Pitchfork Media released a statement yesterday stating that San Diego scene staple, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Terrin Durfey has passed away after a decade-long bout with cancer, according to a post on the Electrical Audio message board verified by Touch and Go. Durfey spent time in the 90s as the bassist for San Diego indie rockers Boilermaker, and in recent years had played with the likes of the Jade Shader and Pinback.

Durfey intended to join Pinback on their recently wrapped fall tour, but a recurrence of his cancer kept him from the road.

He was 36 years old and is survived by his wife and six-year-old son.
