ShawnPorter Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I've known Josh Burdette (aka THAT GUY, WALL OF BEARD and OBMF) for almost 20 years. He passed away this week. It's been a rough year; after my friend Shannon of BME died a few months ago Josh joked that we should take a break from our friends dying for a while. Strange how it all works out. For those of you who knew Josh- pretty much anyone who's seen a show at the 9:30 Club since 1997 has surely seen him... The services will be held as follows: Visitation with Family: Friday September 6th 2013 3:00-5:00pm and 6:30-8:30pm Memorial Service: Saturday September 7th 2013 2:00pm St. Paul's United Methodist Church 10401 Armory Avenue Kensington Maryland 20895 The family is finalizing details on where contributions can be made in lieu of flowers.

CultExciter Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I will definitely miss seeing Josh at 9:30 Club. I never knew him on a personal level, but he was a fixture there, and I always made a point to say hello to him.

ShawnPorter Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Josh's body was covered with dragon tattoos, all of which had their eyes unfinished. it was one of his wishes for them to be finished after he passed. A tattooer was allowed access to his body to finish them. I'm beyond touched. irezumi and gougetheeyes 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4179-that-guy-at-the-930-club/#findComment-74075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
