Way too young, hard RIP. I hope he and the other Slipknot guys were able to reconcile over the years. He was a fantastic drummer and musician, a big part of what made those first few albums so great, and has probably been massively influential to so many others.

Such a massive loss, his drumming was easily what elevated Slipknot above their peers and made them stand out.

Rest in peace, man.
