Great dude. Great husband. Great father. Great artist.
Fuck cancer.
From his label, Full Plate, FB page:
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share this with you all. Our general PATEN LOCKE has transitioned. He passed in the comfort of his own home, surrounded by his family and is finally free from the pain he has been enduring for the past months. Although we are missing him so immensely we do take some solace in knowing that he is now FREE. He touched so many lives and he loved each and every one of you so much. His music and legacy will live forever. We will be making announcements & updates as they become available. We are in shock and still processing this so please bear with us. We are still raising funds for his daughter and family at PlanetLocke.com - Now then, go blast some PATEN LOCKE music! Salute to the General. DJ Therapy. Iron Paten. The One Man Army, P. Locke.
