I should have changed plans so maybe could’ve seen him play in Memphis the year before. I blew it. Now Wildflowers album sounds sad, instead of just mellow.

Have you seen the Rock Doc - Echoes In The Canyon on Netflix? It's fantastic and he's in a lot of it. Passes on some great insights and as good as he was, it was sad seeing him and knowing he's gone.
A good young man that worked for my families business died yesterday in Greensboro NC when his car hydroplaned during the rain storm that hit down there. He hit a tree head on and was killed instantly. His 3 week old daughter fractured her skull and has bleeding on her brain. His other two small children also suffered injuries but were of the broken bone variety. Miguel was a very hard worker and great father. His family is not in the position to suffer his loss financially. His widow is a waitress and now has to support 3 small children with no father. They are blue collar and he did not have life insurance. She had to start a go fund me to raise money for his funeral and fuel costs to get back and forth to the children’s hospital where here kids are hospitalized. And while they hit the goal of $5,000 since just last night, I don’t think she really set the goal high enough. She’s going to need so much help. Just an awful situation.
Sorry, when I saw this thread it rubbed me the wrong way after what’s just happened. Nothing personal toward the op. Just seemed kind of trivial when related to real life.

Bowie and Munson and Bourdain and Tom Petty and Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Williams were real people too who died in real life. There was nothing trivial about their deaths. Maybe you should get down off your high horse.
Bradshaw44's explanation about his family's employee's car accident death as "being on a high horse."
Jeez man, he's referring to something personal and immediate to him, with an added tragedy of lack of funds or life insurance.
I don't see his post as anything "high horse."
He didn't need to call anyone else's death trivial. We've all experienced personal loss of a loved one. My father died when I was 21 and my mother died when I was 27. I have a friend whose wife died giving birth to his son on Father's Day. Now he is raising a one year old son and a five year old daughter by himself and trying to write comedy after losing the love of his life. Everyone on this thread knows what it's like to lose someone. Nobody gets to avoid personal tragedy.
But that's not what this thread is about. It's specifically about the deaths of people we don't know on a personal level, but who had such an impact on our lives that we took their death very hard. If he wanted to contribute his story anyway, that's fine, I have no problem with him being inspired to share, but he didn't need to insult the rest of us along the way. Nobody's death is trivial.
And I have nothing against bradshaw44. I'm sure he's a great guy.
Joining the thread late, Thurm was my first thought, probably because of my age at the time.
