The passing of Ricky Siahaan on April 19, 2025, is a deep sorrow for the extended family of Seringai. Ricky passed away after performing in Japan as part of the East Asia concert tour titled Seringai Signature Time Wolves of East Asia Tour 2025.

According to Arian, the way Ricky passed away actually shows how great his dedication to music was. He believes his friend left after doing what he loved the most. "Ricky passed away after he played the music he loved and to the fullest. That is what we will always remember. And we will always remember Ricky," Arian said.
