It is with great sorrow we inform you of our friend, brother, and son, Kevin Smithson II.  He was taken in a tragic yet ironically humorous accident incolving a srting bikini, 9 volt battery, spicy cheese whiz, and a dead skunk in the middle of the road.

Kevin was a prolific songwriter on the verge of a major publishing contract.  He was also known throughout the world by the name "rebelkegger88" where he contributed to message boards with compelling literary quality posts.  He will be remembered by millions and millions as the one who opened their eyes to True Texas Music and The Lonestar Way of Life.

His life ended in the way he wanted to.  Earlier in the day, he had stopped with his girlfriend, Ashley St. Standard, where they showered and shaved in a bathroom stall, at a Texaco, on the way to Gruene Hall.  There was a sold out concert for one of his heroes that night.  Unfortunately the never made it, but they'll be together floating the river that never runs to slow, in a place where the Lone Star's always cold, and the party's always awesome.

Stevie Ray, was riding on the wind.
Buddy Holly, he was too.
But when there star comes tumblin to the ground.
Not a thing the king's horses, and all the king's men could do.
Me, I just got this ol' barstool.
And man it's burning me down. (burnin' me down)
Just like a brushfire, that burns all through the night.
One of these days I'm gonna, one of these days I'm gonna burn on out.
