Drummer Jeremiah Green Loses Battle to Brutal Disease at 45

Modest Mouse announced the sad news of Jeremiah Green’s death via social media on Saturday, December 31, 2022. Details of Jeremiah Green’s cause of death at 45 were shared on the Internet.

“I don’t know a way to ease into this: Today we lost our dear friend Jeremiah. He laid down to rest and simply faded out,” the band announced in a statement via Instagram.

“I like to say a bunch of pretty words right now, but it just isn’t the time. These will come later, and from many people. Please appreciate all the love you give, get, have given, and will get. Above all, Jeremiah was about love. We love you,” the statement read.

Jeremiah Martin Green was born on March 4, 1977, in Oahu, Hawaii, United States. He took drumming lessons for three months in his teen years but was uninspired by his teacher.

Green immersed himself in the Seattle music scene, joining a band and attending concerts at night. His early influences included local bands such as Hammerbox and Treepeople.

His favorite band was the English Gothic rock band The Cure. Jeremiah was particularly inspired by the drumming on their 1982 album Pornography. He also cited the D.C. post-hardcore band Fugazi as his greatest influence for starting a band.

Jeremiah began his touring and recording career while he was in high school. He played with the bands Red Stars Theory on Touch and Go Records, Satisfact on K Records, and Peeved on Distressed Records.

He also played with a band by the name of Vells, as well as another group named Psychic Emperor. Both groups played at venues around Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.

In 2003, on the day of his birthday, he quit Modest Mouse. Green later revealed that he suffered a nervous breakdown and was shortly admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

After quitting, the band had quickly convinced him to return, but on the second day of recording in Portland Green exploded in argument and then “disappeared” for two months.

Faced with Green’s absence, the band initially considered breaking up. Jeremiah was eventually replaced by Benjamin Weikel of The Helio Sequence.

He officially rejoined the band in May 2004. In 2007, Jeremiah appeared on Graig Markel’s Via Novella on the Sonic Boom Label. Green released a drum breaks 7″ collaboration with Plastiq Phantom in May 2008.

Founding member and drummer of the indie rock band Modest Mouse Jeremiah Green’s cause of death was reported as cancer. On December 25, 2022, the band announced that Green was battling stage IV cancer.

Green’s mother Carole Namatame said on social media that her son died “peacefully in his sleep” on New Year’s Eve. “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,” Namatame shared via Facebook on Saturday.

She continued: “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. Jeremiah was a light to so many. At this time the family is requesting privacy.”

“More information will be forthcoming including a Celebration of Life for friends and fans in the coming months. Jeremiah’s loved ones would like to thank everyone for their continued well wishes and support.”

Isaac Brock, 47, confirmed the sad news about Green’s cancer on Wednesday, December 28, 2022. “Some of you may have already heard, but I figured it would be good to hear the news directly from our camp,” he wrote via Modest Mouse’s official Instagram.

The “Float On” singer said in his statement that Jeremiah was diagnosed with cancer a short while ago, and he was in treatment. Brock added: “It seems to be going smoothly and making a positive difference.”

“Jeremiah, as am I, are believers in the power of positive energy, so if you would be so kind as to send ‘good vibes’ (to quote Jeremiah) in the direction of Jeremiah and his family, that’d be great,” the singer wrote.

Green was married to Lauren Green, who owned the store Thuja in downtown Port Townsend. His son Wilder was born in 2016.

The tributes started pouring in for the late artist. Bandmate Simon O’Connell shared a lengthy tribute where he stated Jeremiah was the reason he joined the band.

“RIP Jeremiah Green. An unbelievably inventive drummer for the band that shaped my entire musical taste and I loved more than anything when I was in high school. I tried to figure out how to play Truckers Atlas for at least 10 years. Could never get it right. What a legend,” Sam Cooper tweeted.

Skateboarder Tony Hawk commented on the band’s post: “Sweetest dude ever. He will be missed dearly.”

Johnny Marr, a former member of the band, wrote, “The great Jeremiah Green. My friend, bandmate, and the most creative musician I ever met.”
