4 days ago I was giving this great young man, who was FULL of Life & Passion- a Brotherly Handshake Hug inside of K-Mart and he had out a Deposit down for a Sweet Custom Tattoo idea I was going to tattoo on his Knee Cap going down the front of his Chin. Yesterday I read over Facebook that his Memorial Service will be This Thursday the 27th at 11am in Lower Lake...

We met several years ago at Maynards in L.L. and talked about none other than- Tattoos. We met up at this year's Beer Festival in Boonville, where it seemed like us LAKE County Boys were the LAST ONES STANDING... Around the Camp Fire we talked about how we wanted to do it again the following, and make it an EPIC BEER CAMP PARTY- W/a DJ and Our own Sound system. The whole 9. It was our 1st year there... And we experienced it all together. prom wearing which backtrack to 1920

Now. This once amazing young & well traveled man Rory McCarthy .... Is no longer here with us physically. And this is a tough one. B/c his presence has been described as MY Presence was one described ...& he was said to touch so many lives w/his Positive Energy and Love. No wonder I felt so close to him. I saw a reflection of myself in him and felt so good -humbled & honoured to hear him tell me that he felt "good vibes" from myself, when we really got to hang out.

I was looking so FORWARD to tattooing this toung man this week...

Now... I don't know what exactly I will do with the Art that I'm still going to complete for Him. Even though it will not be on his body... I miss him, something odd, since I didn't get to share in Life Events w/him even .001% of what most people here who knew him DID. But yet I felt that we had been not just friends, but "Brothers" for many many years.

His Tattoos were indeed his STORIES. of Parts of his Life. And things that were in his BLOOD. Life. It was very Rich in him. No one will forget that about him. John McCarthy ... I'm right here Brother. You tell me what I can do for you all. As best as My Means are Available ... I want to be of assistance and relief of The Heavy Hearts... As mine is very heavy right now. I can't hide that I have Tears in my eyes as I write this... And now,

I must go. I can't see my key pad that Well.
So to everyone here who reads this all the way through, and you knew Rory -he touched your Life in a Beautiful way... I'm here as a Pillar -for you to vent to. To console with.

Just message me.

Love those around you while you can. For you never know when they are going to go... & make that great journey into the other side.

Blessings to you All -Godspeed be your Time.
