My dear longtime friend and ex-roomate in college, and an old bandmate, Brian passed away yesterday from a heart attack. :( He was only 36 years old. I am in shock at the moment, and just don't know how to react yet. He and i were pretty close for the last 16 years and i will miss him. He was a Queen fan too, and we shared that musical venture together. He will be missed sorely by me, his wife, and by the Queen and Zeppling Community. Sorry i am venting here, but he was a Queen fan and visited this site numerous times in the past. |

My condolences. It never gets easy when you lose someone close but you should remember the good times and not the bad. Take care. |
| Crezchi 28.11.2006 20:02 |

I'm sorry, that's terrible. I hope you and all effected by his death get better! But oddly, just today at school I heard from a friend a similar story..it actually sounds just the same.. |

Thanks guys. :) You all are sweet. |
| Mr.Jingles 28.11.2006 21:15 |
My deepest condolences. Losing a friend is losing many times more difficult than losing a family member, so I can imagine how difficult this must be for you. Stay strong... life only goes on. |
| magicalfreddiemercury 28.11.2006 21:25 |
I'm so sorry to hear this. The pain of losing someone close is incredible and takes time to lessen. Many of us have been there and understand what you're going through. My deepest sympathies to you and to his family. |

I am sorry for the loss of your bandmate and friend so suddenly. A good friend of mine of 16 years died suddenly two weeks ago. It is not a good thing. I don't like it. It is incomprehensible. Delores was the hardest working woman I have ever known. She had 11 kids (grown now) She always put others before herself which resulted in her falling asleep instantly whenever she sat down. She slept off and on during many theater movies. I would nudge her, "Delores, wake up!" So, as she lay there in her coffin I said, "Delores, wake up, wake up. I'm not kidding. You have to wake up! Now!" Hmm, well, that didn't work. I find two Queen songs helpful for these kinds of situations. One is Roger Taylor's Say It's Not True. Some say crying is good because it releases emotions. In addition I have my own unfounded scientific theory that crying somehow rebalances the body chemistry. The other song is The Show Must Go On. I don't know how old you are, but maybe 20 years ago there was a book called On Death And Dying by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. She talked about five stages of grief patients (long-term illnesses), family and friends MAY go through, and not in any particular order. Denial and Isolation. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. These can take hours, days, weeks, months, years, and even decades in some cases. One day you may find yourself at peace and accepting what has happened, and then the next day you might be madder than hell about it. You may find yourself shifting in and out of the various stages, and, apparently, that is normal (if it is not too extreme such as wanting to harm yourself or others.) Here is a link in case you or someone you know may find it helpful. link The dilemma of having someone close to you die is not only the loss of the person, but is also a partial loss of the person YOU WERE with that person. And being in a band there is the creative exhilaration you all experienced that may shift. I wish you well. Keep the Faith (whatever that might mean to you.) |

That's awful news.... 36. Just awful. "Losing a friend is losing many times more difficult than losing a family member" ??? Depends on the family. |

I'm So Sorry |

My condolences. I'm sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. |

i'm sorry for your loss. it really sucks when someone has to go far away. but i guess he's in a happier place now. |
| Freddies Delilah 29.11.2006 09:33 |
That's awful. My deepest sympathies. I've never lost someone close to me, apart from my dog and that was bad enough, so I can't say I understand how you feel. I just hope you're all right. Take care. I'll put in a prayer for you tonight. |
| Janet 29.11.2006 09:44 |
So sorry about your loss. |

Jesus Christ. That's way too young. :( My condoleances. |
| AspiringPhilosophe 29.11.2006 16:19 |
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. As hard as this is to deal with, be strong. Life goes on, and as long as you remember the ones you've lost, they'll never really be gone. My sympathies |
| Donna13 29.11.2006 18:12 |
I'm very sorry for your loss. |
| Crezchi 29.11.2006 23:19 |
Thanks guys. I really appreciate the words. His funeral is tomorrow (Thurs), i know it will be hard, but i will stay strong for him. I may print these comments out if it is ok, to put in his casket with him, to show him that even though he didn't know you, you still show the love for another Queen fan. |
| Queen-Obsessed 29.11.2006 23:23 |
I'm very sorry for your loss. :( Remember the good times and think of him rocking out up there with Freddie :) |
| danny1 34933 29.11.2006 23:41 |
God be with you tomorrow. |
| AspiringPhilosophe 30.11.2006 10:56 |
That's a sweet guesture, and I don't really think anyone here would mind that. You'll be ok today, just be strong. |
