He was 55. His death was confirmed by his longtime friend and bandmate John Reis, who wrote on Instagram that he “passed away suddenly last night from natural causes.” “His art made life better,” Reis wrote. “The only thing he loved more than art and rock and roll was his friends.
He will forever be remembered for his creativity, vision and his ability to bring beauty into this world. I love you, Rick. I will miss you for the rest of my life.” Drive Like Jehu signed to Interscope Records in the early 1990s, the group was an indie rock stalwart in an era where that genre blossomed.
