Lil Mike loved sports. He was a huge Cleveland Browns fan. He was also a big Ohio State Buckeyes fan. He was constantly on the go. He lived in Chicago until the winds got to strong, California until the earthquakes shook to much, and south Carolina a state he loved, but Ohio was home.

Sorry for your loss cousins
It was fitting that when I turned my music on this morning that one of your favorite songs “Lady” by The Whispers was coming on I turned it up and immediately thought of you, me and Goldie and the Palm Garden days. Rest In Peace my brother.
We would like to extend our condolences to the family. In times of distress we need comfort that soothes our hearts. May the peace of God guard your hearts. Thinking of you all.
