He will be missed. Much love and respect to friends and family.

OMG!! that’s terrible! What a horrible death RIP Jerry Fuchs!

Very Sad. His next show was in San Francisco performing with The Juan Maclean.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jerry and his family. It is such a tragic loss. Still can’t believe this happened to him. So saddened.

Damn. I saw Knife Skills at the third incarnation of the club “Sine” in the L.E.S about 6 or 7 years ago… good band, but Jerry was the standout. Really just phenomenal. I never do this, but this time I had to tell him how much we liked him. He seemed like a nice guy, but I didn’t know him. I do know we lost a truly great musician.

How Sad

I knew this guy- grew up playing music with him, and he was a very dear friend. In fact, it was rare to meet someone like him in music. Amazing talent, sense of humor, and no big head about it at all. Most good drummers are assholes. Not Jerry at all. Really a good friend.

Saw Jerry perform in several bands. An outstanding drummer. He certainly had the gift, taking to a new level. I absolutely agree with Mike Haggerty, most good drummers ARE pricks. This guy had it all. He will be greatly missed.

He will be missed greatly, one of the most prolific drummers of our modern day. RIP Jerry, we’ll miss you

Most creative drummer death since Spinal Tap.

Well done, Jerry.

My condolences to Jerry’s friends and family. This is too sad.

I am sad

This is just so much to take. Although I had not seen Jerry in several years, he was the kind of guy you could pick right back up with where you left off.

His band toured with my band in the 90s and I have many fantastic memories of him.

Hands down, the most admirable drummer and friend anyone could ever ask for.

As old friends of the Fuchs family, we are shocked to hear of Jerry’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in such a difficult time. My children had a great time in NYC with Jerry, as always he was (like his family) the nicest, most warm and caring person. God bless you all, Joy, Jerry, Erica, Adam and Gretchen

I grew up 2 doors from the Fuchs and knew Jerry from the time I was in diapers. He was always about the drumming. I love playing drums as well but more as a hobby.

Jerry and I loved listening to KISS. My sister told me we used to listen to it all the time.

This was such a tragic end to a great musician’s life. He will be most definately missed.

To anonymous up there that was too chicken to use a name etc. grow up. Give him some respect.

Best wishes to all that feel the loss. I’ll be in Atlanta on Tuesday.

We have know the Fuchs family for many years and we are very sorry for their loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. What a tragedy.

RIP. Sending his family and friends love.

And remember that performance from time to time as one of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s not easy for a drummer to stand out as having perfect-timing and tasteful skills in a synth ensemble. He was amazing, truly. What a bummer.

I met Jerry in Germany 3 years ago. He was such a great musician!

i spent thanks giving with jerry the year before last and he was such a character. i really hit it off with him and thought he was the best. i’m totally beside myself. he was a super person and the world is at a loss without him.

There are no words for such a loss. My condolences to Joy and her whole family.
