Jeff Healey died last night at the age of 41. For any of you out there who met him, or just heard him play, you will know that Jeff was a very special individual. I never heard Jeff complain about what life had given him. Even though he was diagnosed with cancer at 1 and was robbed of his eyesight at the same time, instead of dwelling on the negative, Jeff was always looking at the gifts he was given as opposed to the ones which were taken from him. His philosophy was that he never knew what he was missing.
Throughout his life he battled cancer and there was no reason to think he wasn't going to win his latest battle just like all the others. Hell, he managed to survive being in Roadhouse, so this should have been nothing. He is survived by his wonderful wife Christie and their two kids.
