He was a COOL DUDE. I'm gone miss him. I used to call him DV. He used to call me OGBG.

Do any of these folks have life insurance?

[@CarLyfeWithAj]

Look when you grow up in survival mode . Insurance is the last of your worries . Come on now, if you cant chip in, keep your mouth closed and carry on

[@GregLakatosChradm]

@@CarLyfeWithAj How f**** stoopid are you. I have life insurance, EVERYONE gets it with the insurace provided by their employer. When you grow up and finally get a job you'll figure it out. Until then you are just another leftist DA on the internet.

[@Eastpointe]

He had that many kids within her, never married and no basic life insurance policy for himself? SMH!

[@silentmajority8365]

Father of 6 by 5 women lol

[@QuadriviumNumbers]

She isn't raising them ALONE! "He was shot six weeks ago" is hardly enough information but it was just a go fund me advert anyway!

[@ChantelWhitley-rs3uu]

both he and her look like nice people but you must have control over the amount of children you get not every year a another child and so young they don't have contraceptive pills selling or copper t nothing at all women can't use every time you lie down you with child and then something happens you cry and oh to the whole nation to support your kids it's just silly

[@TheAS687]

Where is his life insurance money? Like wtf another way black ppl constantly stay poor why would you not set your family up for a minimum of financial relief in your passing.

[@christinebryant8354]

It’s not just black people that don’t have life insurance I’ve personal known white family that didn’t have it as well smh! I’m black & my Father & Mother always had life insurance & to this day myself & my siblings & our children have life insurance. Globe, liberty, monumental life insurance are great ones to have. Our parents taught us to have your own so you don’t have to ask anybody for anything. Keep life insurance keep your credit in good standing etc… hopefully this will be a lesson learned to have it.

[@ReneMcGARRY]

THIS IS TRAGIC...NOT ABOUT $, ITS ABOUT GRIEF, PLEASE BE THOUGHTFUL IN YOUR COMMENTS

[@marieg3865]

When they ask for 5x the amount of a funeral, it seems self serving and disingenuous. I don't want to donate on this one because of that.

[@user-he5sy4lz7m]

Y'all talk about life insurance but your soul body is all what matters, forget the earthy things

[@TheAS687]

@@ReneMcGARRY tragic or not we’ve all suffered losses this man had 6 kids. The loss of him will be permanent for sure but damn the grief and anger that can and does occur due to financial constraints can be long term. I made my statement due to a common issue within my own community.

[@richardhead3211]

six kidz with how many mothers? was he involved with supporting said kidz? by the looks of him i say not

[@Conscious_CityGirl_DET]

You’re too busy passing judgement, you missed that he has 6 children by two women. IHYSRMF

[@ScentCrave24]

I knew a Ranch Roach would show up with an assumption,it never fails smh

[@QuadriviumNumbers]

@@Conscious_CityGirl_DET "Father of..." should only be used when the father's married. They always say mother of___ died today etc. We all know they are perpetually pregnant with little child support checks!
