‘He was a good friend. And f*** was he was funny! Witty. Made me laugh in that deep, unexpected way that catches in your chest and makes the whole day feel lighter.
‘I keep thinking about the things he still had lined up – that wandering horse trek somewhere wide and dusty, the fiddle under his chin, motorcycle trips, the quiet courage of getting his art out into the world. Trying to make the world a little better. Homey. All the pieces of a life still calling to him.
‘I hope wherever you’ve gone Konnie, it’s open country and good tunes. I hope there’s time to finish what you started. Miss you already x I love you.
More to come.
