Frank Navetta R.I.P.

Founding Descendents guitarist Frank Navetta died on Halloween. I never got the chance see him live, but his songs have left a lasting impression on my youth and musical tastes. Frank left the band to become a fisherman and was eventually replaced by Stephen Egerton who still plays in ALL. Here’s a small obit from the Descendent’s Web site.

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.
