In Memory of LeRoi Moore

I woke up this morning to the news that LeRoi Moore passed away last night from complications associated with a previous ATV accident. LeRoi Moore was born in 1961 in Dunn, North Carolina.

Interestingly enough his real name was Gary Lee Moore. LeRoi was a founding member of the Dave Mathew's Band and had helped to write several songs - the most well known being "Stay" and "Too Much".

I am not going to provide information about the accident or cause of death as I think it is irrelevant to me. This great musician will be missed; especially in the music festival world.

Please find below, a message to fans from the official Dave Mathew's Band website:

"We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program."
