Childhood memories of Malcolm McCormick
The music industry and, indeed, fans across the world were rocked by the death of Mac Miller on Sept. 7. At the young age of 26, Mac Miller managed to achieve stardom and influence most people only dream about. His fans have credited him with being a source of great inspiration, and his friends remind us of the joyful and charismatic person that he was at heart.

For fans, seeing Mac so confident was refreshing after a tumultuous year involving his split from Ariana Grande, a DUI not long after, and the ever present mental health issues and drug addiction Miller so fancifully danced with in past years.
One month past the NPR concert, Miller died from an apparent overdose on Sept. 7. He was 26, little over a month removed from his 5th album release, one day away from starting the album’s subsequent tour.
Upon hearing the news from a co-worker, I could not help but take a few minutes outside. The emotion was not of sadness, rather an upset confusion on many levels. How could someone so young be gone? Someone who offered so much and took little, a figure of solitude and escape for many including myself.
As much as I tried to be
