Mourning the loss of a dear friend
Thursday, December 14, 2006
On the morning of november 8th, less than a week ago, Gary Grace, a dear friend of mine, passed away of a drug overdose. He was in his mid forties. Gary was a great vocalist and accomplished bassist. We did an album together in the year 2000. Once completed, we promoted the CD with Buzz Fenner, a drummer from our hometown. We named the band "The Heat." We performed shows through out Arkansas, mainly in Little Rock and Jonesboro. Gary wrote, produced and arranged the material on the CD.
I will always remember Gary as an artist who always took a lot of pride in his music. We practiced HARD, and it showed! At one time I would say we were one of the tightest bands I ever played with.
If life ever starts getting you down, PLEASE don't ever think that drugs will solve your problems. Look to the man up above and pray.
Sooner or later he will help you get through it.
Gary, I miss you brother. Your hard work and dedication to your music will always be an inspiration to me.
Your friend, Sonny
