Reports online and Twitter posts are surfacing with indication that Stewart Teggart--a band manager who worked with the likes of Bad Religion, Pennywise, Therefore I Am, Blessthefall, Greeley Estates and more--has passed away. Teggart reportedly died Tuesday night as the result of a heart attack.

Therefore I Am guitarist Brian Marquis told us: "We are all shocked and saddened by the passing of our friend Stewart Teggart. He was more than a manager to us. He was like a bad-ass uncle who taught us all how to fight. I talked to Stew everday for the past year, and the things I learned from him during that short time are immeasurable. Stew is responsible for the best summer of our lives on Warped Tour this past summer. Our condolences go out to Judi Teggart who is the sweetest person you'll ever meet and all their family. Anyone who knew Stew would know that he wouldn't want us all getting soft and crying about him so for all of you: 'Taste bro, taste.'"

No official statement has been released, but we'll bring you more as we hear it.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Stewart Teggart.
