Deshaun Holton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 11, 2006.
DETROIT (AP) -- Proof, a member of rap group D12 and a close friend of Eminem, was shot to death early Tuesday at a nightclub along Eight Mile, the road made famous by the 2002 film that starred Eminem and in which Proof had a bit part.

Proof, whose real name is Deshaun Holton, was one of two people shot in the head after an argument escalated into gunfire, said Detroit police spokesman James Tate.

The other person - a 35-year-old man - was critically wounded, Tate said. Plans for a memorial service were incomplete, said Dennis Dennehy, publicist for D12's label, Interscope Records.

"His friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time," Dennehy said in a statement.

D12, whose members include Eminem, has been around since the mid-1990s, when members of the rap group met at Detroit's Hip-Hop Shop, a clothing store by day and a hip-hop club by night.

Proof was the best man at Eminem's wedding in January and often appeared alongside the superstar rapper at concerts and public appearances.

The two men were shot inside the C.C.C. nightclub, a small bar in a strip of businesses along Eight Mile, which divides Detroit and its northern suburbs, Tate said.

Wende Berry, a spokeswoman for St. John Health System, said Holton was dead on arrival at St. John Conner Creek, an outpatient treatment facility.

In December, another member of Eminem's inner circle - rapper Obie Trice - was shot while driving on a Detroit-area highway.

Did I ever tell you how your smile brightens up my day? Your presence excites my heart with every breath I take. Each time your eyes met mine even if its just a glance you sent this sensation up my spine making my soul wanna dance. But all my vision of you and me are things you can never see. All my hopes of what could be are nothing but a dream. Though it kills me deep inside that you'll never know just what I hide. My dreams for us are something I could never let go. If I had one last try, just one last chance maybe next time you'll understand every night before I slip into bed your image is all that fills my head. I lie here thinking of the day we met along with all the memories I could never forget. Tears swell up in my eyes because you could never be mine. It hurts inside as I dream of you because your'e not there to think of me too. All my vision of you and me are things you can never see. All my hopes of what could be are nothing but a dream. Though my heart is broken I still can't let go, holding tightly to a glimmer of hope. If I had just one last try, just one last chance, maybe next time you;ll understand..........

My heartfelt condolences to Proofs family and friends. I saw him performing with Eminem on the last Anger Management Tour and was absolutely blown away by them both. Proof was an amazing talent, and it was obvious how funny, kind and special he was. I am gutted that he has gone, as he was the heart of D12 to me, and he will be missed as an artist and as a person. Thank you to Eminem for helping bring him to our attention and letting us all enjoy his talent. Thank you to his family for raising a beautiful person, whose memory will live on. Thank you to his friends for having his back all those years. God bless him and all those who loved him. Let his words and his beliefs live on, and he will never be forgotten.My love to you all.xxxxxx

MANY PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THE EFFECT YOU HAD ON THEM TILL YOU'RE GONE. I KNOW FAMILY WAS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU, IT HAD A LOT WITH HOW YOU HAD DID THINGS BEFORE. YOU LOOKED OUT FOR YOUR FRIENDS AS WELL ALWAYS UPLIFTING THEM TO A HIGHER LEVEL. EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN GONE FOR A FEW MONTHS, YOU STILL HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH WHAT GOES ON TODAY. MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE CLOSEST TO YOU WANT TO FINISH THE PROJECTS YOU STARTED BEFORE YOUR PASSING.SO I HOPE THOSE THINGS WILL GET DONE FOR SURE. ONE LOVE PEACE

GHOSTWRITER

July 11, 2006

YOU HAVE TRULY GOOD FRIENDS AND FAMILY, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF YOUR BOY SLIM SHADY, FOR REPRESENTING YOU DURING THE BET AWARDS. DURING HIS PERFORMANCE WITH BUSTA RHYMES, JUST AS HE HAD LOST A FRIEND THEY BOTH REMEMBERED THEIR FRIENDS AND THE CAUSE AND EFFECT, YOU STILL HAVE ON THEM TODAY. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME EITHER HAD SPOKEN ON THERE TRUE FRIENDS. WHEN WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT CLOSE TO US, IT IS HARD TO MOVE ON.THEY UNDERSTOOD US IN WAYS NOBODY ELSE COULD.SO NOW YOU CAN DEFINITELY LOOK OUT FOR ALL OF DETROIT, YOU CAN ALSO BE A GUIDE FOR YOUR FAMILY IN HIP-HOP AS WELL.CAUSE HAVING HUMOR AND ALSO HAVING FUN, IS SO IMPORTANT IN LIFE TODAY.WE OFTEN TAKE LIFE TO SERIOUSLY,AND DO NOT ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES UNTIL THERE GONE.ONE LOVE PEACE.

~*~*~*~ FOREVER LOVED AND MISSED BY ALL YOUR FRIENDS FAMILY AND FANS....~*~*~*~

Khourtney

July 3, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Rest in peace my friend, I will see you again one day. I will miss you always.

I have been avoiding this, I cant accept what I know is true, I cant even say it. I miss you, there are so many things that remind me of you, Spongebob, Kangol Hats, Music in General. I seen the back of someone who dressed like you, I walked faster so I could see the front of him, I knew it wasn't you, but for some reason I needed to check. I imagined it was you and imagined what I would say to you if I got a chance to say goodbye for the last time and my mind went blank, I pictured my last goodbye scilent, over a game of pool, & I let you win. lol, I love you Proof your my "Twin Brother" something's missing,... it's you!



To the family and Friends of Deshaun D Holton my thoughts and prayers are with you all.



God Bless,
