Frank Navetta

Frank Navetta (March 6, 1962 – October 31, 2008) was an American musician who co-founded the Descendents. Navetta played guitar and sang on track one of 1979’s Ride the Wild / It’s a Hectic World single, and played guitar on 1981’s Fat EP, and 1982’s full-length debut, Milo Goes to College. Prior to the recording of the Descendents' second album, Navetta set fire to his instruments, and moved to Oregon to become a full-time fisherman, effectively leaving the band. In 1996, Navetta contributed music to Everything Sucks, the Descendents' Epitaph debut. Prior to his passing in 2008, Navetta had worked on new material with Tony Lombardo and Bill Stevenson, both original Descendents members.
