Hello everyone, this is my first time posting and I don't really know how to say what I would like to. My boyfriend introduced me to satch when we first started dating about 4 and a half years ago. Satch has been an incredible inspiration in his life and mine. He started playing guitar a couple years before I met him and was already teaching other people how to play while he was in high school. He loved Satch's music and even wrote a few songs of his own. He received a full ride scholarship to Drake University in Des Moines, IA for his music. He has always been an incredibly passionate player and loved teaching others, especially me about music.
Satch's music made his life what it was, it inspired him and taught him passion. He has always been amazed by the passion that Satch shows while playing.
About three months ago though he lost his battle with depression and took his own life. Since then I have been struggling to understand and to continue on, we had an amazing love for each other and many plans for our future. I had never seen so much passion in anyone as when he picked up a guitar. The only passion that even come close is to that I see when I watch videos of Satch playing.
I write this post not looking for sympathy or pity or donations to his memorial fund but simply because I feel compelled to let Satch know what an amzing influence he was on this life. He gave my boyfriend a reason to live for a time. It just became too much for him and he could not bear the pain he was feeling anymore. I continue to listen to Satch's music, and Chickenfoot (as my boyfriend absolutely loved the band as well). Along with Steve Vai's and Jason Becker's music, as these were the three biggest influences in his musical career. I find comfort in them, knowing that the man I loved was made through them.
Again I am not writing to ask for pity, just because I know how huge of an influence Satch and his music had on his life and to let Satch know this. I hope he gets the chance to read this as I know he is busy. This is a link to one of my boyfriend's music videos, one from soon after he started playing, this video is one of my favorites and I feel like it really shows the love he had for guitar, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTBz_T7ruLU
If you would like to see more of his videos he has two different channels on youtube.

Mikey, you have a lot of good'uns from Medford! The sneakers are the lawn mowing grass stained kicks that stay at the back door. Maybe he felt like he was outside? lol!

Kayla and Ovation1, I just want to say thank you so much for listening to my story. I hate to be a downer on such a wonderful message board. it touches my heart to know that even complete strangers are here for me. It has been a rough road and I've learned a lot. I learned a lot from Alecs and he lives on in my heart. Satch's music has always been so healing and relaxing for me. and I am so thankful Alecs introduced me to it.
Thank you again so much for your thoughts and know that your families are in mine. I've read about some struggles of people's families on here and I intend to be a more frequent visitor of the message board but I'm in the midst of finals week.
I hope that everyone and their families are doing well. I would like to extend the same offer that you have to me. I lost my grandmother to cancer a few years ago and I know what a struggle having someone in the family suffering can be. If anyone ever needs an ear I am here. jordanheiman@yahoo.com

Oh lawd
I think you missed it more Mr. London, I had a fantabalous 40 days
I watched "I am Legend" last night, when those creature things get into the sunlight and go nuts and die, It's quite a good representation for how I feel every morning getting up at this ungodly hour
