Every time someone young dies, I ponder my own mortality; and it scares the shit out of me. People, please stop dying young.

This dude was also an engineer at the Blasting Room and worked on records from Rise Against, A WIlhelm Scream, Propagandhi, etc. -- we probably all own a CD this guy's worked on.

My condolences.

Johnny was a great kid, with a very promising future. This is horrible. My condolences to his family.. Way too young..

What a horrible thing for his friends and family to endure. Much, much too young. My condolences.

I'm sorry to hear this.

Too young. RIP

I can’t believe the news it is so sad. Last year I saw them live at the Big Gig in Colorado, they played on the main stage because they won a local radio contest. Once I heard the song Typical I knew these guys were going to be big. It is just a real bittersweet world, probably one of the happiest days of the bands life was today with the release and they find their bassist dead. My condolences go out to all of the family and friends.

Too fucking young.....

weffjebster (July 2, 2008)

Oh man... This is awful, especially as a 21 year old. I just can't picture dying next year, or what I would do if any of my friends were to die at 22...

crackpotdemagogue (July 2, 2008)

man, that's awful. so sad

Guy_Incognito (July 2, 2008)

Very sad to hear.

So what exactly happened anyway?

man. i was a freshman in college when this dude was still in middle school. that's sad. RIP.

Always a shame when a young person dies. Makes me realize how fleeting time is.

johnrambo (July 2, 2008)

Johnny was an awesome dude. Honestly as good as they come.

He helped out with our record when we were at the blasting room, and actually did a lot of the grunt work editing that helped make our record sound good in the end. He also did the same for some of the biggest names in this genre, so like scott said there's a pretty good chance you have listened to the projects he has worked on.

Still can't believe it... definitely going to missed.

An absolute shame, and travesty.
