One month ago today on June 19, my son, Joey, passed away unexpectedly at age 13 due to complications from surgery he had on June 10.

My little force of nature had a beautiful smile, warm heart, irresistible laugh and sweet personality. Music played such an integral part of Joey’s life and my connection with him. He had taken up the drums in the past year and we attended a number of concerts together. Unfortunately, we never had a chance to see my favorite band, Pearl Jam, together.

In order to have something to look forward to, I am flying from Los Angeles to attend the Austin City Limits show on Sunday, Oct. 12.

If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you would play "Long Road" and dedicate it to Joey on that date.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Dan Thomasimage

    Sorry for your loss. I couldn't even imagine... Nothing could ever fill the void, but try to remember all the good times. Hope they play that song for you. One of my favorites too. Peace.
