Lima is not the first member of LFO to pass away after a battle with cancer, as former LFO singer Rich Cronin also fought the illness. In 2005, Cronin was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia and, sadly, later died in 2010 at the age of 36.
While former member Brian Gillis is also still alive, Brad Fischetti in the only official current member of LFO left.
