Saturday: 10/20/2012 found out that [ A CLOSE Friend of the FAM Passed ]...
Young only 20/21 years old... Talented... a Kind, Smiling person... and Well known, loved and respected. This young brother had his whole life ahead of him... His name was Vincent [ AKA: TC/J.R. ]... All who knew him, will Miss him forever as of this day... A tragedy struck; a senseless Death occurred, and took him all too soon.
A wise, caring Young, but Old soul, will never know what it's like to truly grow old... So for that, I wish him Mercy and So much Peace into the hereAfter, and Ask that God has Mercy upon his Kind Soul, and if he didn't get the chance to ask, I ask on his behalf, that each and every sin he's ever committed be forgiven............Ameen.
He did NOT deserve to lose his life so young, in such a senseless manner...
So, Please, if ANYONE heard ANYTHING or KNOWS anything! Contact the Police or Family... Thank you.
