Today, October 29, 2009 we would have celebrated Kevin DuBrow's 54th Birthday. Sadly he is no longer with us in body, but his spirit, memory and musical legacy will not be forgotten.
 
This morning I will make the two hour drive out to visit with my friend of nearly 27 years until his untimely passing. I will give him all of your regards while I sit there and reminisce. After my time today with Kevin, I will go to visit his Mom and pay my respects to her before returning home.
 
I prefer to visit him today to celebrate his birth and his life rather than to do so on the day that he left us.
 
God Bless you Kevin. Until we meet again......
 
Frankie Banali

I woke up this morning and put my cassette of QR III in my stereo then thought it was sad he's not with us anymore, but the more I think about it he's still here and will always be here as long as we keep the music playing! Kevin was truly loved by all his fans, and we will continue to keep his music playing.
  Happy Birthday Kevin

The world is not the same without him. I got accustomed to seeing Quiet Riot on a pretty regular basis whenever you guys were in (or a few hours away from) Pensacola, FL. His passing has helped me to remember to never take anything for granted and that what's here today may be gone tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, Kevin--we miss you. God bless you, Frankie.

It's so hard to lose a friend let alone a best friend. My thoughts are with you today as you think back on all the fun and wonderful times you both had. It's very sweet that you take the time to remember him every year and miss him everyday. I know his Mom must love and appreciate you so much. I met Kevin once. I made him laugh really hard, he grabbed my hand and his eyes were sparkely. I could tell he had a good soul.
Luv you Frankie,
Abbey xoxo

Kev you will be missed by all.  Sorry you had to leave us so soon. Hope you're having a rockin' birthday jam up there. Frankie may you have strength to get through today as you remember all the good times you had with your comrade and best friend of almost 30 years. We the fans will keep you,Kev's mother and all of his loved ones in our prayers today.
