[@MyrtisTyler-Perry]

Quan was loved tremendously in Atlanta , he was our musical 🎵 hero. His sound was unique and his lyrics were always relatable . All of the success and accomplishment he achieved help make him financially secure, hence RICH HOMIE QUAN. How grateful and proud he must have been to have a father who loved him, protected him and was always there for him ; that made him richer than anything material he owned . My deepest and sincere condolences to Quan’s parents, siblings , children and Amber. I pray our Heavenly Father continues to bless you all with his Grace and Mercy, and provide you the strength you need, wherever you need it . “ Weeping may endure for a night , but JOY comes in the morning “
