Paying tribute, Sacred Bones wrote on Twitter: “It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we have to inform you of a loss in our family. Tres Warren has passed away. He was a dear friend and artist whose beautiful music and spirit touched us all. You will be forever missed. Rest easy, Tres.”

Portland’s Moon Duo added: “Crushed to hear of the passing of Tres Warren. One of the greats. R.I.P.”
