Today is a very sad day. Hearing the news of the sudden passing of Heavy reminds us that every second is precouis. The memory that sticks out in my mind is an interview he did a few years back. Heavy lost his brother suddenly. His brother had become saved ,and the day after his brother passes he woke up in the morning and saw a reflection of a cross on the wall.  This is why we have to keep everyone in prayer. No matter what backround or your differences. Everyone needs love.

Heavy’s last tweet was Be Inspired!

Rapper Heavy D collapsed in his Beverly Hills home Tuesday morning and died a short time later at a Los Angeles hospital, according to police and the coroner. He was 44.

Heavy D, whose real name is Dwight Arrington Myers, was found unconscious with difficulty breathing at his home after police were called there at 11:25 a.m., Beverly Hills Police spokesman Mark Rosen said.

He was pronounced dead in the emergency room at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s operations chief Craig Harvey. The cause of death has not been determined, Harvey said.

While his hip-hop recording career began in 1987 with his group Heavy D & the Boyz, his breakthrough hit came in 1991 with a remake of the O’Jays’ “Now That We Found Love.”

Heavy D’s rapping was featured on Janet Jackson’s 1990 hit “Alright.”

He rapped on Michael Jackson’s 1991 hit “Jam,” which he performed at last month’s Michael Jackson tribute show in Cardiff, Wales.
