Daniel Grayling Fogelberg August 13, 1951 ~ December 16, 2007 Ever OnEver On is dedicated to Dan Fogelberg and his artistry in song... ...a place to meet and talk of our love of the music, of the lyrics, of the way his hands seem to effortlessly and delicately become one with the instrument and of his voice... ...that of a herald angel. Dan Fogelberg creates a sound that takes you to your beginnings and beyond, takes you to a place of timelessness, mystery and wonderment... ...a place where dreams become reality if only for the span of that particular song... ...but... ...those few moments are a gift from beyond our memories... ...and once again we are in the heavens... ...if only for the moment.
No other singer/songwriter in
the world

Dear friends,
Dan left us
Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 6:00 a.m. He fought a brave
battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with
his wife Jean at his side. His strength, dignity, and grace
in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were
an inspiration to all who knew him.
From
DanFogelberg.com
I'm
so grateful to all of you who wrote to Dan through The
Living Legacy website with your stories of how his music
touched your lives; with your uplifting words of
encouragement; with your declarations of admiration and
friendship.
Dan was a strong and private man, but even the mountain must
tremble, and during the toughest times he gained solace and
comfort from reading your letters and learning that his
music had been a source of light in your lives. Greatest of
all though, was the feeling you gave him that his time here
had served a purpose.
I hope you will find some peace in knowing that the joy and
comfort you found in his music winged it's way back to him
through your words, prayers, and good wishes.
Thank you,
Jean Fogelberg

A Valentine Song
In February of 2005, Dan went to Colorado for a few
weeks to supervise some ranch business and to do some
work in the studio. I stayed in Maine to oversee the
final construction phase of our Maine house. It was
hard for us to be so far apart for so long, especially
since we would miss Valentine's Day together.
Thanks for all of your support, encouragement, and
condolences. Jean

My heart is filled with an emptiness at the passing of Dan Fogelberg. I still have not completely let this sad news take hold of me. I've been holding off on facing this new reality... ...that the strings of his guitar and the keys of his piano will no longer have their dear friend. My prayers are that God will help comfort Dan's family in this time of sorrow. You will be missed Dan! Thank you for sharing your life with us in song. The Earth is a better place because of the gifts you shared. As I write this, the tears start washing through me for the first time since I read the message left by my daughter telling me that you had left us.
May the trail
rise up to meet you
May your heart rejoice in song
May the skies be fair above you
As you journey ever on, ever on, ever on...

I would like to
express my deepest sympathies to Jean, Dan's family, and
fans. I've been a fan from the start. I also played the
Red Herring in Champaigne/Urbana several years after Dan,
and tried to emulate him in my performances. Dan wrote
the soundtrack for my life. The world is a poorer place
for his loss, but he has left a living legacy in his
music, poetry, and art. We will always have to wonder,
what would have been, had Dan stayed a little longer.

All I have done today is listen to his music, look at everything on the websites.
Saved so many things I found.

Brett;
Your site Is excellent.
I only wish I had discovered it
sometime before today, after learning about Dan's
death as I've been trying to make sense and accept
it. I thought he was recovering and would return be
recording or possibly touring in the future. I had
no clue that Dan was near death.
From the first time I heard, "Part
of the Plan" on December 24, 1974 when I was a 12
year-old boy, Dan's music has profoundly touch me.
His music has provided joy and experiences for
learning about life through his lyrics. I only wish
I could have told him how much I have appreciated
him.
Add My Favorite Verse I have four....
"Balance the cost of the soul you lost with the dreams you lightly sold. Are you under the power of gold?" -The Power of Gold
"Oho, if I had you beside me, then I just might sleep through the night. Your love is the promise that guides me, all of the days of my life." -Missing You
"Nothing before you; nothing behind; thoughtlessly chasing the thunder. Travelling lightly; travelling blind; never detouring to wonder why." -Times Like These
"Like a phoenix; I have risen from the flames. No more living; Someone else's dreams." -Phoenix

I love
all of you and wish all of you my sincerest sympathy and
Love. I don't know about all of you but I am here grieving
alone! My boy friend is supportive but not a Dan Fan
really. I know that we are all grieving and I just wanted
like Rox to reach out and say that I am here!
I just wish we could have seen Dan just one more time. I
am so glad they posted a picture of him on his web site.
He looked a bit weary, and thinner, but reminiscent of his
Souvenirs Album cover. I will sorely miss him especially
his concerts, but I hope we can keep the EVERON site going
and his memory alike for future generations. Like Yoko Ono
I hope Jean will keep his memory alive with his music and
his ART.
I know that Dan is with us in spirit! I received in the
mail Monday night when I got home from work a box of Dan's
Chocolates from my friends in Vermont. The way Dan signed
his name inside the pamphlet, looked just like Dan
Fogelberg's signature it was hauntingly and wonderfully
surprising I had to smile and laugh and think " I know
that he is with me in spirit" I love it when things like
that happen, and I love all of you.
August 13th and Dec 16th are 2 days I am sure we will
never forget for the rest of our lives.
Try to have a Merry Christmas EVERYONE and Have a very
blessed and Happy 2008!

I was wondering if you could guide me
to some info regarding his 1999 solo tour. My husband and
I saw him at the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis and can't
remember what date it was, I just know he was solo. We
will miss Dan so much that I can't even express myself. I
would like to have the date just for sentimental reasons.
I tried clicking on the highlighted 1999 tour, but nothing
came up.
My husband and I have loved his music since his very first
song. My husband, Gary and I had dated for a short while
when we were in high school and then went our separate
ways. After graduating in 1974 we didn't see each other
again until 1982 when we ran into each other at a grocery
store. When we saw each other, I dropped my purse and the
beer I was buying. We connected again because of that
night and have been together ever since. Same Old Lang
Syne is OUR song.
What a wonderful, kind-hearted man! May his light shine
one forever.
Thanks for any information you might be able to provide.
Sincerely,

Brett,
Your web site was great before and I can't explain how
much better it is since
Dan's passing. Very impressive and very well done by you.
As I listen to Dan's great music I reflect on so many
wonderful memories of my life while
growing up....facing challenges, meeting new people,
experiencing the joy that life affords us....
Some of Dan's very memorable lyrics to me were from the
Netherlands CD and Lessons Learned track:
Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain....are
the spoils worth the cost of the hunt....?
Ah,,,,so many great songs and music to forever enjoy with
his music and your great website.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your
efforts with your Ever On website to Dan.
Best,
Phil Carpenter
Brett,
This the first time I saw Dan, and probably saw just about
every show in this area over the last 30 years or so. I
can't explain the loss I feel, knowing I'll won't see him
again. He truly was a gift to all of us.
