KEVIN DUBROW's Fiancée: 'His Memory Will Live On With Me Close To My Heart'

QUIET RIOT singer Kevin Dubrow fiancée Lori Lee Samson has released the following statement regarding the vocalist's passing at the end of November at the age of 52:

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt sorrow and loss of my dear friend and companion, Kevin Dubrow, who passed away suddenly this past week.

"I would like to share with all of you, who are also feeling this great loss, a few memories that I will forever cherish. Our relationship was a beautiful and very special one, who no one can ever replace or belittle. Our feelings were genuine, filled with love, respect and admiration for one another. Our last weeks together were filled with laughter, happiness and intimate moments.

"Celebrating his birthday in New Orleans, enjoying a wonderful meal at K-Paul's Louisana Kitchen, which I will never forget the mean snapping turtle soup.

"Then we continued our celebration in Vegas at the Palms where there was the incident with the lobster. He had everyone laughing with his great sense of humor.

"Our second year anniversary was one of many romantic evenings that we shared together. His love for food and fine dining was a passion we shared.

"It hurts to think he will not be at my door picking me up to sweep me away to yet another adventure. It saddens my heart to know he will never be there for me when I feel sad to make me laugh. It brings me to tears that we can not share our lives together anymore, but our love will never die. His memory will live on with me close to my heart.

"I share with all of you the sorrow you feel with the loss of such a wonderful, charming and loving man and talented musician. He will be greatly missed and my heart reaches out to those who will also miss him and his smile."

Showing self-assurance and a clear vision of personal goals from an early age, Lori started working in many top salons/spas in Los Angeles as a manicurist determined to learn everything about the beauty business. After moving to Las Vegas, she opened each major beauty spa/salon (MGM, the Amp Salon at the Palms Hotel & Casino, Christophe at the MGM Resort and finally at the Five Diamond and Star rated Wynn Las Vegas).
