Being able to see the world as much as we did together is unprecedented and something I never took for granted and never will. A friend like you is a rare thing. I wish things were different. Love you forever

I am writing this in hopes that it reaches you in some way cosmically. I will love, mourn, and celebrate you forever.

This beautiful thing we built together was the greatest honor of my life, and my only solace is knowing that we documented a lifetime of memories, at first to share with the world, but now to look back on and and preserve your warm, kind soul forever.

Say hey to Cayle and Cliff Burton for us, and feel free to stop by and haunt me any time.

Every song is about you now.

Let's do it all again in the next life.
