Xmaskatie emailed me a few days ago about someone
I knew of,
but didn't know.
His name was Steve Thomas.
She sent me his obituary.
Here's more, here.
I actually blogged about Steve Da Dream
back on June 30, 2009,
when I encountered him at a local breakfast favorite, Grits Grill.
Check out the comb action on the GritsGrill link.
I had no idea Steve was Pamlico Jack's pirate.
And I had no inkling that Steve had a modeling career,
with the Wilhelmena Agency.
See here.
Such beauty.
Steve was ripped.
Today, the Outer Banks Voice,
had a lovely, poignant article about Steve Thomas.
Please click on the above link and read it.
A "paddle out" was held for Steve.
It's a thing surfers do for their own.
And it's a beautiful thing.
One could cry about this,
but the beauty in all of the ceremony supercedes
any of our self-centered feelings.
If you noticed in the video,
there was no sadness.
Only happiness.
I didn't personally know Mr. Steve Thomas,
but now,
I wish I had.
And I wish I could have been on that beach today
to say goodbye to a man I never knew.
Godspeed, Steve.
