Re: It's your friends that make your world
This is incredibly sad! :(:(:(
I only met Steve once during the Pensacola meet-up but he was such a warm and friendly guy, that I immediately felt a close affinity to him. On top of all that, he was an incredible dj. My mind is still trying to comprehend this, and its utterly heartbreaking to find out things happened the way they did.
You will be missed Steve. :(
Re: It's your friends that make your world
I cant even begin to wrap my head around what has transpired over the past 72 hours...
all I keep thinking about is the 16 hours me and Steve spent in a car driving to and from Pensacola. Yes that weekend was amazing, but that time spent together was arguably the best part of the trip.. talking about everything possible life, music, women, clubbing, just random stuff... ive never laughed so hard in my life.. that and listening to some of the best music ever with someone that wasnt only a great friend but an inspiration
love you mate
more later, i cant do this now :(

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.[/quote]
Fuck this sucks.
FUCK.
FUCK.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
Steve/jibs was one of the first people I'd become friends with through MS. We had many conversations through IM and soulseek through the years on any number of subjects, from music to life in general.
Fortunately, when I started going to WMC regularly I would meet up and hang with him or just randomly run into him at just about every party I'd go to...apparently we had very similar tastes in music (not to say that he didn't cover so many parties down there that you'd eventually run into him anyways ;) ). Though he often put on quite a harsh exterior (when not in party-mode) and displayed a warped sense of humor (much appreciated though I admit), Steve was always a great man of heart.
He will be sorely missed. With much love, sadness and tears streaming, Rest in Peace Steve :(
Re: It's your friends that make your world
i am sick to my stomach right now. i talked to steve on slsk often, always had so much respect for the guy. witty, wry sense of humour. all-round great person.
as heartbroken as we all are, this is truly a horrible day for his close friends and family. you will be in my thoughts, I can only imagine how this has affected you.
lots of love, Steve. :(
Re: It's your friends that make your world
I still have an IM window open from him the other day and I can't bring myself to close it. :(
Re: It's your friends that make your world
I want you all to know that the MS family was one of the brightest spots in Steve's troubled soul. He loved you all very much.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
:LoveYou:
Re: It's your friends that make your world
i'm so torn and in sorrow right now... but i cant imagine the pain you guys are going through... :(
i'm a new face here, and tho i have never met him in person... he had made me feel more than welcome when i fucked up. in the little that i knew him, i understood him as a truly great and unique individual... one who's loving understanding, humor, inclusiveness and mix-sets, warmed and radiated far and beyond barriers, as well as penetrated and connected past our personalities and touched the soul. they say death is like the shedding of a hair or like the changing of clothes -- just a steady diggers transition. so have a nice biker run and journey Steve. im sure we will all cross paths in future lives. cheers foreva brotha.
best of wishes and regards to all family and friends. :(
edit: i just got back from my narcotics anonymous meeting this afternoon, and i pretty much cried when i shared... you can guess some of the things i shared about. i have this urge that i have to come on here and express to everyone here this, cos, there is little if anyone i can talk to about this kind of stuff in my life. friends and family are pretty much indifferent to experiences such as these... but im sure some of us here understand the subtle lonliness of depression, addiction, and such... help us.
i'm grateful for u Jib, thank you and respect.
RIP Steve
Re: It's your friends that make your world
I was thinking of him over the weekend. Was hoping to make another trip to p-cola with Clint soon to visit.

[quote=Bender420;674994]I was thinking of him over the weekend. [/quote]
Me to, man. On Saturday, I went on AIM to see if he was around. He wasn't....Then I got to thinking about some of the stuff that he has gone through...The pep talks we used to give eachother, meeting up @ Hyde Park Cafe in Tampa and being too drunk to even walk, confessing our deepest sins about women, relationships, getting drunk and talking on AIM on a Friday or Saturday night...We both agreed how big of losers we were to be home on a weekend talking to eachother drinking by ourselves (But with eachother)....These past few months I noticed that he and I talked less and less, he posted on here less than usual....I felt that something wasn't right... After noticing that he wasn't on AIM this past Saturday when I checked, I thought about all of this...I drank a lot of absinthe that afternoon, passed out early, but when I woke up...I felt something that I haven't felt since my grandfather died....You just know when something isn't right, and then I read the post this morning about all of this....Too surreal.

