Two Shirts. Two Roads. One Legacy.

Two Shirts. Two Roads. One Legacy.

George & Jeff Capps — Dead Idols Archive

Not every legacy is loud. Some ride in quiet. Some wear flannel. Some lean on each other like this.

This is George and Jeff Capps — my uncle and my cousin. Two men who helped shape who I am without ever needing to say much. One taught me how to stand strong and stay sober. The other showed me what it means to live free, rough edges and all. Both of them lived real. The kind of real that doesn’t chase applause. The kind that sticks around in your bones.

George was a Navy vet. A tree man. A Harley rider who found peace in simple things: yard work, family, and doing what needed to be done. He gave me an example of what it looked like to choose a different path — to leave alcohol behind and walk forward with purpose.

Jeff was desert-bred grit. Raised in Phoenix, lived like a rolling stone with a pack of good friends and a love for Harleys and raw honesty. He didn’t follow the rules. He lived with his foot on the gas, and in doing so, he taught me something about freedom that I’ve carried into every part of this life.

This photo of the two of them is my favorite. It says more than a thousand stories could. It reminds me that Dead Idols isn’t just about history — it’s about the marks people leave when they think no one’s watching.

They didn’t live for legacy. But they left one anyway.

And I’ll carry it with me — inked into everything I do.

For those who left their mark.
