EDDIE VAN HALEN Memorial Ideas Sought By PasadenaCity manager Steve Mermell was directed to come up with ideas for how to best honor the musician, who died on October 6 at the age of 65. Among suggestions for the memorial are for alleyway Electric Drive to be renamed for Eddie; erecting a monument somewhere in the city; renaming a park; a life-size statue; and turning his childhood home into a historic landmark. Councilman Victor Gordo suggested that Mermell bring together a public group to figure out for the most appropriate way to remember Van Halen, who attended school in Pasadena with his drummer brother Alex, and played backyard parties in the area with VAN HALEN in the early 1970s before signing a record deal and achieving worldwide fame. In the last three weeks, the city has been bombarded with requests to pay tribute to Eddie "to recognize both his local connection to Pasadena, as well as the impact that his artistry had on music," Mermell wrote in a report. Following Eddie's death after a long battle with cancer, fans left flowers at his childhood home on Las Lunas Street in Pasadena. Additional flowers, candles and fan mementos were placed on Allen Avenue where Eddie and Alex scratched their band's name into the wet cement of a sidewalk when they were teenagers. VAN HALEN was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2007. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Eddie Van Halen No. 8 in its list of the 100 greatest guitarists. We are saddened by the news of Eddie Van Halen's passing. Pasadena was home to Eddie and his family for many years. Our condolences go out to the entire Van Halen family. https://t.co/rpE8TObCOI — City of Pasadena (@PasadenaGov) October 6, 2020 We are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of #PCCAlum #EddieVanHalen.

Stopped by today, where a small shrine has formed. I wasn't the only person there, either #RIPEddieVanHalen #RIPEVH #VanHalen pic.twitter.com/cIjB1fWPW1 — Rachel (@rachillax_13) October 7, 2020 @RushFamTourneys a small yet emotional memorial started since yesterday night/today morning at Pasadena where Eddie Van Halen grew up. ?? pic.twitter.com/iLWSyn6qAs — Arun Sabherwal (@mobydick2010) October 7, 2020 A small memorial has appeared in Pasadena near Allen and Villa, right where VAN HALEN is carved into the curb, courtesy of Ed and Al, way before they were famous.
