“For nearly 25 years, Jason “Devil Boy” Parkin was a staple in our crew. He was more than our production manager, he was our brother. We are devastated by his passing this week. Our prayers are with his family – thank you for loaning him to us all these years. Rest in peace DB, til we meet again. – DR”

Rucker is known for his warm smile and amazing personality, so it’s safe to assume he’s surrounded himself with the same kind of people. As of this publication, Rucker only has three more shows slated for the rest of the year, based on details listed on his official website. Rucker and his crew will likely honor their friend and colleague in his next performance, which will take place in South Carolina.
