Hello Friends,

TooStonedToType, also known as Lee Bowden in the "real" world, is dead. During a welfare check, a friend found him lying in bed. Cause of death is currently unknown. I will provide information as I receive it.

Lee was my best friend. I met Lee on this board years ago and we finally met in person when I brought him his first Salvia divinorum cutting. Lee became an integral part of the Denver-area scene when he began hosting Yegge Fest at his house several years ago. Musicians and friends from all over Colorado and beyond came together for his peaceful gatherings. I met so many people and new friends through Lee. Lee could smile and laugh through anything. This world has lost one of the best.

Some of us got together last night for a little remembering time. We are considering a larger, public gathering at a location in Denver TBA. I will provide details here if/when this happens. I'm sorry to be the bearer of this news. This board was a huge part of Lee's life, as Lee was a huge part of our lives.

I hope dearly to see you again on the other side, Lee!

I only got to meet him once, but he was one of the kindest, soft-hearted people I ever had the pleasure to meet. He was a sincerely nice guy, and the world is worse off for the loss of him.

i have no doubt that his energy will be reabsorbed by the universe and reconstituted in the form of another equally wonderful being.

With Love,

V~

rest in peace Lee.

Is there a place to send flowers, donations or even just a message?

[cenacle]

I add my words of condolence. I wish I could offer more by way of comfort. Remember him with your best heart, and celebrate this memory true.

That's really too bad. TSTT was one of the old timers here. Does anyone know the cause of death? It seems likely that if it was someone else, no one would have known. There may be a few we haven't heard from in a while who have passed beyond.

R.I.P.

I just saw this thread pasted as a topic in the chatroom and am sitting here at my desk shocked, unable to think.

Thank you for posting this TM, I am so sorry you have lost a friend and I am so sad Lee has left us.

Man, that's sad, TSTT was always a stand up fella, very positive vibe and great to talk with.  Miss ya fella',  keep the gates open for some of us who are slower to move along.

I'm really sorry to hear that. My sympathies to you and everyone in his life. He was a great contributor to SPF.

You will be missed TSTT
