John Petik RIP

[Batmaniak]

It appears John Petik passed away yesterday. It was posted by his band mates on Facebook today. RIP Raydrz.

Update: From his drummer, apparently he was at his Aunt's for Thanksgiving and didn't wake up from his nap. Some of his local friends are trying to make sure his beloved cats are safe and taken care of.
