Frank Navetta, former guitarist and founding member of legendary punk band the Descendents, passed away on Halloween. Here's the statement from the band:"We're very sorry to announce that founding member of The DESCENDENTS, and close friend Frank Navetta passed away on October 31, 2008 after becoming ill over the course of a few days. This is obviously a huge loss for the DESCENDENTS family. His contribution to the band, and to music in general can not be overstated. Frank will be truly missed. We will share information about memorial services when we find out."
I'm assuming memorial services already happened, since the post (from punknews.org) was dated November 2nd.
Any updates will most likely be on the band's website, which can be found here.
Frank wrote and played guitar on the album "Milo Goes To College," as well as on "I Don't Want To Grow Up," and the "Fat" EP. He left the band in 1985 to become a fisherman.
