Grandaddy bassist Kevin Garcia has died, the band revealed on Facebook. He was 41. The band said Garcia suffered a “massive stroke” on Monday, which, according to a GoFundMe page set up for his medical costs, doctors described as catastrophic. He died from the effects of the stroke earlier today. “We were all able to say goodbye to him and he was surrounded by his closest friends and family here in Modesto,” the band wrote. “He was an actual angel. He navigated life with a grace, a generosity and a kindness that was utterly unique. And contagious. He is loved so deeply by so many.”
Garcia played on all of Grandaddy’s records. After a 10-year hiatus, Grandaddy returned this year with a new album, Last Place, which also featured Garcia. The band have a tour scheduled through June. The band have asked that people contribute to the GoFundMe to help with Garcia’s family’s coming expenses.
