The Mountain Goats – Roger Patterson Van Lyrics 15 years ago
This song is indeed referring to the late bassist, Roger Patterson, of Atheist fame.

As correctly pointed out, Atheist's frontman is named Kelly; Roger Patterson was killed when the band's touring van crashed on a Louisiana highway in February 1991, hence the reference to the vehicle, time and place.
