day, and that he asked his fiance if he was dreaming!

As if that wasn’t cool enough, I got another unexpected email just 3 days later saying that Jumpsteady and Violent J jumped in a car, drove to Ohio, and visited Aaron at home in his apartment while he was surrounded by close friends and family!  Philip included a couple of pictures from the visit (one which you saw in the latest Hatchet Herald), and gave me the breakdown of what happened!   He wanted to share the experience with the world via Faygoluvers, but I told him that maybe we should keep things on the down-low in case they didn’t want to bring it to the public eye.  Now that it’s out in the Hatchet Herald, I want to share Philip’s email about what happened:

From: Philip R.

Just wanted to share this with you man!  Look who stopped in to visit Spence!  Oh My God how fuckin’ cool of them!!  We are keeping this between the homies, but just wanted to let you know that you had a BIG part in making this happen!  Thank you!  Spencer thanks you! I thank you! Spence’s mom, hell his whole family thanks you dude!  Words can’t describe how much love goes out to you!  Everyone keeps telling me it all happened because of me, but it also happened because of you, and them being the REAL motherfuckers they are!

How fresh of an email is that?!  I just wanted to give a little bit of inside info about how it all happened, and give HUGE props to Jumpsteady, Violent J, and J-Webb for making this happen!  Also, HUGE props to Philip R. for reaching out to us in hopes of helping fulfill a homie’s dying wish.  That is the epitome of what being a Juggalo is all about!

While we at Faygoluvers only played a small part in this, I will NEVER forget the impact that it had on my life, as well as all of those involved.  Much respect to everyone at Psychopathic for truly caring about their fans!

Last but not least, if you didn’t read the Hatchet Herald, you might not know that Aaron recently passed away.  Our deepest condolences go out to his friends and family.  To part, we’ll leave you with the memorial video that was put together in his honor:
