R.I.P. Jon Blank
I’m hesitant to even comment on it, since it’s not like I knew him or had ever seen him play except at the Roadburn aftershow, but nonetheless, heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Wino/Rezin bassist Jon Blank, who was found dead from a suspected drug overdose on Saturday night. Whether it’s a soldier on a battlefield or an old man in a leather chair, it’s always sad to lose someone, and all the worse under the alleged circumstances. The Obelisk sends sympathies to those connected to this departed brother of doom.
A funeral is being held at King David Memorial Gardens tomorrow. Here’s the address:
7482 Lee Hwy
Falls Church, VA 22042
Wow. That is just awful. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends. A Real tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with Jon and his loved ones this evening.
