Matt Rife Took His Late Grandpa Steve's Death Especially Hard

Back in March, Matt Rife debuted a new tattoo on his arm that he got in honor of his grandpa Steve. The new ink, which is a sketch of John Lennon's face, is located just above Matt's elbow and is about the size of a quarter. "John Lennon was my grandpas favorite artist and we decorated his house with his art all the time, so it [felt okay] to get something to remind me of the constant bond between us and the beautiful musical taste he taught me. I Miss you every day papaw," Rife captioned an Instagram post, debuting his new sentimental art.

Indeed, a quick peek at Steve's Instagram feed, which he didn't use too frequently, fans can see a couple of posts about Lennon. In one photo uploaded to Instagram in August 2020, Steve showed off some Lennon wall art. Another Instagram post on the same day showed a canvas that had the lyrics to the song "Imagine" written on it.
