Allen Shellenberger, drummer of the popular rock band Lit died yesterday after a long battle with brain cancer. He was only 39 years old.Last year, Shellenberger was diagnosed with this type of cancer, and he started chemotherapy and radiation treatments at the Cedars-Sinai Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute.
Shellenberger founded Lit in Fullerton in 1990s. Today Lit issued the following statement about Allen’s passing:
“To know Al was to know laughter.
“He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. Words cannot begin to express how much he will be missed. This was our brother and not a day will go by that we won’t think about him. Right now we’re trying to find the balance of mourning his loss and celebrating his life.
“Allen has experienced more in his 39 years than most people dream of in 10 lifetimes. This is a tremendous loss for us, our fans and also for Allen’s family who took such good care of him during his battle with cancer.
Unfortunately, these treatments aren’t a safe bet to survive cancer and leave people weak, sad and still with the cancer! Our thoughts go to his family. He has one daughter, Giovanna Mackey.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Allen Shellenberger will be greatly missed.
