Denver looses awesome tattoo artist at age 32

I lost a cool and kind next-door neighbor, his partner lost her true love, his daughter lost her father, and Denver lost a great tattoo artist.
He died on March 4th of an apparent heart attack.
He was one year younger than me.
Lee "ball" Maxey Jr. Peace be with you.

Is it "better to burn out, than to fade away"?
Maybe not when you have a beautiful little girl.

 

Sorry to hear that dude, the good ones always die young.

 

Here are a few of his tattoos...

 

That second tat is pretty sick.

Hope his next life is a good one.

 

Wow he was really good. At the least his memories live on through the tattoos he did.

 

heart attack at 32?? was he a meth head??

 

No

 

bummer. i'm sorry, grim.

 

Thanks y'all,
Its really the girlfriend, and Daughter who are suffering the most. We (their friends and family) are trying to give them lots of love and support. Actually it seems that half the city came to his funeral, and the "widow" is overwhelmed with support. Its awesome!
