RIP Frank Navetta

Sign in to disble this ad
From a Descendents myspace bulletin:

Frank Navetta, founding member and guitarist for the Descendents, fell ill over the past few days and passed away on October 31, 2008. Besides naming the band, Frank wrote a ton of great songs and was a great friend. He will be truly missed.

We don't have any information about funeral or memorial services at the moment. We'll pass along information for any public services when we find out.

Go give Milo Goes To College or Bonus Fat a spin in Frank's honor.

I love The Descendents. One of the reasons I picked up guitar and bass. RIP.

Ditto as above - Descendents are what made me pick up the bass.

RIP, I shall drink of the bonus cup in your honor.

RIP Frank. The Descendents are such an awesome band. Without them, would pop punk even exist as we know it?

Very very sad. RIP Frank.

BTW, Tony Lombardo and Dave Lomardo aren't related.
