One of the best 💯

He was one nice man. He was a client of one of partners of my father’s law firm. My mom used to make a scratch made chocolate chip cake. It was his favorite followed by home made beignets. I would get 2 Barbie dolls from him every Christmas. One to play with and one to collect. When I grew older I also got 2 signed copies of his albums and singles. One to listen to and one to collect. *Mr. Myers told me to work so hard until my bank account looked like telephone numbers.* He was smart, generous as well as talented. I only met him in person a handful of times but his advice and gifts are cherished.

What a coincidence. My mother called me Heavy D jokingly when I was young, after I started being called Justin D in school but also alluding to my similarities with him as far as being a chubby lil boy loving to dance. I always dug his demeanor, and now that I'm grown, I see it resonates with me more than ever. Even had been listening to one of his albums so years back that got me through one of my hardest times in life. I was turned 29 in June of 2011, and had a similar incident, at home alone, and I told myself if I go down, no one would be there o find me so I forced myself to open my doors in case something happened. Went to the hospital but they neglected me and did no tests, sending me home with steroids. 20 days later I was hospitalized only using 10% of my left lung to the same thing that killed him. Smdh. R.I.P. Heavy D!!!

He was one of a kind!

What a wonderful,thoughtful video tribute to an Absolutely Legendary Hip-Hop Icon and a ray of Sunshine wherever he appeared.He is sorely missed.

I love this. As a fan of his since day one, this took me back to the day I found out the sad, sad news. You did a phenomenal job on this. New follower here. ❤

I can’t think of anyone more beloved then that man in our culture i don’t normally get emotional but watching this really got to me it let people who aren’t even old enough to remember the group or him how great and amazing they truly were and how they touched so many people’s lives Rest In Peace Heavy.

Thank you Heavy for bringing joy to my heart and a little laughter to my soul. I Loved your style.

Heavy D was my guy. I loved his energy, musical content, and dancing talents. I believe, that if he was still alive, he would have become and a pretty good actor. I miss him. FOREVER, RIP to the late great Heavy D!

I truly truly love this man and took his death personally. His music especially,television and movie appearances had a big impact on the earlier years in my life. I could not watch this with a dry eye. He is a special human being and another reminder that the good die young. "The Over weight Lover" was just that and very few could out weigh or compare to the love he showed his fans and for people in general. I met him with my Dad one of the best and few memories i have of my Dad and when Heavy passed, it was like losing my Dad all over again.
