Jon Card, a drummer known for his work with Canadian punk rock bands D.O.A., SNFU, The Subhumans, and Personality Crisis, has passed away at the age of 63 in Vancouver. Card was a prominent figure in the Canadian punk scene for four decades, leaving a lasting impact on the country's music scene. His former bandmates and friends confirmed his death on Monday. Card's contribution to D.O.A. was particularly significant, with frontman Joe Keithley describing him as one of the greatest punk rock drummers in Canada.

VANCOUVER — Drummer Jon Card, who played stints with Canadian punk rockers D.O.A., SNFU, The Subhumans and Personality Crisis, has died at the age of 63 in Vancouver.

"John was a good guy. He was a fantastic drummer," Keithley said, adding that Card played with the band for about five years starting in the mid-1980s. Subhumans bassist Gerry Hannah said in an interview that he was still processing the news of Card's death, but remembers the drummer as a charming and genuine man with a great sense of humour.

"John just took on that project methodically and with total focus and helped us put out, in my opinion, two of our best ever records," Hannah said. Crud knew Card more than 40 years."Watching him drum, I was completely, absolutely, utterly blown away, in awe really of the just pure ferocity of his playing style," Crud said of his first impressions.
