Devastated!

Gord Downie dies at age 53

We knew it was going to happen, but it still came as a shock this morning tuning in to ROCK 95 to hear the news of Gord Downie’s passing last night with his family close by.

Gord leaves behind an amazing musical and humanitarian legacy, and his vision of the Gord Downie-Chaney Wenjack Fund will continue to have his spirit with us for years.  He Who Walks With the Stars will be remembered fondly by a generation of lives he has touched and will continue to touch beyond today.

Rest in Peace Gord and thank you for everything that you left us.
