There was nothing more important in my day than being the Tech person for Brent Carver’s memorial. I was honoured to be there and moved by the entire experience. it truly is remarkable that the family put together a perfect balance of adulation and good old family connection and humility. The entire thing leaves one wishing he were your brother or best friend. Life goals right there. To be a star, have won a Tony, to be given tribute by ‘eastern friends’ and still have your auntie get up and tell a story about the slaughter house and fishing. To be so ethereal and so human in one soul must have been a burden and a gift. He has left a legacy of art and love. Rest in sweet peace.
My favourite moment was when I was trying to set up the crossfades and his niece said not to use the fill as ‘he was a spotlight kind of a guy’. I will always think of that now.
The day did end with a gift from Emmy and her daycare lady Diana who is a delightful friend that knows me well
