So this death hit my local scene hard.  As I have said before I have been doing music now and although I have done shows all over Texas already the DFW area is where I have the most shows… Home base as it were. Anyways let me fill you in a little more on this guy. 

Justin was one of those rare cats…. He showed love at damn near every local show we had. Was also one that supported me while I was trying to break the barrier of scene politics to gain a foothold. He loved music….. He was also a very talented artist and a loving father leaving behind a daughter that had to actually witness Her fathers death first hand by accidental drowning.  The family does have most expenses covered and to my knowledge donations will go into a trust until his daughter Ari is 18. So if you donate you are donating to memorialize him by showing this little girl that people actually cared about her,  her father and the future to come. I know the gathering,  gorefest and attack of the ninjas are all coming soon but if you can please donate even if it is a small amount. I know ScottieD put the link in the article but I’m gonna put it here too.  Thank you and keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
