NO ONE has details on how he died. I've literally heard/read at least 10 stories on this but no one mentions the details of his death, you're the first people I've heard even mention you don't know.

Pretty much a shock to the system. He was directly responsible for helping, if not making, Austin's music industry what it is today. I owe him a lot.

Rest in peace buddy.
