January 4, 2016, 8 years ago
Sadly, BraveWords must report that Rollins Band / Mother Superior, and Blue Man Group drummer Jason Mackenroth passed away January 3rd after batting prostate cancer.
"Today, I lost a great friend, Jason Mackenroth to prostate cancer," writes Rollins Band / Mother Superior bassist Marcus Blake on Facebook. "He was an incredible drummer and had the most incredible sense of humor you could ever know. I am in shock. I find it hard right now to put into words my love for him and his friendship. We traveled the world together making music, talking about his favorite band, KISS, and laughing until our guts hurt.
He was not only an amazing drummer but he was an excellent father and husband. Life is too short. Be like Jason. Make someone you know smile like he made me smile. A simple thing like that means so much. I miss you, Jason.
Please donate to Jason’s wife, Jaye Mackenroth and her kids on the surviving family’s GoFundMe page. Jason’s family needs financial assistance with living expenses so they can remain in Las Vegas until the youngest son, Joren, graduates from high school in June 2016. With the loss of Jason's income, this is a real challenge."
