My Little Brother Steven - Happy Birthday
Forums:
Today is the anniversary of Steven's birth. He would have been 70 years old today. If things were different & he was still alive there would be a big party today. Instead all we have is memories.
He was a well known surfer & quite a legend in Sonoma County. His home was a shrine to surfing, the Grateful Dead and rock & roll generally. Signed photos of him with everyone. It was estimated that he saw Jerry, with the Dead, JGB,, & other incarnations at least 500 times. He was quite a personality.
The newspaper article of his death & life is included here https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/bodega-bay-surfer-escapes-hou...
Even though he has been gone 7 years I still miss him & think of him every day.
There is the old saying that you only die twice. Once when you draw your last breath & once when the last person who knows you speaks your name.
I love you Steven.

Your big brother is very proud of you.
and he misses you immensely ..... every day
just yesterday, he who was ( per usual ) spoke so eloquently about you - and in doing so, indirectly he spoke to you
your second death will be far away, as your name and memories will endure
I do think i only met you once - in line for the first TXR grand opening pre shows, and i can still see you slitting near the front of the line - sitting off to the side, and yes i did see a certain glow..
peace brother jim, celebrate having Steven as long as you did, and cherish all those memories - and tip an old bourbon for him today

He sounds like he lived a truly interesting life and was loved and respected by many. I can only imagine the stories after 500 shows.
Sorry for your loss, Crabneesh. I wasn't around here when Steven passed, but your posts regarding him have always been thoughtful, informative and loving.
.....no goodbyes are an additional layer of pain to cope with that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Since you mentioned the great Harvey in an earlier message.
Perhaps you could share it for those who have no clue just how special steven is and was .

What an amazing guy. What a life. Talk about pegging the fun meter! He did it right.
Thanks for sharing him Crabneesh, and your annual remembrance of him. I wish comfort to your heart, as I'm sure losing him was/is an incredibly tough thing to go through.
