Hi everyone.

 

    On Sunday August 28 2004, long time friend and DRIvIN' RAIN Road Manager Jeremy "Cuz" Jaco died in his Cape Girardeau Missouri home. He leaves behind his family in the band. Two sisters, a girlfriend and a as yet unborn baby boy.

 

 

   This has hit us all very hard. we spent everyday together for the last year, and Cuz was truly a dear friend and a loyal member of the band.

   CUZ had been drinking at Players and had come home after the bar had closed. He had been feeling down lately, some because of the post here on CapeScene. Other because of pressures from his soon to be born child. Cuz took some pills to calm him and to help him sleep. Mixed with all that he had drank that night it caused his heart to stop. And he never work up. We found him still in his bed at 3:00 on sunday. The time of his passing was around 5:30 am.

   Visitations for CUZ will be at Ford And Sons Funeral Home on Mt Auburn Wednesday 9:30 to 10:30 and funeral is at 10:30. All those that knew and cared for him are asked to attend 

   We will be doing a benefit show at PLAYERS in the next few weeks, to help pay for funeral expenses and to hopeful set up a trust fund for his soon to be born baby CUZ Jr.

    Thos who knew CUZ loved him dearly, thos that hated cuz at least respected him. We will never get over his untimely young death. And we dedicated our song "GOODBYE" to his memory.

   CUZ brother you WILL be missed..............

      

     a memorial page will be put up soon at www.drivinrain.net/cuz.html
