He was one of the best guys I ever knew.  Constantly down to have a Jack and Coke, and discuss life.  Easily one of the best humans I have ever known.  When I left Kiesel, he and I spoke for hours.  he gave me so much knowledge and great advice.  I will forever miss him.  I just wish I could have been on an island with him the few times he asked me to join him.  What a person.  Total legend.  I will never forget him helping me dial my first SLO in over Skype.  Truly, a loss.  For us all.  The best of us we keep losing. 
Let this be a reminder.  Social media and everything like it?  Not worth it.  Love the people you have, play loud, drink heavy, and always rock out.  Life is short friends, make it badass.
Raising a glass to a man that I truly loved and cared about, that was there for me when my dad died.  Cheers Steve.
