Lucker was riding his black 2013 Harley-Davidson south on Main Street in Huntington Beach about 8:55 p.m. Wednesday when he hit a light pole near the intersection of 13th Street.
The motorcycle continued sliding south on Main Street and struck a northbound 2007 Nissan Titan pickup.
Lucker was seriously injured and was treated at the scene by paramedics. He died shortly after 6 a.m. on Thursday at UC Irvine Medical Center.
« He was an alcoholic, and it’s a been a big battle, » Jolie Carmadella said at last night’s candlelight vigil at the crash site, which was attended by 300-400 fans, friends and
family members (see video below). « I tried to stop him. I was in front of him begging him not to leave the house. Begging him. ‘Just seriously, for us, don’t leave.’ And he did. And this is what
happened.
« It’s a wake-up call. »
She continued, « He was an amazing man. He was a wonderful father and a great husband. And now he’s gonna miss out on watching [his five-year-old daughter] Kenadee grow, because
he decided to drink and ride.
« Just don’t. Just think before you guys do something stupid. Please learn from this. Please. »
The surviving members of SUICIDE SILENCE posted a statement on their Facebook page Thursday morning reading, « There’s no easy way to say this.
Mitch passed away earlier this morning from injuries sustained during a motorcycle accident. This is completely devastating to all of us and we offer our deepest condolences to
his family. He will be forever in our hearts. »
