Jeremiah Green, the drummer and one of the founders of the indie rock band Modest Mouse, has died at the age of 45.
Modest Mouse, and Carol Namatame, Green's mother, both announced his passing on social media Saturday.
"It is with a very heavy heart that the Green and Namatame families announce the passing of their husband, father, son and brother, Jeremiah Green. Jeremiah, drummer and founding member of the Issaquah based band Modest Mouse, lost his courageous battle with cancer on December 31," Namatame wrote on a Facebook post.
"He went peacefully in his sleep. Jeremiah was a light to so many. At this time the family is requesting privacy. More information will be forthcoming including a Celebration of Life for friends and fans in the coming months. Jeremiah’s loved ones would like to thank everyone for their continued well wishes and support."
Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse said Green had been diagnosed with cancer in an Instagram post Wednesday.
On Saturday, Modest Mouse posted on Instagram: "I don’t know a way to ease into this: Today we lost our dear friend Jeremiah. He laid down to rest and simply faded out."
"I’d like to say a bunch of pretty words right now, but it just isn’t the time. These will come later, and from many people. Please appreciate all the love you give, get, have given, and will get. Above all, Jeremiah was about love. We love you."
Green and his wife, Lauren, lived in Port Townsend and have owned the boutique store Thuja in downtown since 2017.
Modest Mouse performed at the 2022 THING festival in Port Townsend in August, and were scheduled to tour South America with the tour kicking off in Buenos Aires, Argentina on March 17 for Lollapalooza Argentina 2023.