its a bit blurry, but i love this picture from Beach Plaza Hotel WMC 2006 [IMG]http://www.tampahousemusic.com/images/WMC06/images/thm-ms-movim_jpg.jpg[/IMG]
Re: It's your friends that make your world
I'm gutted to hear this. I never knew him personally, but all of those who have attested to thier friendship with him have deeply moved me. Grief is the price we pay for love, and these messages here attest to how much we all cared and loved him.
Rest in peace, Steve.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
he filled a void in my life for 3 years when i moved to atlanta. he was my only close friend in a huge city for a long time. i still have no idea what to think/say/feel. :Scared2:
Re: It's your friends that make your world
deeps thoughts to him and his loved ones fuck
Re: It's your friends that make your world
I've probably spent 2 weeks of my life in Steve's presence. After a week-long music-mullering in Miami with him and friends, or him and some random girl he had met waking my half-naked ass up at seven am, or just the two of us drinking and bullshitting on his couch at 5 in the morning to The Big Lebowski, his outlook on life was always consistent... life was too short to sleep it away when there's anything else to do.
Miami, Tampa, Miami, Miami, Pensacola... There were definitely some good times over the years. RIP Steve, you'll be missed

Re: It's your friends that make your world
let this be a message to anyone/everyone that feels depressed and trapped. please, for fucking sake, talk to someone about it. steve's solution is NEVER the correct solution.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
i'm really at a loss for what to say. such a truely genuine guy, with a great sense of humor!!! i'll always remember my conversations with him during the p-cola weekend. it seemed like everytime almost everytime we spoke we got engrosed in a deep conversation about music, except of course, when we were cracking up laughing. it seems we had a very similar twisted sense of humor!

seconded. my PM is open and i'll give my cell phone #. whatever it takes. even right now, if you want to just express your feelings, i'm there for you all to listen.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
How horribly sad :( I met him at WMC and he was a gentle soul in a big man. He was so nice, friendly and truly funny. I feel for those he left behind.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
This is very very sad news .. from the posts Steve affected a lot of us and will be fondly remembered. My thoughts go out to his dear friends on here and so very importantly, the family he left behind.
Hopefully he's sitting up there in Heaven on a pair of CDJ's, surfing [ms] and considering his next wisecrack !
RIP Steve, you'll be sorely missed, but forever in our hearts.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
Well he went with a blast! Check his September the 15th Session nice stuff from Jib´s him self This is how I´ll remember you mate
:RockOn:
Re: It's your friends that make your world
wow... im so sad right now. steve was like the friend who told you vile jokes to keep ya happy when u werent. talked to him a lot via PMs and IM's ... always made me shit my pants with his humor. i really hope that this has a positive effect on someone out there. cuz i know he was nothing short of a great soul who impacted people often in a great manner.
RIP steve

Re: It's your friends that make your world
We are working on doing a Memorial event over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend on Pensacola Beach at JELLY which Steve played at quite a bit for the past couple years. We are still working out details but you can email me or Hafid Atzel aka THE LIGHT to get on the group email of updated for this.
For the Pensacola FSM EDM crew, this has been extremely hard for us. This is the second time this has happened to someone so close to our Pensacola crew this past year. Many of us weren't even over the previous incident in April. In the short amount of time that he had lived here, he affected some many, so quickly. After finding out about his previous battles with de-pression, many of us spent all day Sunday looking for him with no avail. I was dreading the phone call I got yesterday afternoon and was hoping for different news. Such great creative talent lost to the dark abyss of depression. Still distraught and utterly shocked.
God Speed and God Bless to everyone on [ms].

Re: It's your friends that make your world
steve was the kind of person that would do the following (on MSNmessenger)
me- hey man, how ya doing steve - good man steve- u? me -- aaah ok i guess, kinda had a shitty day, frustrated ya know steve- well it could be worse, you could have boils on your balls from the asain whore i met saturday. me- LOL steve - no seriously, do you know what cremes are good? me - lol, gotta go steve - say hi to your sister for me, tell her the child support is coming as soon as i can.
he just had that effect on you where you'd always be laughing when you were done. lightening up your day if he had the oppurtunity to. his heart was in the right place. he knew how to push everyones buttons to make us smile.

Re: It's your friends that make your world
^^Classic...Just got back from having a toast to him with his favorite, Jack Daniels. Cheers Jib. :)
Re: It's your friends that make your world
The last time I saw Steve was when he had left Sunday School for Degenerates cuz he was bored in the AM, and then he calls me 5 hours later saying he's bored and how is the party...
He didn't have enough $$$ to get back in so I met him at the door to the Pawnshop and paid his $45 cover to hang out with him for a few more hours before he had to drive back home from Miami.
Fuckin Degenerate, lol.
Glad I got those 5 extra hours now.
Re: It's your friends that make your world
