Jeremiah Green, the founding drummer for the rock band Modest Mouse, has died just days after the band announced he had been diagnosed with cancer.
He was 45.
“It is with a very heavy heart that the Green and Namatame families announce the passing of their husband, father, son and brother, Jeremiah Green,” his mother Carol Namatame posted on Facebook.

“Jeremiah, drummer and founding member of the Issaquah based band Modest Mouse, lost his courageous battle with cancer on December 31. He went peacefully in his sleep,” the post read.
Modest Mouse announced Green’s passing in an Instagram post on Saturday.
“Today we lost our dear friend Jeremiah. He laid down to rest and simply faded out,” according to a statement posted on Saturday on the band’s social media accounts.
“Please appreciate all the love you give, get, have given, and will get. Above all, Jeremiah was about love.”
Green was barely in his teens when he joined the newly formed Modest Mouse, which featured singer-guitarist Isaac Brock and bassist Eric Judy among others.
Modest Mouse was originally based in the Seattle suburb Issaquah and later relocated to Portland.
Its name originates from a passage by Virginia Woolf, who once described everyday individuals as “modest mouse-coloured people”.
Influenced by Talking Heads and XTC among others, Modest Mouse debuted in 1996 with the album This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About and built a substantial critical following before having mainstream success with their fourth release, Good News for People Who Love Bad News, and the singles Float On and Ocean Breathes Salty.
Green had a breakdown around the time of Good News for People Who Love Bad News, released in 2004, and briefly left the band.
He was back for more recent albums, including Strangers to Ourselves and The Golden Casket, which came out in 2021.
Last week, band frontman Isaac Brock announced Green had been recently diagnosed with cancer but did not specify what kind of cancer.
Radio DJ Marco Collins tweeted last week that Green had pulled out of a tour because he had stage 4 cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
