A FUNERAL FOR BOBBY: Donations Needed For Bobby Ubangi's Burial

ubangi

Regrettably, there has been another death that deserves notice.

Atlanta musician Bobby Ubangi (born Benjamin Jay Womack) has, as of July 1st, lost a well-fought bout with brain cancer. We did not know Bobby, but he was a person well loved in the Atlanta music scene. He was a member to several bands, including the Jared Swilley-fronted Gay Blades, but was too busy going off and getting beat up by his girlfriend to be serious about putting out records.

After his diagnosis, B Jay Womack didn’t give in to depression, but instead went to work, making the last part of his life the most productive while outliving medical expectations. You can read more about the life and times of Bobby Ubangi right here.

Unfortunately, this was not a man of means. A cost of $4000 – $5000 is required to give Bobby Ubangi the “green funeral” he wanted. Sounds like he deserved it.

Make your donation here.
