PHRITE FOREVER - Roy "Phrite" Garcia - REST IN POWER!


TheBob

Recommended Posts

Many people come into our lives. Many people impact the ones they're surrounded by. This guy did that not only on an intimate personal level... but he did it for the whole Graffiti and Street Art community. Roy was our best friend, comrade, borther in arms... the whole fucking nine. If you had the chance to meet him on any level of importance... you graced a true human being. Real to the core and nothing ever got in the way of that.

 

He was killed while defending a friend from a brutal robbery. They took his life... but they have no idea... they made him live forever. He's gone in the physical world but our memories and all those damn panels he painted... reminders. All reminders... that this guy did shit proper.

 

He was a best friend to me, a roomate, a crewmate, everything. I couldn't have asked for better people in my life. Like Ridle said in a text message I got to see today... "Now Heist has a painting partner in heaven." Don't hog all those spots nigga. We'll be there soon. I love you Roy.

The previous picture was of the very first penguin he ever painted. You knew the penguins... you knew Phrite. Keep this thread rolling harder than a freight train with the speed of God. Roy wouldn't have it any other way. This screen name will be utilized by many people to convey their appreciation, love, and sadness concerning this loss.

I lost a true friend and brother to me this weekend. He was taken fom my life as quickly as he came into it. Roy Garcia was shot four times in his hometown of Phoenix AZ. this weekend while defending a friend from a robbery. What can I say about Roy? He was your friend until the end, and stuck up for me even when we both knew I was wrong. Roy was the never the one to start it, but please believe he'd finish it. Roy was one of the most genuine, loving, hard working people I ever knew and I'm so glad he came into my life. If there is a heaven, I know you are there. This was a senseless murder with no provocation, and the people behind this will definetly receive what they deserve. Roy was also a talented artist, who had moved to Cleveland to start a new life and only went back to Arizona to help his Mother. I wish I was hearing that you were on your way home to Cleveland instead of typing this.

Rest in Paradise ROY. I just met this cool ass cat in Cleveland around New Years. Kicking it in a room of strange faces (1st day there) and Phrite broke the ice right away. Great guys they made me and wifey feel like part of the fam only after a few hour of being there. We were both tripping out on the cold ass bad weather. I was clowning with him about the snow since he had just experienced it for the first time etc........ Big lost to the graff world, his friends and crew and to his Mother. See you again soon homie. ONE L(n)VE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
