Hey everyone, my apologies if you get a notification for this and think something crazy happened. This is Todds step son Brendan. I finally got some time to sit down and start looking through his post history here and I found my way to this page. It’s so cool seeing all of these people from all over the place sharing their stories about Todd, forum or irl. Believe it or not, he talked about you guys to me every now and then. I’m honestly terrible with remembering names, but I definitely remember some of you. More so, he talked about all of you. About how great it felt to him to be able to help people, even just a little bit. About how one little comment can save someone’s whole day, or gig. When I was younger I would tell him he should go in on YouTube, start a Patreon and start making money. He never wanted to, the feeling of helping people was more than enough for him. That’s one of the big things I‘ve been thinking about lately.
Well, he left me all of his studio equipment and enough guitars to last a lifetime. I’ve been building my own studio over the past 2 years and learning all things music production with the intention of composing, recording, mixing, mastering and distributing my music on my own. So I’ll be lurking on this account, going through his post history and learning everything I can. I just made my own account BrendanMartinezMusic for anybody interested in following along.
That being said, this is the official last post on this account. The family will be okay, in time. We all thank you for the kind words and support from all over the country and the world. I want to leave off with a quote he had written in his phone (don’t worry, he gave me the password and said it’s ok to go through)
