Growing up without a mother is a strange thing for a little boy. There’s something about a mother’s love that’s greater than all else. Whilst I never knew that privilege in particular, it set me up for something that I believe to be greater for me. This woman stepped in where no one else would—at a time in her life a then 60 year old woman had no business trying to tame an angry, aimless, displaced, dumbass little 14 year old boy; but she rose to that occasion no less and showed me just how deep unconditional love goes. A mother’s love is an amazing thing, but what this woman had to reach down inside herself to do for me and everyone else in this family can only be considered as divine. So now, Ma, as strange as life has been-I hope you can use this time to rest, and to enjoy the fruits of your labor and love. I hope you rest your head knowing just how much you mean to us all. I never did get to have my mother, but I had something greater. I had you. Happy Mother’s Day Ma, I love you with everything I am.

“𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖐𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖉𝖔𝖒 𝖔𝖋 𝖘𝖆𝖑𝖛𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝕿𝖆𝖐𝖊 𝖒𝖊 𝖍𝖔𝖒𝖊” A sleepless night, so I made this in honor of both my brother, as well as @xmikeywarriorx tribute to Bo. I hope they’re both kicking ass, wherever they may roam. Love ya, kid.

𝓑𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓸𝓷 𝓙𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓼 𝓜𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓲 •2007-2026• Never in a million years did I think these words would be the words I’d be writing, and even less for whom I’d be writing them for. A bright and promising light in this life with all of the world, all of the future, all of his hopes and dreams ahead of him. A cliche to say that he was soft, kind, charming and handsome-but no truer words could be spoken about the kid. He was talented, dedicated, strong-willed, and tough as a motherfucker; while simultaneously being one of the most soft spoken and sensitive young men you’d ever meet. In his final days, Brandon spent much of his time reading his Bible and practicing his faith. While I’ve never been anything of a religious person, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t extend a little plea to whomever it was that he spoke with to take good care of my brother. There is never a better time than now to express your love and gratitude to those who mean anything to you. Send that text, laugh about that memory, squash that beef, bother them, pay for dinner, send flowers, comment on their post, speak your fucking mind with all the love in your heart. Live in those moments until there are no more moments to share. “𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒏’𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅𝒔, 𝑰’𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝒂𝒔 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖; 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆.” Rest easy, Brando.

𝕭𝖔 𝕷𝖚𝖊𝖉𝖊𝖗𝖘 || 1987-♾️ The hardcore community is such a special place for so many. In all of its magic and violence, there is an immeasurable sense of embrace, unity, and compassion. You don’t have to know the person to your left but you know that you are of the same cloth, and often times, that is more than enough. If you’re part of it you know, with the utmost certainty, that this unique and fucked up powder keg of every walk of life you’d expect(and some you wouldn’t) is the safest place on earth for you. Despite its many flaws, this community is -arguably- in one of the best shapes it has ever been in. We owe so much of that to this man, and his infinite contributions to the art, to the history, to the culture, the scene, and to the future. Despite the royalty he was, the grace and compassion he showed myself and many like me will never be discarded and my only hope now is that the message is continued for generations to come. A true keeper of the faith. Bo was kind to me. He took time to converse, to give me advice, and traded stupid jokes about protein floats. I don’t know that I’d be willing to assume a place as a “friend” of his in the rawest sense of the word, but I can tell you with the utmost certainty that he was a friend to me. Either way, I couldn’t tell you exactly why this feels like I lost a great long-time friend, but if I had to guess, I’d say it has something to do with the intimacy of this community that he helped be a cornerstone of. He was one of us. He’ll always be one of us. I hope we can all find our peace with our two feet walking this earth one day, lord knows it ain’t easy. Bo Lueders forever.

Been a minute since I’ve been in the house of the holy. It was super cool to see KD in action for the first time ever. Turns out he’s really good at basketball.
