Ryder Thele Obituary, Death – Jacob Thiele, a former keyboardist for the dance-punk band The Faint from Omaha, Nebraska, laid to rest on February 13 after passing away earlier this month. Thiele passed away earlier this month. He was 40. According to a report that was filed with the Omaha police department by a friend, which was reported by the Omaha World-Herald, a friend discovered Thiele to be unresponsive, and the friend filed a report with the police department. The friend was the one who turned in the report. It is a mystery as to what led to him vanishing right in front of our very eyes.
The heartbreaking information regarding Thiele’s passing was first disseminated by The Faint across a variety of social media platforms. A post on the band’s official Instagram account conveyed the band’s condolences on the passing of their dear buddy Jacob Thiele. The post was first published on the band’s personal Instagram account. “We are devastated to learn of the demise of our good colleague Jacob Thiele,” said the note. “Because of his friendliness, easygoing temperament, willingness to try new things, and easygoing nature, he was always a joy to be around.
He was also open to new experiences. If he had not been involved, the music of The Faint would not have had the same recognizable, distinctive sound that it does now because he was an innovation in the field of synthesizers. The fact that we were able to spend as much time as we did with him is something that we consider to be one of the most significant blessings in our life. Jacob, the love that I have for you will never fade away.”
The frontman for The Faint, Todd Fink, shared his thoughts on the situation in a subsequent tweet and wrote, “Jacob was present for a great number of significant and life-changing moments throughout his life. At this very time, I find myself overcome with an overwhelming sense of sorrow.”
