Chad it took me some time to come and sign this because it made it real that you are really gone. I remember meeting you in 1994, and how you would make me laugh. You were more like a brother than a friend; yes, I am the oldest by 4-months even though you would never admit it; always saying I am your little sister. (LOL)I miss you more than words could ever say, but your legacy lives on. May God bless and keep your family, and may he always shine his light on your children.

Mr. Chad "Pimp C" Butler was more than just a rapper he was one of the fore fathers of Texas rap, Hip Hop and R&B. Being Trill to me meant i had to be the best of the best at anything i did, i remember when i got booted out of the house by my stepmother at 18 and all i had was my clothes, car and about 4 or 5 UGK cd's i survived being homeless for 11 months in South Side South West Houston because i had the music with the right motivation to give you that little push to make it. I will sure miss Pimp and wish the best for his family, shout out to DJ Screw, Fat Pat, Big Mello, Big Hawk, Big Moe and the whole SUC family.

For Chad...one-half of the veteran Houston rap group UGK. At 33 years
old...you left us far too soon.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

I didnt know you at all Pimp C. but I knew of you through your music. Im late on leaving this but I miss you a LOT and it sucks you had to leave this Earth so early. The night before I found out you had passed I was just listening to the CD you came out with after you touched down from prison and I was saying to myself, "when he gone come out with another CD?" And I laughed and the next day I knew I'd never hear another album from you. UGK wont be the same without you. I love you and I miss you. You are gone but NEVER forgotten boo. MWAH! From a fan...
