IT'S YOUR FRIENDS THAT MAKE YOUR WORLD

Your own positive energy will compel things to turn out the way you desire when you're surrounded by positive people. Choose your environment with care.

Your environment is your mental feeding ground. It's where all the food that goes into your mind comes from.

Choose your environment with care, one that is positive, one that lifts you up and gives you wings to soar.

Create favorable conditions through your association with others. Avoid people who belittle your ambition. Small people always do that, but the really great people, make you feel that you, too, can become great.

We shape our buildings, and then they shape us.

R.I.P. Steve "JibJolly" James - you will be missed. :(

You always see him around on [ms], he's one of the people that I always identify with this community, there's gonna be one big Jib-hole that can't be filled. :(

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I am more than devasted to report that this is true. Steve was more than loved, but unfortunately sometimes being loved is not enough to make life bearable. Steve passed from this world on November 8, 2008.

I will miss him and will remember always.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

RIP Steve, you will always be remembered.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

Didn't realize the news was already on the forum.

I hope he finally found his peace, I cannot imagine how things must've looked for him that he chose this path instead of life. So much talent, and a good heart wasted for this world now. All strenght to his family, and friends.

ROCK ON UP THERE STEVE, I can only imagine you dj-ing in heaven now, for a crowd of angels bouncing on the clouds.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

:(RIP Steve!

Pretty much all that I have thought about today. As a community of people scattered all over the world ms has touched my life by the fellowship of the people on it.

What comes to mind was Steve's passion of the Shield series which he shared his comments after every episode. This made me feel like I knew him because we had something in common. We will keep you up to speed on how it ends.

My prayers for his family and friend and all the people who knew him.

Hamba Kahle Steve!

Nice one Yao :D

Re: It's your friends that make your world

Oh no !! This is just so awful :( I j keep thinking that as a member of the MS family could I/we have done anything, but I know we couldn't, by the time it gets to this there is nothing anyone can do . I really hope his friends and family know this. My thoughts and heart go out to them. This is probably the worst way to lose someone.

I remember this thread, [url]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52724&highlight=Chris+fortier+Absolute+hero[/url] firstly because he got so much out of it and then because so much of what he said would apply to him . I would never have believed it was possible to feel so close to someone you have never met. I wish he knew how much he meant to us.

These posts of his.

[QUOTE]chris fortier is a Florida boy. and i'll be damned if any Florida OG can't stand up to the test and come out on top. this makes me proud to hear your story and sad at the same time as i'm sure you lot were pumped to hear an earful of seaman. however, knowing that Fortier stood up and rocked the place several times it a true testament to his ability and upbringing.

at this moment I AM PROUD TO BE A FLORIDA CRACKER![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]thats how we have been brought up. play til the crowd leaves. i was born with the same blood as Mr Fortier and at times have been known to get on my knees behind the decks. it's just something we are unable to quit whilst there are people a plenty to listen. I'm actually glowing a bit knowing that chris played til his blood ran thin and am more proud than ever to come from the same place as him. he is, and always will be, an inspiration to people like me.

to chris..:RockOn::RockOn::RockOn::RockOn::RockOn:[/QUOTE]

Well goodbye Florida Cracker, I'm so sorry I will never be able to meet you now.

To Steve :RockOn::RockOn::RockOn::RockOn::RockOn:

Re: It's your friends that make your world

Oh Jesus this is way out there... :(

I´ll just say that I loved the way he talked about how seeig Digweed live was such an inspiration to him, I remember that bit in his bio on his site, and that was inspiring to me too... I passed a few of his sets around to people @ the board I moderate on...

In a way Steve embodied the love for the music... one of the persons whose posts I most like to read on here.

RIP Steve, and keep on slayin´them up there :Respect::Respect::Respect: :RockOn:

Re: It's your friends that make your world

Steve you were my rock, my confidant but more importantly someone I could proudly call my friend.

