FROM ROBERT MOSELEY: 

The last of the Abbotts are gone...
Vinnie's Dad, the great LD, Jerry Abbott has died.
Just shy of 81, in his sleep yesterday.
I loved Vinnie's Dad, Jerry as he was like my own.
Full of wisdom and advice, always kind to me.
Back when I had my restaurant in downtown Dallas (2009),
"Reno's Bar and Grill" he used to love to come hang out and eat.
He loved it so much I took the photos of him for his "BJ BLUE" album. I haven't seen him a few years, his mind was slipping, he was put in a care facility. He outlived his wife and his sons.
All who know him would tell you he was just the best.
Goodnight Abbotts.
You were loved.

 FROM PANTERA: 

Rest in Peace Jerry Abbott
Jerry was the father of Vince & Darrell & was a huge influence on us, in our formative years. He passed down an incredible legacy of his own. He was a great songwriter and a much sought after engineer & producer. He managed the band from ‘82-‘89 & taught us a lot. We can look back now & see that without him; we might not have ever made it out of Tejas. But we did...
Hearing the news of his passing, we immediately thought of all the great times we had with the “LD”, a nickname we gave him, and all the things that made him so very special!! This cannot be said enough, he was one of the good ones & will be missed!! He’s in a much better place now... God Bless. - Rex Brown & Philip Anselmo ‘24

 Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ R.I.P. JERRY
