" 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."
RIP

wow... that sucks. I love the Descendents.
I was shocked to see Steve Egerton on the PBS special about healthcare and how he has no insurance!

one of my friends just noticed that it says 2008 in that post. Is it from last year or is it a typo?

looks like it was last year....
rank Navetta (March 6, 1962–October 31, 2008) was a guitarist for the Southern California punk rock band Descendents. He was part of the band's
original lineup and played with the band for six years.[1] He formed the Descendents with Tony Lombardo and Bill Stevenson in 1979
