Remembering Jax Part 28: Still Remembering Jax One Year Later
Today November 4th, 2009 marks the one year anniversary (bittersweet anniversary) of the passing of my big brother / homie / comrad / and fellow artist Christopher “Jax” Thurston who represented the Binkis Records Crew.
(Artwork from the Jax Matic project Jax was working on. Jax flipped Nas’ classic Illmatic paying homage to his Queens neighborhood of Rochdale Village. Unfortunately the project was never released before his passing. I heard maybe one or two cuts of what he was working on, truly amazing. Nobody I know worked harder than Jax did)
A year ago when he passed, I vowed every so often to keep his memory going thru this Blog with the “Remembering Jax” posts. As you can see in a year, were up too #28. If you missed the other ones click here “Remembering Jax” to play catch up.
Soooo I was typing this message on my Facebook page, but it was too long, so I want to share it here, check it:
Today November 4th marks the one year anniversary of the passing of the big homie Jax (Binkis Recs). Today my thoughts are with his family his Moms and Pops, his big brother Cruen, his wife Lisa, nieces, the Binkis Fam, and everybody else who knew the homie, or even the folks who didn’t know him and loved his music. Today I’m not as sad as I thought I would be, but rather thankful to have been able to meet and know such great people. I knew Jax for 9 years. And out of those 9 years we NEVER once argued. He might be the only person I can say that about. I say all that to say, lets keep the homie Jax alive. Play his music LOUD as you can today. Rock your favorite Binkis T-Shirt, lets always let him know he may be gone in the physical, but his spirit is still right here with us.
We love and miss you homie. Keep smiling down on us, lead us in the right direction.
Peace.
