RIP Jeff Dye

Recently  a very close friend of mine passed away. He was an amazing person that also helped make Sell Out Clothing what it is today. Here is a message from his family:

"We are Jeff's parents. Our daughter, Jeff's sister, introduced us to this tribute. The wall posts and entries have been a source of immeasurable comfort to us as we, too, loved him unconditionally. As you can imagine we are shattered and heartbroken over Jeff's death. He was the sunshine of our lives and we miss him every moment of every tear stained day. For us to have any hope of a normal life, we must keep Jeff 's spirit alive. We want no more children being claimed by suicide and no more devastated, heartbroken parents and siblings.

To that end our family has established the Jeffrey Allen Dye Suicide Prevention Project. It is our goal to fight against suicide for the rest of our lives. We intend to raise funds so that the warning signs of suicide and ways to effectively respond are clear and automatic to everyone. If friends would recognize, listen and respond when suicidal thoughts are conveyed, we could save the lives of those in emotional pain.

There is a link at the above site where you can feel free to donate money to this excellent cause. I myself have been thinking quite a bit about how I could help this amazing project and began designing a shirt that I think would really sum up Jeff's life. This shirt will be on sale shortly and I have decided to contribute not only 50% of the profit from this shirt to The Jeffery Allen Dye Suicide Prevention Project but to also contribute 10% of all other sales over the next year to The Jeffery Allen Dye Suicide Prevention Project as well!
