On behalf of Arlene Vera, I have set up this fundraiser to help Arlene pay for the final expenses related to the death of her only son, Brian Blade. Arlene found Brian, who had passed in his sleep, on November 24th. My goal is to raise enough money to allow Arlene to bury Brian in the family plot, and purchase a headstone. I met Brian my freshman year in High School, and he was one of my earliest influences to "live" music, as I used to watch him and his best buddies jam. He was a phenomenal guitar player and a very humble and kind soul. Arlene is planning a memorial service at Calvary Chapel in Blue Island. I will update as soon as I have the date and time.
