I know, dude. Little more than I thought it would this am. I guess just the connection of past and present that he and his nephews bring to our musical world. Almost like a bridge to a time that I've only heard about from asking my dad about his younger years and taste in music and having my life and taste in music to make the connection. Ramblin a bit, but the point is somewhere in there.

He apparently shot himself in front of his wife while in an argument about finances
LINK
Butch Trucks suffered a gun shot wound to the head and died Tuesday in his waterfront condo in West Palm Beach, Florida at the age of 69
A woman caller who is unidentified on the transcript but described as 'hysterical' dialed 911 at 6:02 p.m.
The dispatcher noted his wife Melinda witnessed Trucks pulling the trigger
Although he was breathing when police arrive, Trucks expired seconds later
Palm Beach County court records show Trucks appeared to be wrestling with financials problems
In 2011, Trucks had to sell his prized home in Palm Beach for $2 million when it was possibly worth twice as much to pay off a $800,000 mortgage
Last year, the IRS filed two liens against the condo to force Trucks to pay additional taxes for 2013 and 2014 for a total of more than $540,000

Yeah, blew his brains out in front of his wife. Not exactly a considerate move IMO.

Damn....took the Hunter S. Thompson route. That really sucks.

Butch's last interview: LINK
Was conducted hours before he died. Sure doesn't sound like somebody about to off himself to me.
Wow. So are we thinking that it was a spousal murder?

I read it. Definitely seems to add up. The investigation findings will be most interesting.

IRS was hounding him it sounds like. Sad all around here, especially for his wife and kid.

He must have had some real shitty financial advice to get that deep into trouble with the IRS

Yeah and if he was in financial trouble seems like someone could've organized some sort of benefit concert to help him out (like Levon Helm). Everybody in the world would have showed up to play that.
