"We are regretful to say that after nearly a year and a half of battling cancer, our brother and bass player Ben Marlin has passed away just about the stroke of 5am this January 2nd, 2008. We are going to miss him so much and may he live on in all our hearts forever. Ben, thank you for all your years of friendship and brutality."

Very sad, he was a great bassist, and a very chill person so I've heard.

Didnt know the man, but God Bless His Soul.

It's always sad losing another bass brother. Rest In Peace, Mr. Marlin.

I'll say a few prayers as well for the man and his friends and family. I truly offer
my condolences.
