Items related to My Best Friend's Funeral: A Memoir
There’s a certain kind of lost a boy feels in this world without a father. Tim felt it. I felt it. And we realized our only way out would be together.
In an openhearted memoir of faith on the fringe, Roger Thompson meditates on the life and premature death of his best friend and business partner, Tim Garrety, cofounder of Skate Street Ventura.
Roger and Tim’s twenty-year friendship was forged in the surf and on the streets of 1980s California. Together they hazarded countless waves and every rite of passage—from guitars to girls to God—and influenced the lives of thousands of skateboarders, musicians, surfers, and otherwise disconnected youth in the process.
With unrestrained honesty and a punk-rock soundtrack, My Best Friend’s Funeral is a memoir of friendship, doubt, surfing, and the complex relationships between fathers and sons. If life has ever left you feeling abandoned—or if you simply prefer a rock show to a sermon—My Best Friend’s Funeral is a memoir you won’t want to miss, and a confirmation that you are never alone.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Written in a warm, inspiring tone with a wry sense of humor. A fascinating look into the subculture of skateboarding and surfing. A funny, sometimes poignant, heart-warming story that encourages readers to reflect on what matters most in their own lives.In My Best Friend's Funeral, Roger Thompson tells about the life and premature death of his best friend and business partner, Tim Garrety, cofounder of Skate Street Ventura.Roger and Tim met in junior high in the 1980s. During their two-decade friendship, Roger and Tim went through every rite of passage together-and touched the lives of thousands of young skateboarders, rock musicians, and otherwise contrary young people in the process.With unrestrained honesty and a punk-rock soundtrack, from guitars to girls to God, this book is a peer-to-peer avowal of doubt, mourning, and regeneration from a figurehead of the alternative tribe.My Best Friend's Funeral is destined to go down as a classic document of faith on the fringe. For any Christian-of any age-who feels more comfortable at a rock show than at a church, this book will be an inspiring read. With honesty and a punk-rock soundtrack, My Best Friend's Funeral is a memoir of friendship, doubt, surfing, and the complex relationships between fathers and sons. If life has ever left you feeling abandoned---or if you simply prefer a rock show to a sermon---this is a memoir you won't want to miss, and a confirmation that you are never alone.
