We will be working on plans for a celebration for his extraordinary life. For now, we want to thank Jack for inspiring this remarkable community—something more than simply band, family or scene—which changed the lives of so many people in ways which are hard to articulate, and which is perhaps the most enduring part of his legacy. Please raise a glass of your choice in his memory; we shall not see his like again.”
Others have also taken to their social media pages to pay tribute to the one of kind musician. People such as Jeff Rosenstock, Craig Finn, Laura Jane Grace, Damian Abraham and more have written beautiful posts for Terricloth.
