RIP MIGGY

It seems that late Wednesday night early Thursday morning the dark side consumed Miggys life. :(

He was 37 years old and left behind a beautiful 3 year old daughter.

he wrote Wednesday February the 18th "if you could see past my dark sarcastic sense of humor
(Or attempt at it) you know I really do have the best of well hearted intentions. The waves will crash, the Sun will rise plant life will blossom, music will play, to the beat of a different drummer"

I remember seeing him early in the day camped out first in line at the door of the La Cita for the first club show Janes did with Eric at the end of '08. I believe he's up front in this clip:



RIP, you crazy fucker.

Aw man, that is sad news. :sad:
Every now and again I've wondered about Miggy and what happened to him. I had no idea that he'd had a child. I feel sorry his little girl lost her father.

Miggy used to call me "fur pie". :lol:
There was a thread once about grooming "down there", and I mentioned that I preferred to go au naturel. After that Miggy came up with his nick name for me.


RIP MIggy.

That's really sad to hear.
I remember miggy really well from the one tome I met him. He was a real character and really sweet too!

how do you know he died for sure? i'm assuming suicide from what he wrote?

I don't remember the context or the conversation, but I did this shitty photoshop job of him as a professional wrestler at some point about 10 years ago.

Creep, Miggy played in a couple bands, one with drummer Kenny D that we all know so well from his photography and playing drum gigs with Perkins. Miggy was an hour late for band practice wednsday which according to Ken is very unusual for Miggy so a worried bandmate drove straight to his house to check on him but it was too late. This is all I know.
Miggys little girl is adorable and seeing his love for her over the years via fb really gave me a soft spot for Miggy. He really loved his daughter and seemed to cherish his time with her

Sad news. On the boards he definitely skirted the line of being a troll, but he was pretty funny and you could tell he was a good guy at heart. Never really met him, but remember seeing him in line at La Cita and it was like a Jane's community celeb sighting for me. (I'm the guy in the black shirt with green circle in the clip Panda posted. Man, that was a great show.)
RIP

it's crazy how everyone bought back in to the band at that time. shit even kv got off the couch and saw them. sure didn't take long to turn everyone against them.

i know miggy was playing in a jane's tribute band for a while.

Terrible

I believe my only interaction with him was when I made a comment on a Hellride thread on Xiola about wanting to hear them since there weren't any videos on Youtube by them and he randomly sent me a PM asking for my address and he then sent me a CD-R of a show.

I always thought that was cool

that just shows you how shitty of a record strays really was...we were all chomping at the bit waiting for any crumb to fall our way...and we dove in head first wanting to love it...but it had zero holding power...this board as a whole is mostly over it....while rit xxx and ns are still holding strong...this last record i forget it's name even even less then strays....was funny reading about faith no more and how after a short reunion they were bored as fuck with the old stuff and wanted to move on to new...not play the same shit every night,,,,good on them, but for jane's that's all they had...all they were ever gonna get...so smartly, imho, they road it into the ground...it's 2015....they are making cash this summer...good on them
