Michael K. Williams, a respected and acclaimed actor who starred in "The Wire," had his funeral on North Front Street in Harrisburg Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021. About 150 family and friends, including co-stars and the creator of "The Wire," and other actors attended the 10 a.m. private service. Williams, 54, died in his home in Brooklyn Sept. 6. His mother lives in Harrisburg and it was his adopted city, as he visited often and participated in numerous charities and events.

When some actors pass you say, "wow too bad" but when a GREAT one passes like Michael K or Chadwick Bozeman you FEEL it in your gut! I felt gut punched when I heard about these 2 fabulous young men leaving us!😢😢

[@lyndajones8330]

Totally in agreement. Well said.

Here's to a fabulous actor, Michael K. Williams! I remember when he portrayed Chalky in the H.B.O. series, Boardwalk Empire. Man, was he something! It's unfortunate that in the end, his drug addiction got the better of him. I would also give him credit for him always being honest about his addiction; talk about courage! Rest in peace Michael, and I hope to meet you in the afterlife.

[@GhostDaddyFly]

Yeah, that was the first time I got to know of him, in Boardwalk Empire which was my series at the time.

[@scottbrowning4553]

@@GhostDaddyFly It would have been very nice to have Michael K. Williams still with us, continuing to act without getting addicted to drugs. However, everybody has frailties. If it's not one frailty, it's another. Anyway, take care, stay safe, and peace out.☺

No matter how successful, big, popular and respected someone becomes, they’re still human, and battle the same issues everyone else does. It’s so overwhelmingly painful when you can’t help someone who needs it. No amount of money or fame, didn’t save those who flew b4 him…and those who fly after. So tragic. Right now, there is someone who needs help that you know, try to help them please!

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family & close friends. My white friends didn't never see what Iv seen in his movie's. I can honestly say he was and still is my favorite black Actor. Nobody even come close to his amazing Acting skills especially in movies like, "Omar" this man was on a different level. Hopefully I'll get to meet him one day on the golden streets of Heaven. I'll never forget brother you are and will always be my favorite actor.
