Even though I spent 4 years under Mr. Pearson's musical baton (1967-71), I didn't know all of this background about him.  I think that is a testimony to his humility and also shows what an incredible musician and teacher he was!  He instilled in me my love for instrumental music, which continues to this day.  After high school, I was a member of my college band (Texas Tech's Goin' Band from Raiderland) and even married a band director!  I will miss and think of him as I attend the TMEA conference in San Antonio this week, as I would often run into him and catch up with him there.  God bless you, John Pearson, for what you meant to me and to so many other students.  What a beautiful life, well lived!

I, too, am very sad to hear of Brian's passing.  I also had just messaged him through FB regarding his mother's passing, as I had lost my mom a year and a half ago.  He actually thanked me for my message the day he was killed.  Life is so very fragile and we certainly need to make the most of every single day we are given!  Rest in peace, Brian.  You will be missed!

Hi, Hindi! I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I lost my mother a little over a year ago, and I know it's hard, even though it may be time for them. I'm thinking of you and your family and sending hugs and prayers to you!

Susan, thank you so much for posting about Rev. Bush. I had not seen anything on FB so i had not heard that news. He also married my husband and me back in 1975, so he always meant a lot to our family. Blessing and prayers go out to all of his family.

Nan, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I lost my mom this time last year and I know how hard that is. Blessings to you as you go through this time and for peace.

Blessings to you as you walk through this chapter, remembering all the wonderful memories you have and as you look ahead to the days with out her.

Hi, Le Nan, I was sorry to hear about the loss of Donny's mom. I lost my mom back in January and it's hard losing our moms. Hope you both are doing well and enjoying your hill country life!

Hi, Don, I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I'm sure she will be greatly missed! I lost my mother back in January, and it's always hard losing your mom. Take care and blessings to you!

I thought so much of Mike too!  My mom and dad threw a little graduation party for me and I remember a bunch of us dancing in our garage!  He was a great guy and I'm sure will be missed by many. Condolences go out to his family.