I loved you from the bottom of my heart as I know you did me. I am so sad and angry that you are no longer here :(

You are going to be missed for a long time and never forgotten....I hope you are at peace and looking down and seeing just how much we all love you and miss you.....I feel like a piece of my heart is missing and I know it's because it's with you

Your footprint is forever on my soul and in my heart. RIP my dear friend. I love you xoxoxoxoxo

Re: It's your friends that make your world

R.I.P. brother. Lots of stuff i'd like post, this is all i got for now. I'll miss ya.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

May the Lord hold you in his arms, protect you and give you peace.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

Eternal Peace to you Brother

Re: It's your friends that make your world

OMG...I'm in such shock right now. I can't believe it. My tears are spilling over. I only met him once, but he made a really great impression on me. He gave me one the most impressive and warm bear hugs when we met. Such a good..goood heart. Rip Steve! We will miss you very much. My condolences to his family and Pensacola crew.:(

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I can't even finish my breakfast...... Steve and I talked on AIM almost every night that he and I were on... We talked about everything, shared music, sets, talked about life and how much it sucked. We both were very depressed but we always seemed to talk each other out of it even if just for a little bit. We knew what we liked, and it was the music. He knew what tracks to send me, and I knew what tracks to send him. We knew our tastes like no other. I knew he was having a hard time, but to hear of this just shocks me...

Re: It's your friends that make your world

I know how you feel lisensa....I talked to him every day on MSN and I was even talking to him via text on Saturday....he never even said anything :(

The last text message I got from him on Saturday he gave me a big giant hug and he thanked me for everything...I didn't even clue in....I miss him so much :(

Re: It's your friends that make your world

Jibbed Pickled and Mullered in Miami – That’s my ever lasting memory of Steve.

I was one of the few that were lucky enough to meet Steve. I spent a whole week with him and Pickle at the Miami Music Conference in 2006. Between the three of us we had a fantastic week. I could never thank Steve and Adam enough for that.

I know Steve has had a hard time of it over the past couple of years, starting with his long-term girlfriend and him splitting up. I know from the many conversations we had that this really was difficult for him to come to terms with, so much so that he and I almost fell out over it. At the time I understood what he was going through and so I ignored the bitterness he showed. I know he had a few problems at home too, he was at a stage where drinking was the only way out for him. He was rock bottom.

But then he found himself a new lady and I thought things were looking brighter for him. He was at the last WMC and from conversations I’ve had with people that were there he showed no signs that he was a guy who was thinking about taking his own life. Obviously things have happened that we don’t know about. Things that have just tipped Steve over the edge.

Man, when I heard the news this morning it was like someone had ripped out my stomach. I have only met this guy once, I didn’t realise I could be so emotionally attached to a person who I never see?

Everything else is insignificant today; work is pointless, I can think of anything else but Steve.

As most of us, I’m feeling totally empty at the moment.

Take care Steve, I love ya.

Mikeman

This will be my memory of Steve...at the best party ever, John Digweed at the Vagabond! I'm happy we got to experience that together.

Re: It's your friends that make your world

these are very sad times for all of us indeed. from the first time we ever met steve he was a part of our family. it was almost 3 years ago to the day (november 12, 2005) when steve, garrick, and ken first came to pensacola. they all fit in with our crew so well ... especially steve. we immediately knew that this was a life-long bond that had been formed. he shared our off-kilter humor, our deep love of the music, and had an endearing quirkiness about him. he also had one the biggest, gentlest hearts i've ever known. i was so happy to find out that he was moving here. i thought it would be a positive thing for him and his life, as well as the rest of us who would get to have him around on a regular basis instead of just once or twice a year.

i hope he knows how many people all over the world love him so dearly. we certainly did. i hope he's found peace for his troubled mind and soul. i still feel shocked ... hurt ... broken. and a multitude of other emotions flooding all at the same time. i already miss his amazing comfort hugs.

steve we love you. we miss you. rest in peace my friend.

<3
