Jordan Terris - Rest in peace, brother.

[weckl-x]

Damn, life is indeed unpredictable, one of the kids on the Pearl Drummers Forum passed away last week, I just saw the thread.
I'm a little in shock, seeing as I just chatted with him just a couple of days before he left.

Let's live our lives to the fullest guys, let there be no regrets.

Jordan Terris passed away peacefully on 3rd March 2007 aged 15. He began playing drums at the age of 11, his mother, Fiona and his step-father Kevin, a keen drummer himself, encouraged and supported Jordan with his new found enthusiasm and his skill, understanding and passion for the instrument was in no doubt to all those who saw him perform.

Kevin and Jordan were keen users of both the mikedolbear.com and the Pearl Forums.

During his short life Jordan made his unique mark on the drumming community, through his playing and his sheer determination to meet people and play drums.

Jordan refused to let failing health diminish his passion and such was his selfless bravery, few of his many online drumming friends knew of his condition.

He performed at the last of his Drumcrew shows on 6th February 2007 and will be missed by many.

As Jordans parents we would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to chat to him on the forum. We can see from the comments that Jordan had a lot of friends on here and it has meant so much to us to know that you were all there even though you didn't know of his personal circumstances you will never know how much just chatting to you all over the last year helped him keep some kind of normality in his life, and now all your comments are helping us. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts Fiona(mum) and kev(dad).
