Geoff Mann's death ,although tragic,did at least lead to Pete Nicholls returning to IQ and thereby releasing 2 of my favourite prog albums in 'Ever' and 'The Seventh House'.Not sure of the whole background story though.Perhaps someone else can fill in?

Tommy Bolin............................... only a fraction of his
potential ever tapped. Likewise Ollie Hassell. Jimi Hendrix.

You know what? ... Seems to me that to be a famous prog-rocker
guarantees a pretty long life ... Thankfully a huge percentage of our
idols are still here ... in corporeal form ...
I'd have to vote for Zappa, although he left such a huge legacy that I
don't quite have that feeling of lost potential that I have with Syd
Barrett ...
As far as I can see, just about the only crucial members of major prog
bands who have passed on are Bardens and Procol Harum's peerless
drummer BJ Wilson (now there's underrated for you) ... Thain and Byron
too, if you rank Heep as proggers ...
Usually as soon I send a post, I will think of many more additions I could have made ... hopefully that won't happen this time.

It's obvious Frank had the most to offer.
No one was as prolific as him. His music was daring and original,
always fluctuating with the times. Never succumbing to being a dated
artist.
Frank just couldn't be categorised

Although Syd is not actually 'dead, his is the ultimate story of "what might have been" had he not succumbed to his illness 
Of course, one could say that had he never "faded away" then Gilmour
would never have risen to prominence and we may never have experienced
DSoTM onwards. SO kind of a Catch-22...

I voted for Shaun Guerin
I have never heard his music, only read about it. He put out two albums (in 2002 and 2003) in the vein of early Genesis. He passed away in 2003. His music made a strong impression on Paul Whitehead who made the artwork for both albums.

The Genesis influence is patent in the vocals as Shaun is a PG 'clone'. Otherwise the music reminds a lot of the Rudess-Morgenstein project.
