MODS or anyone - touching story

So I'm in the merch line today and the guy in front of me was telling me how this show would be difficult for him and starts tearing up and tells me and a few others how his show partner was always his brother. He and his brother were supposed to attend Friday night together. However, his brother who had become a quadriplegic after a terrible accident (years ago) unexpectedly passed in May.

I don't know how all this works but I'm sure it would really mean a lot to get a song dedication. I've seen a few other similar requests maybe they could get a combo dedication or something.

The man's brother's name was Craig.

Please bump for a dedication.

Thanks all.

    That's pretty awful, it would be nice to do something for him. I think "brother" would be perfect, or maybe "otherside". "I'm not the same without you here"

    That sounds rough. Maybe the band can do something along the lines like Light Years for him, or his brother's favorite song. Sad story.

    gettingright, really classy post. I love how you heard this story and felt moved to try something for Craig and his brother. Thank you.

    And Craig, if you visit these boards, with or without a dedication, people will be thinking of you both. You lost your brother, sounds to me like you lost a friend there as well.

    Take care, enjoy the show and honouring the love you and your brother had for each other and the love you shared with each other.
