My inbox was flooded this morning with the tragic news that my friend, "Jester" Joe Mojica and his daughter, Jeanie, had both suddenly passed away on Thursday afternoon. Though we had never formally met in person, Joe and myself had become fast friends and kindred spirits via The Gathering, an online community of devout Killing Joke fans. In short order, Joe endeared himself to all of us on the Gathering (as documented here and here), even becoming the band's erstwhile webmaster. Despite his long, valiant struggle with cancer, the big hearted Texan led a robustly active life, never lost his sense of humor and was dearly loved by his friends and family. I am profoundly saddened by his passing and my thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences go out to his wife Elana, and their two beloved sons.
