I and many, many other people will never forget you Killian.
July 9th, 1993 - August 20th, 2009

Sadly, my friend Killian Mansfield passed away last Thursday, August 20th, 2009. The cancer just was too much, even for someone as strong as Killian. He was truly an amazing person and inspired so many. He was only 16. It is another constant reminder in this world to appreciate & be thankful for what you have in life (friends, family, health) as well as to make the most of your life. To try new things, make memories, and keep a positive attitude.
I and many, many other people will never forget you Killian. July 9th, 1993 - August 20th, 2009 A little over a month ago, I did a small post on my friend Killian.
Anyway his album, titled Somewhere Else, just actually released a couple of days ago and was at one point as high as #27 on Amazon's Top 100 Bestselling Music List. To read the story behind Killian, you can read the following article: http://www.ulsterpublishing.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=article&articleID=493185 If you wish to show your support, you can purchase a copy of the album on Amazon. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Somewhere-Else-Killian-Mansfield/dp/B002AMUJGQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1250564623&sr=8-1 Today is a special day. It is the birthday of one of my friends, Killian Mansfield. When we were young we met through both camp and school. We were close friends. However, they moved upstate a few years ago and I haven't been able to see him as much. When I do get a chance though, it is always great. He is a true soldier and has gone through more than anybody I know and more than anybody should. Yet through all this, he copes with it. He lives his life. On top of that, he is an amazing musician. He has an album releasing soon. He is an artist in more than just music though, as he draws some cartoon characters as well. Here is his classic one, Grumpy Fish. *(Click the image to view it larger)*
Anyway, I will conclude by once again wishing Killian a HAPPY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY! Your Friend, Jack |
