"Are you living a life that matters? "I heard the question again . . . and it sounded like my best friend's voice.
In "My Best Friend's Funeral," Roger Thompson tells about the life and premature death of his best friend and business partner, Tim Garrety, cofounder of Skate Street Ventura.
Roger and Tim met in junior high in the 1980s. During their two-decade friendship, Roger and Tim went through every rite of passage together--and touched the lives of thousands of young skateboarders, rock musicians, and otherwise contrary young people in the process.
With unrestrained honesty and a punk-rock soundtrack, from guitars to girls to God, this book is a peer-to-peer avowal of doubt, mourning, and regeneration from a figurehead of the alternative tribe. "My Best Friend's Funeral" is destined to go down as a classic document of faith on the fringe. For any Christian--of any age--who feels more comfortable at a rock show than at a church, this book will be an inspiring read.
Thompson, Roger W.
