bassaddik Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 hello everyone. It is with great sadness that I humbly request everyone's prayers for the family of a fallen bass brother. His name was Raymond W. Herrera and he was a young, sweet and vibrant young man that played in the worship band at a church I attend. I met him briefly and he touched my heart with his passion for God and his love for bass. He was killed in a car accident and was put to rest today. He was 23, Raymond put a smile on my face when i met him. Now he rejoices in God's glory. But his family needs prayer for strength in this very sad time for them. I know firsthand the bass community is a very compassionate one and I thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers. God bless you all, Adrian Praise ye the LORD. ....praise him with stringed instruments and organs... Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. excerpt from- Psalm 150 visit me at: www.adriangarcia.net for His glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottomgottem Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Much, much too young. My prayers are with his family. My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front. If I play Tchaikovsky, I play his melodies and skip his spiritual struggle. ~Liberace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrush Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 God must really love Raymond to call him home at such a young age. I'm sure there is a plan behind it all. My thoughts go out to his family and prayers have already been sent. Visit my band's new web site. www.themojoroots.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Brown Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 What a bitter pill. Adrian, please buy a copy of the CS Lewis book, "A Grief Observed" and give it to the family. From John Donne: "All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." Yep. I'm the other voice in the head of davebrownbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcadmus Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 How terribly sad. My thoughts and prayers for his family and friends. It makes one pause and appreciate how precious and fleeting life can be -- no one gets up in the morning and says "I think I'll get in a fatal car wreck today."

Danzilla Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Prayers will be offered for him and his family, Adrian. Hopefully they still have the strenght of the church community to lean upon for support. Be glad you had the chance to know him!

bassaddik Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thank you guys. I know he is with the Lord . In tribute to Ray and in praise of God, I have offered to fill in on bass. Playing for the Lord is the most rewarding experience and it's the least I can do to give thanks for the love and the blessings I have received from Him. As long as He maintains me here, i will worship with all my heart. I am so glad Raymond knew Jesus, many are not prepared at such a young age. If someone would have bet me a million that I would outlive such a strong, young and vibrant man, i would have laughed. Like jlrush said, God must have really loved him to call him home at such a young age. Praise ye the LORD. ....praise him with stringed instruments and organs...
