He was extremely creative. He could sing bass like nobody’s business. He was gentle, selfless and without guile. He loved art in all its forms. He dug computers. And, we met 20 years ago this month.

His name was Stephen Haines and he passed away tonight, the result of an illness he’s battled for too long.

There’s simply no way to say just how much we’ll miss him. You can’t put a quantity on relationships like that. I can think of no better way to describe our friendship than to say that I loved him like a brother.

Our lives have been made so much better for knowing Steve, and I’m sad beyond belief. Yet in my grief, I’m glad he’s gone home, his toils ended.

There’s so much more I can say about him. But not tonight.

…Tonight I’ll remember.
