ReplyDeleteI was so sad when I read the news of his demise.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine the pain his family is going through.
I watched a recent video on his Instagram page of him and the wife dancing. The wife looked sooooooo sad.
DeleteThey may have been going through a rocky patch
Sad,rip ricky
ReplyDeleteRip
ReplyDeleteSo sad 💔💔💔💔💔💔
ReplyDeleteThis is sad
ReplyDeleteYou look at ppl's life sometimes and can only wonder. He had a stunning wife, two beautiful children, lived in a gorgeous home, had career success and still could not find peace in life. It's funny he supposedly was depressed from the loss of his father, and the irony is that his children are now placed in the same exact place. See generational cycle.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how anybody's life looks never think it is better than yours, never wish for anyone's life, and tap into nothing save the eternal peace of God. Keep praying for your loved ones and show that love in a visible way, folks are smiling with you and plotting their end same time🙆🏾♀️
Deep but true
DeleteHe was my favorite voice SA coach. So free spirited! This one touch me o, RIP
