Thank you everyone for the kind words towards Laker Taker. Yes it is a big blow to the Circus and to all his friends. One of the founding members of the Newfound Circus. It'll be a bit more quiet on the radio without his sarcastic fun loving humor. To think, We were just ice fishing literally weeks ago and then got hit with the news. Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with nothing they could do. No time, with only weeks, a month or so, best case. It was shocking and sudden. Laker Taker fought the good fight knowing his time was very limited, kept his priorities, pride and sense of humor throughout and died peacefully with his family surrounding him. Just 2 weeks prior, his father passed (non-covid related) and unfortunately they didn't get to see each other due to his own quickly deteriorating condition. He's with his father and his wife now, no pain or suffering. I've been busy making Youtube videos with and for him over the past several weeks up till his passing. He's suggested songs and approved his videos for public viewing with the exception of the last 2 (part 5 & 6) however i am having his family approve them for me first before I publish them. They're made for him, his family, his friends and for those who didn't get the oppurtunity to meet or get to know him. I know his family is reading this thread so all the condolences and best wishes are very heart felt albeit eye opening for them to see that he has reached those near and far. He'd be happy too. Yes, definitely rest in Peace Laker Taker. Till we meet again. Jiggin.
