Hi Newport Beach family. Can’t wait to have you come out on Saturday and have fun with me and the guys at #lidopeninsularesort . Show starts at 6pm! See you soon! #iykyk #emilewelman
Happy fathers day dad. Whilst you aren’t here to celebrate with me I am remembering all you taught me as I prepare to become a dad myself. You were the best dad I could’ve ever asked for and led with example. Love you.
#emilewelman & #nealmcdonough make crowds roar at #ThePeninsulaLounge in #newportbeach . Thanks for the invite #CharlieWeiglan , #owc & #six14 #epic
I know I’ve been very quiet on social media. There have been different reasons for that but recently I suffered an incredible loss. My cousin, best friend and my best man recently passed! @rorygoldhill was an absolute mountain of a man with a heart of gold. Anyone who was fortunate enough to have met him knows that he would move heaven, mountain and earth to accommodate you and make you feel like an absolute diamond. He had the best sense of humor and always found a way to look at the positive things in every situation no matter how bleak it might seem. He was my brother and my rock. Words can never describe what he meant to me and to so many others and how he was able to influence his community for the better. An absolute LEGEND! Rory, I love you so much my boy! I will continue in your name and make sure your legacy continues for years to come. I couldn’t have asked for a better brother and partner in crime. Your death is so untimely and so unforeseen and I never imagined having to write this message. Life is not fair and losing you is one of the hardest pills ill ever have to swallow. We spoke daily and dreamed about the time you would be able to move here to to the US so we could cause absolute mayhem. Now it’ll stay only a dream but it’s a dream that I’ll keep in my heart and take with me everywhere I go. You touched so many of us with your infectious laugh and attitude. I feel honored to have had a front row seat to your life and witness the greatness that was Rory Goldhill. I love you cuzzy and I’m gonna miss you more than you know. Keep my dad company in heaven until we can all meet again. The only joy I have is knowing I have two incredible angels looking over me and @shaylawelman and baby Jammer now. Ill always treasure you and our relationship. #RIP my boy! Your cuzzy and best friend. Emile
