On Wednesday, January 25th, RIOT guitarist and founder Mark Reale passed away due to complications stemming from Crohn's disease in a San Antonio hospital. He was 56 year old. Reale had been in a coma since January 11th due to a subarachnoid hemorrhage. He had battled Crohn's for most of his life, working and performing while enduring almost constant pain and the side effects of treatment for his illness. He was in Texas bravely attempting to practice for the band's scheduled shows, but was felled by a severe onset of Crohn's symptoms, which eventually put him in the Intensive Care Unit.



Mark Reale's official headstone ceremony is this Saturday, August 11th at 10am at Holy Cross Cemetary (17501 Nacogdoches Rd) in San Antonio, Texas (behind Rolling Oaks Mall). The public is invited.
