From Government Issue...
"It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce that at 7:43 p.m 5/7/16 our comrade John Stabb Schroeder lost his hard fought battle with stomach cancer.
Our hearts go out to his wife Mina. Rest in Power, brother, there will never be another.
It didn't end the way we hoped it would, and he didn't want to leave us. As always, whether it was in a band, or in this last battle, he brought a lot of people together."
