He died of natural causes.
For almost 9 years he had been the single parent of his daughter. He had bought a home, once an old famrhouse and enjoyed his own home improvement projects. He had an incredibly full life.

He was most at ease playing harmonica and singing as the sometimes front man with the Boogie Brothers Blues Band in the north San Diego County.
He grew up in Ventura, Ventura, California and began surfing frequently. He fished with his father and brother. He laughed when his father put one over on him as a teen by telling him the reason they had to stop riding for the day and make camp on the way to the fishing camp was because the horses were tired. On the last day of his life before the heart attack and ailments felled him, he spent riding with his brother and friend on a boat around the whole of Lake Casitas, a reservoir famed for its bass fishing.
His grandmother bought the first house built in Ventura after World War II, because her daughter was pregnant with her third child and needed a larger place. Its fine views of the Channel Islands came to enthrall him and he spent much time in his last years visiting his siblings there.
