LeRoi Moore, 46, the versatile saxophonist whose signature staccato fused jazz and funk overtones onto the eclectic sound of the Dave Matthews Band, died Tuesday of complications from injuries he suffered in an all-terrain vehicle accident, the band said.
Moore died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was admitted with complications that arose weeks after the June 30 wreck, the band's website said.
Maudie White Hopkins, 93, who grew up during the Depression in the hardscrabble Ozarks and married a Confederate army veteran 67 years her senior, has died in Helena-West Helena, Ark., said Rodger Hooker of the Roller-Citizens Funeral Home.
Hopkins grew up in a family of 10 children, did laundry and cleaned house for William Cantrell, a Confederate veteran. When he offered to leave his land and home to her if she would marry him and care for him in his later years, she said yes. She was 19; he was 86.
