156/Silence Bassist Lukas Booker Has Passed Away, GoFundMe Launched for Funeral Expenses

Tragic news has surfaced as 156/Silence bassist Lukas Booker has passed away. The heartbreaking announcement was shared by his sister, Brittany, who has launched a GoFundMe to assist the family with funeral expenses.

Brittany shared the following on the fundraiser page:

“Hello, my name is Brittany. I’m the oldest sister of Lukas Booker. We are asking for help to put my brother to rest. He passed away today suddenly and did not have life insurance. He was a great man and a wonderful light that made the world brighter. He would do anything for anyone that needed him. He absolutely loved his family, the band he played in, and his friends. Please help if you can, all donations will be given to his father, Maurice Booker. We appreciate all of you!”

Meredith Henderson, drummer and vocalist of VCTMS, also shared a heartfelt tribute:

“Of all the people I’ve toured with, you were the only one who understood what it’s like to tour with chronic breathing problems and spoke about it in ways that I have never been able to resonate with anyone else. Thank you for your kindness, your spirit, your joy, and your resilience to keep moving forward. I’ll forever hold our time together close to the chest. Love you, lung buddies forever. Rest easy, Lukas Booker. Thinking of the 156/Silence camp today.”

Our thoughts are with Booker‘s family, bandmates, and the entire music community affected by this loss.
