Update – September 26th, 2017 – 11:40am:
As it turns out, Lucker‘s own daughter Kenadee was the one who took the necklace from the grave and Heylmun wholly approves of her being its new owner.
Original Story:
Suicide Silence guitarist Mark Heylmun has put out the following message to whoever made off with a necklace he left on the headstone of the band’s late frontman Mitch Lucker, who died in a motorcycle accident back in 2012. Speaking via Instagram yesterday, Heylmun offered:
“Somebody took my necklace off Mitch‘s headstone. To that person: I’m not mad, if you know me it’s super hard to make me mad. I choose not to get mad, I’m already “mad” enough in my head. I hope that necklace brings you some peace and joy. Here’s a little about it. A good friend of mine and Mitch‘s gave it to me after a trip to Peru. We were there together but he stayed longer and brought it home to me.
I wear it for many reasons, I’ve worn it on stage under my shirt, I’ve worn it during times where I need strength and positive energy, from hikes to interviews for the band. It’s a material symbol of inspiration and power to me. I thought about not posting anything about it but I am posting this because I want friends and family to be able to trust that we can leave things at this Sacrad place(anonymously!), and that it is also somewhere we seek strength and energy from.
This is a place of trust and power for us. If we can’t TRUST that we can leave things here than it loses some of its power. We leave gifts offerings and sometimes we leave things to give and receive that power, like I left my necklace. So to that person: keep that necklace and cherish it or return it. No harm no foul. And to anyone who knows where Mitch is keep that site Sacrad please. Peace and love people.”
