This is a story about our friend Isaac Ike Russell the reason we are gathered here today.
When we heard the news that Ike was missing we all got scared.

Our bandmate
He was a lover and a Father

We all banded together to go help find him . We shared pictures and posted signs all over town because
Ike was our friend Our bandmate that we love and a good father

We began to share our Ike stories..true stories, sometimes South Minneapolis rumors, He made us laugh He made us cry... and sometimes he'd make ya mad but they were all stories of Ike..His story Her story Our stories Ike stories
Guess its the tragedy and beauty of being human that sometimes we just take a person's presence in our lives for granted and think somehow they'll always be among us till they're gone

Now we all miss him
But Ike never really goes away.. Spirits and Stories move from I past to I present and on into I future
