“Kings lose crowns while Teachers stay intelligent” - KRS 1
You were truly a teacher at heart to the generation behind you. Will miss the powerful builds we had. I learned a lot from you my brother. From the days of basketball recreation at the Bangs Avenue School where your pops worked, to the times of you dunking me at the New Pool, to the day of you convincing me to rock #21 on my middle school basketball team, to the words of wisdom in the AP high school hallways when you were a janitor, to the Lincoln Village flag pole talks with us DBBs, to the music sessions at your blue Jeep, to the inspiration to work with the youth of AP, to the times coaching our sons in Pop Warner and AP Rec basketball, to the Cowboys and North Carolina games, to the text film sessions on my grandsons b-ball games, to the times spent with the Smith family. Will miss you without a doubt Lord. Peace

Lord Ice was great brother that never took the relationships he built for granted. He was a light during dark times and always showed me Supreme Love! Our bond will never be broken, even through his transition! Love is Love! I will truly miss his physical presence! I know he would want me to say “Go Cowboys and Blue Bishops for Life”. Peace Beloved. Rest in Power!
