It made me really sad to hear about this the other day & I’ve been thinking about it since. He was a really nice guy & humble to boot.

It’s kind of odd to think that someone you haven’t thought of in many, many years has now permanently disappeared, but I guess death is like that.

He was also a great DJ who loved music so much it was infectious.

Truly horrible news.

Matthew and I were coworkers a ways back; really nice guy and very dedicated to his craft. (Remember being blown away that this low key guy knew DJ Shadow.) He was an attorney too–multifaceted guy. Condolences to his wife and family.

My condolences to his family. He will be missed.
