I'm 24, listen predominately to metal, alternative and heavy music but, I LOVE Stan. You can't deny pure raw talent and passion. He'll live as an inspiration to Canadians, Maritimes and music lovers everywhere. He's a true legend and, in my opinion, the greatest Canadian musician of all time.

The fire on the plane that killed Rogers was by far the largest blow to ever hit the musical world.

[Dean Rogers]

Uncle Stan would have loved this video...

He died while putting out a fire in that thing that connects the plane to the airport-it caught fire and stan tried to put it out.

[Dan Frechette]

GENIUS.

[G. Hochheimer]

For those who don't already know, although Stan is gone, he lives on in his brother Garnet, and son Nathan, who both share their gifts with us as entertainers, and who each is a special talent in his own right. Also, every July, folk/blues/country/bluegrass musicians from many countries gather in Canso Nova Scotia to celebrate his music, and music in general. It's called Stanfest.

He died in a plane crash.
