13 Years On @ the Steve Clark In Loving Memory website

I miss you, Steve... we all do.

You are so many things to me, just as you are to so many around the world. I can't imagine life without your wonderful music in it... unfortunately life has to carry on without you here, but as long as I keep you in my heart I know that you're never truly gone. You're always around in the legacy you left us - your incredible music. All those years ago I never would have thought it possible that you wouldn't be here today in 2004, but that is what we all have had to come to terms with over the last 13 years. I used to look forward to the day I'd finally get to see you in concert... but I - as others, too - never got the chance because you left us so soon.
I know that I am not alone in finding January 8th such a difficult day to cope with... but I also know there are people that don't understand that.

Your time here was short but you brought happiness to millions through your gift of music, and you are sorely missed by so many loyal fans, who to this day and beyond will never forget what you have given us. No one could ever match you riffs and style - you were unique, Steve. No one else comes close.

To create emotion as you did with your guitar is the very purpose of music. Always coming up with something new, you were truly gifted. I often wonder just how many people you've inspired to play guitar!
There's not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I wish that you were still here but happy and healthy. I know that you're at peace now, free from all of the pain and heartache you suffered for so long.
You give me inspiration for so many things in life. Knowing how you battled in life, you give me courage when things are difficult. I only wish that just once I'd have been able to meet you, if only for a few seconds but it wasn't to be.


	On days like January 8th it's difficult to remember that there were good times, but good times there were... and hopefully everyone can find some comfort in the fact that your music was your escape; you were free from your pain when you were playing your guitar.
	You were in your element on stage, holding court like no one else on this earth could. Your smile lit up the stage far brighter than any concert lighting... and still brightens up my world.
	I will love and remember you forever, Steve. Rest In Peace, Sweetheart.
