Tim felt it. I felt it. And we realized our only way out would be together. In an openhearted memoir of faith on the fringe, Roger Thompson meditates on the life and premature death of his best friend and business partner, Tim Garrety, cofounder of Skate Street Ventura. Roger and Tim's twenty-year friendship was forged in the surf and on the streets of 1980s California. Together they hazarded countless waves and every rite of passage -- from guitars to girls to God -- and influenced the lives of thousands of skateboarders, musicians, surfers, and otherwise disconnected youth in the process. With unrestrained honesty and a punk-rock soundtrack, My Best Friend's Funeral is a memoir of friendship, doubt, surfing, and the complex relationships between fathers and sons. If life has ever left you feeling abandoned -- or if you simply prefer a rock show to a sermon -- My Best Friend's Funeral is a memoir you won't want to miss, and a confirmation that you are never alone. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Garrety, Tim,|d1972-2005. 600 10 Thompson, Roger W.,|d1972- 600 10 Thompson, Roger W.,|d1972-|xChildhood and youth. 650 0 Best friends|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Boys|zCalifornia|zVentura|xSocial life and customs|y20th century. 650 0 Businessmen|zCalifornia|vBiography. 650 0 Fathers and sons|zUnited States. 650 0 Friends|zUnited States|xDeath. 650 0 Male friendship|zUnited States. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.|2bisacsh 651 0 Ventura (Calif.)|vBiography. 655 0 Electronic ebooks. 710 2 Freading. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aThompson, Roger W., 1972-|tMy best friend's funeral.|dNashville : Thomas Nelson, 2014. |z9781400206131|w(DLC)2014014959 856 40 |3Freading|uhttps://ocls.freading.com/ebooks/details/r: download/OTc4MTQwMDIwNjE0OA==|zDownload this title to your computer or mobile device using Freading!
