He is such a talented musician...unbelievable.

ryan.......what bands was he into?

 

[boxer810]

Stuff like Hellogoodbye, Paramore, Enya, The Beatles, Blink 182, Rancid, Fallout Boy, The All American Rejects, Sugar Ray, The Darkness and even some Backstreet Boys....he had such a WIDE variety of musical interests. He liked each band for different reasons. He'd pick apart their music and break it down. He s so wonderfully musically talented....

Joey, there are so many fond memories I have of you, from the time when you were only 12, until you were a wonderful young man of 21. You brought joy and happiness to so many people's lives. You were a rarity in this world, and I know there are many weeping for their loss. You will never read this, but I just have to tell you that I love you. I may not have said it to you while you were alive, and for that I will have regret for the rest of my life, but I'm saying it now. You wouldn't have wanted us to stand over your grave weeping. I will leave this prayer for you, and know that I will see you again soon....

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

Do not stand at my grave and mourn.
I am the dew-flecked grass at dawn.
Where tranquil oceans meet the land
I am the footprints in the sand
To guide you through the weary day.
I am still here; I'll always stay.

When you wake up to morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

I'm not a crying man but that welled me up a bit.

Nice tribute page Ryan.
