IN LOVING MEMORY OF KYLE MCLEOD, DFEAT ONER FYF

dear dear buds and friends and strangers who are honoring ky--

 

thank you so much for teaching me even more about my sweet big guy.

 

the last time he was home, he showed me the pictures and videos he'd taken of tags, explained as best he could to an old mother about the art and the artists. he showed me snaps of his Venice wall "Fuck A Permit" and "Fear Yr Flag." i loved those big tags.

 

i told him i loved that--even tho he always had an artistic vision, but struggled with the eye-hand thing--he was making his art about words. clever words, political words, true words. my big boy with a bigger heart: a story teller, a reader, a writer, a friend, a son.

 

we share this loss.

 

RIP, kydie.

 

love to you all,

 

cynthia

While kyle and i lived together he taught me a lot about life. He would call me "bud" and joked around while saying that he adopted me as a brother. When I was having problems he would tell me advice about not allowing myself to label myself or others and that I am who I am.

 

He has come to me in dreams 3 times. In the best one I was at a party and everyone had gotten so drunk that they had passed out on the floor. I suddently heard YAGAYO-O-O! and when I turned around it was kyle. We both began chanting it and then all the homies came out of nowhere. I thought kyle was back until I woke up to remember.

 

Rest In Peace

so i just got back from a big reggae festival that kyle was very excited about attending. he came last year and he enjoyed it soo much, we had soo much fun it was ridiculous!!! it was really hard to go and he was in all of the friends and families thoughts...we poured out many drinks for him and did our best to honor him...i made a bunch of these shirts for me and all of my friends to wear...again it was a tough festival to enjoy but i know kyle would have wanted us to see all of these amazing artists...i got so much joy looking round and seeing 5 or 6 of my friends, who all knew kyle, sporting these shirts, and just knowing how much everyone cared for him, and how everyone who was lucky enough to meet him really did understand how great of a person he was...dfeat, we all know youre rocking with tenor saw, and jacob miller... enjoying that sweet

Reggae In Paradise...

Not a day passes that I dont think of you my friend. I live my life in honor of you and am devoted to keeping your memory alive. You will be missed by everyone who knew you and you will NEVER be forgotten. I want to live while I am here but I look forward to the day I cross over to your side and can be reunited with you. Until then Kyle, I pour out some some drink when I imbibe and I think of you when I puff and I shed a tear when I hear that sweet reggae music that you loved so much. Until then homie, until then...

I painted a DFEAT piece on canvas for his mom last night. Me and a couple of friends spent about 7 hours on that shit so far (acrylic). We probably have about 2 or 3 more to go. I will try to get a picture of it and post it later. The whole time we were painting it - smokin' and drinkin' - I wanted DFEAT to be there and paint it with us. His memorial is on Sunday in LA. I hope to see some of you assholes there.

 

See you in Brazil HOMIE.
