POCO always lifted me up. Living in San Diego County all my life I saw them sometimes twice a month..I saw them countless times. Rusty passing closes the book on a 53 band history. Rusty's pasing breaks my heat....the Legeond will always be alive with their music.

So sorry to hear of Rusty's passing. A few years back, my wife and I saw Poco at a small high school theater. I was able to sit in the front row so I could watch Rusty play the Steel up close, which was an unforgettable experience. I will always remember the joy he showed playing his music. I was fortunate to meet him after the show. He was a genuine soul, and I could tell he really wanted to connect with everyone he met. After a few minutes, he signed a CD for me, and reached out to shake my hand. He will be greatly missed....but will live on in my memories of that show...."Where Did The Time Go"...

Lamento oír esta triste noticia,Rusty, siempre grande no te olvidaremos

I already wrote my condolences, but wanted to add this. I once said to Rusty, “Why would you play Pickin Up the Pieces” while I was in the bathroom?” He said, “We always play “Pickin Up the Pieces” when you’re in the bathroom!” Hahaha. So funny, friendly, and sweet. And, Mary once sold me her own Poco Coozie because they were sold out. Have enjoyed many Poco shows, including the On The Blues Cruise before this wretched virus took over the world. Was looking forward to many more, but thanks so much for the music and also for being such a great guy!

So sorry to hear of Rusty's passing. POCO was always one of my favorite bands. Fan since the beginning. Got to see them twice live, once in the 70's, once in the 90's. Great band. Rusty, God speed man, we'll miss you!

So sorry to hear the sad news. Have been one of your biggest fans fir decades. Met with band on three occasions. RIP Rusty, you will be sadly missed.

This really hurts...but though a cliche, we will always have the music....RIP

I got to meet Rusty briefly a couple times. Nothing but nice and generous. Sorry to hear of his passing. His music has brought me so much happiness over the years. Our family will be celebrating his life through his music. Care and love to all.

Heartbreaking...the loss of one of the very best in the music industry.
RIP...Rusty Young

My condolences to the entire POCO and Young families. God Bless you all -
To Rusty's family - thank you for sharing him with all of us for all these years. May your memories bring you everlasting joy.
To Poco - thank you for keeping the music alive.
RIP Rusty. You will be missed.
God Bless.
