Our Friend Kevin Paul Moore:

I might have a different view of death than some. The way I look at it is I am no longer into Funerals. I don't want to have a Funeral when so called friends show up to look at me dead lying in a coffin. That's why I am choosing cremation, and I don't want any type of gathering after. If you are my true friend you will visit me while I'm alive!, that's when it counts being there for you. At some Funerals many people come to see that person lying in a coffin and someone will say he or she looked good, WHAT! I have never seen anybody that's dead look good. And many of these people have never seen this individual in years and they live in the same city or town. If you want to come and see me do it while I'm living! don't do it when I am dead when it will mean nothing to me. True friends will come to see me while I am alive, that's when it counts, not after my body has left this earth.

Why would I want to burn twice!!!!!????

I have thought about this a lot. I want somewhere that anyone - who just happens to give a rat's ass - can come and visit my remains and complain about my guitar playing, or anything. I suppose this stems from a belief that we go somewhere after death..either dimensionally or something....maybe cremation...i guess...that's not so bad, then mix the ashes with potting soil and plant a tree, so that the ashes can become one with the tree????

Not trying to be harsh Rob, I am just a firm believer in this, we visit our close friends frequently they are truly friends because we know them inside and out, and that's what separates friends from acquaintances. Your true friends you spend much time with them, they become part of your family, they truly care about you because they show it by being there for you through thick and thin, almost like a spouse would. Many that show up at funerals are just acquaintances. Come and see me and show your true friendship when I am alive, when we can laugh and cry together, and have that bond that true friends have. There will be no pine box for myself or my Wife and our friends and Family know that and they have no issues with it.
 
I lost my daughter two years ago and I miss her dearly. She loved facebook and posted her day to day life there. I do not care for facebook, however I did place a post there on her birthday although I know she will never read it. I honor my daughter with memories of better times. When she was healthy and happy, not on her deathbed.

Kevin was a likable person, sometimes a bit of a odd bird, often hard to understand where he was coming from. However I liked him. I did not know he had a tribute page until reading this just now, but we did make a tribute to him on this site where everyone here will know that we liked and miss Kevin.
 
Agree Wav. I haven’t frequented that many Forums..... but TTR is an oddity for sure. It’s more family than a bunch of gear heads arguing which amp/guitar/pedal/etc is best and if you don’t agree, go poop on yourself. I like that. Uhm. To be clear. We get along.

Re. Sessions and Roberts recent comments. When it’s my turn, my only instructions are for my family to throw me a party. Play loud music. Tell lies about me. Have a good time. Yes. Some tears. But I want lots of laughter. It’s how I’ve lived..... sense of humor.

As for what happens after that. Burial. Cremation. Shot into space. Not my call. I’m not here anymore.

I can appreciate that, most certainly. I guess i have become accustomed to memorials with many - even over 100 in attendance, so this just unsettled me...

Im still undecided on final preparations. Maybe cremation isnt so bad, although being burned twice seems a bit redundant.

Maybe ashes mixed in with potting soil and planted in such a way that they become part of a tree.

I do know that my marker shall read:

"As You Are Now, So Once Was I....As I Am Now, So Will You Be."

@Mitch Pearrow SJMP sorry to hear of the loss of your Father

@WavMixer sorry to hear of the loss of your Daughter.

The loss of a loved one the mind can't comprehend, but the heart must bear.
Only time passing can break down the pain, leaving just the Love and Memories clear.

I know this all to well, thou I've not known them, I grieve the loss in my heart also.

stringtree KP is missed by many here on TTR . He had a good sense of humour, one that if you weren't in tune with him you might think it to be somewhat peculiar . He had a heart of gold, he liked everyone. You couldn't help liking Kevin Paul, he will always be missed R.I.P KP. stringtree thanks for your acknowledgment of our past friend.

Very nice and sweet post, John... (y)
 
The loss of a loved one goes well beyond the depths of mere words,
I'm so taken back by the out pouring of Love shared on his behalf as well as others here who
have shared in this time of sadness.

The closer one is, the deeper the pain. I feel it in this thread.

I've not commented on all the posts, all are Liked and Loved in my Heart.

This is, and will always be a tender subject for me, as well as for all here, and my words are sincere
and from my heart as well as all here that have expressed so.

John

(not my intent to open recent pain, just paying respect)

2-9-06 we lost our son Jarrod
12–15-07 we lost our son Jerry
They are always missed but never forgotten.
The holidays are the worst.
My wife is a very emotional woman, and I have a hard time dealing with all of it, in my own way. I became a member here after Kevin’s passing, but I do know the feelings behind all this , and the passing of Grants daughter.
Thanks for letting me express my condolences to all who have lost a loved one.
