Good friend and former band-mate, Jamie Faulkner passed away early this morning. He was a fantastic man; a man of faith; a man of ethics and conviction. I know that he touched many lives and that he will be missed by so many.

Gerry Gustin commented about Jamie on his Facebook account this morning:

at 222 am, Trotwood Police Detective Jamie Faulkner passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. The world has lost another good one! He was a close friend, a band-mate in Knight Blaze, and one of the most kind and gentle men I ever met! He is at peace finally and has earned his great reward!

Praying for a friend

Musician John Hey (@j_hey on Twitter) wrote the song below for our mutual friend Jamie Faulkner. Jamie and I played in the band Knight Blaze together. Recently we discovered that Jamie is battling cancer. He’s had a considerable battle, but continues to show strength and determination. He has a very large family of church members and friends praying for him daily.
