My dear friend and partner in Guitarfire took his life this morning (12/13/14). He lost a long fight with depression. It is hard to fathom that the music's over!

So sad. I am familiar with the battlefield. Contact your local NAMI group. Should be in the phone book. Take care.

Really sorry to hear that. It's a damn shame, as the piece that OMA posted up was brilliant.

Hope you're doing OK yourself, Dobro.

Thanks to everyone for the compassion. I feel most for his kids (four: 19, 24, 24, 28): still young and vulnerable! Our last gig was the wedding of his daughter not even two months ago...

Absolutely tragic news, Greg. I am so sorry and my sympathies go out to his family and to you as well. Please don't believe the music is over. The music you and Jeff made was beautiful, touched many and will live on.

RIP, Jeff.

So sorry, Greg. Depression is truly an awful thing, and people can't understand it.

Shocking but mental illness of any kind can be a terrible burden to carry.
Thoughts and prayers out to you and his family.

That's just awful to hear, my sincere condolences. Its an insidious disease that has impacted my life as well. I hope you have someone you can talk to -- it definitely helps.

This is a depressing time of year for many people, especially for those who already suffer from depression. It's sad that Jeff couldn't make it through. My heart goes out to his family.
