It sounds like he had a mentor or a teacher who understood his love for music and writing and this teacher encouraged him through tough times and now he is thanking that person for being there and showing confidence in his work.
I agree with you.. prehaps the person is jim cherry, who recently died. he played bass in strung out, then he got kicked out and he and jason hadnt spken to each other in the 4 years before jim died. in an letter jason wrote in response to jim's death he thanks jim for giving him a chance to do what he wanted more than anything (form a band) he also credits jim for helping him become a better song writer. and he's great at that .
