R.I.P. Ariel Hembel




He was always there.
Whether on the sunlit headlands with Mia, mini Mia and the Mendo crew.
Or at the LR airport rousting girls and spinning donuts.
Sparing a cig. Popping a scrim. Giving great hugs.
Lou dog, Grace, Naomi, and Ling. We were all there. 
Maybe it was at a summer fest, smiling quietly, clinking bottles, enjoying a wildly inappropriate joke. Always joyous, laughing, gracious.
Silent and regal. Strong and reserved.
This is the man I will remember. Forever missed.  
He is an embodiment of love. Of joy and living in the moment.
And he is now gone.
Rest in peace dear Mendonesian, you will always be with us in spirit.
