Years ago now I made a list that I'd been thinking about doing for a while. I originally posted it to Failbook (when I used that) and others have helped me to add to it (I'm sure it's, unfortunately, nowhere near completion.)

This is a list I hate to update, but it seems important that it exists and we remember our friends and loved ones who were involved with the local gothic/industrial community; even if they were only a small part of it for a short time. This isn't specific to DGN but rather the local club scene here in the Detroit area; although obviously there is a bit of crossover between the two. I figured I'd post it here because it's more permanent than Failbook, and that people might want to add / correct missing information. I didn't know many of these people and even fewer I actually got to call friend, but they were all a part of the scene and helped to make it what it was. As always, if you can add any information it is appreciated. I try to keep things in chronological order too, so dates help as well. "Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you, and I will endure a lifetime of missing you for the privilege of loving you." - a combination of quotes from C.C. Aurel and someone else.
