Darius Rucker is mourning after the death of his longtime production manager, Jason Parkin, this week. "For nearly 25 years, Jason 'Devil Boy' Parkin was a staple in our crew. He was more than our production manager, he was our brother," Darius writes in a statement. "We are devastated by his passing this week. Our prayers are with his family - thank you for loaning him to us all these years." Jason started working for Darius and Hootie & the Blowfish in 1998 and was two months shy of his 27th work anniversary at the time of his death.
