This is in memorial to my friend Asher Edgerton Austin.
May 20th, 1983 - June 7th, 2009
He struggled for a very long time with a very bad heroin addiction. Id seen him in his real ups when he was happy working in a bakery and going back to school and in his real downs when I had to revive him in the parking lot in front of my house while waiting on emergency assistance. He was a real original, an amazing artist and musician and overall an amazing person and friend.
Last year he celebrated his 26th birthday on the 20th of May. Three days later on the 23rd of May he graduated after tons of hard work with his Bachelors degree. He passed away a mere two weeks later from an overdose of heroin.
I miss talking to you and I miss your awesome flaming giraffe tattoo. We all miss you very much, Asher. Hope you finally found some peace..
