Justin Rollins aka J-roll and "Roll the Stampede" was one of the closest friends I've had for over 20 years. Justin was like a brother to me and I'll never forget the day I met him at a comic book convention. I never would have guessed that he would introduce me to another convention, A-kon, and guide me into the world of AMV's.
I still can't believe that J-roll is gone. Maybe because he left so many things for us to enjoy. Memories, pictures, and even including himself and SFS in his most recent AMVS.
For those of you who knew Roll, he was the same guy to everyone. Loving, fun and dependable. He put as much time into his hobby of video making as he did in everything in life. He did everything to the fullest and with all his heart. Thanks for all the kind words and you better believe I plan on a tribute video to Roll's memory.
I would love to hear your memories of Roll and if you have any pics of hanging out with him, please email them to me. I'm making a tribute for his memorial which as I write this will be on Monday, about 5 days away. Send them to

R.I.P. Roll the Stampede, J-Roll, Justin Rollins. I love you man. You're not gone. You just went ahead. We still have that MJ video to finish.
