This was kind of shocking news! I loved his work on Stargate and Stargate Atlantis. I bought his CDs when he released them of Ark of Truth and also Continuum. I'm lucky enough to have signed copies. He will be missed.

aww RIP, joel ._.
Damn, so young to go. I love all of his scores.
Too young! RIP.
Just a correction, it's Joel Goldsmith not Jerry that just passed away. His dad (Jerry) died back in 2004.

Yeah, I saw this post headline and though it was really old an someone had bumped it. Still very sad for his son, so young.
Yes I initially thought this was Jerry but then realized. Sad all the same, especially since he was so young.
I'll edit KTrek's first post to fix the name.

Aak! I knew it was Joel and still titled it wrong. I was rushing out the door to work. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. :o

so very sad. I love some of his music. So rich and deep. I think insurrection is one of the best movie scores ever!
