I just wanted to acknowledge Mr Shakir Stewart's birthday, Sunday April 12th. Rest in Peace

I have to be honest, I never heard of Mr. Shakir Stewart until Nov 2, 2008. It wasn't until this tragedy occurred that most of the world learned of this young, ambitious, driven, intelligent brother. The barrage of news reports left me wanting to know as much as I could about this young man. I have read some of the kindest words about Mr. Stewart and how inspiring he was to those around him, which makes it very sad for his short life to end this way. From everything I've read, he was a genuinely good and respectable guy. I send prayers for all who loved Shakir and seek strength and closure. May God bring peace to his family and friends.

To the family of Shakir May you find strength and peace during this time and always. Shakir and our son attended St. Mary's in Berkeley, California, and graduated together. Our son spoke so highly of Shakir, his drive, his intelligence, his respect for others, his determination. We knew, even as the boys were becoming men, that Shakir would be a fine man, good father and devoted husband. Our sincere condolences to Kenneth, Porsche and Deborah. Ricci and Karen Jones.

I also agree with Betty. This is our opportunity to express our deepest sympathy and saddness to the family. It is not a time to discuss or display negative attitudes. This is a time for understanding and healing as we will never know the pain an individual goes through. We all hope that he is in a "better place", however it is not up to us to determine. It is up to our creator. At this time I send my sympathy to the family, and I too hope that he is in a better place.

its funny how you can meet a person and get inspired, in a positive way and immediately start materializing Big plans. Well thats what Shakir did for me and i must say only someone Devine and Positive can do such. I meet shakir informally matter a fact i just spoke with him the afternoon of J.Dupri's all white affair at a tailor we both shared and Congratulated him on the new Position and let him know that i was proud of him and looked forward to doing some work with him, he looked baffled by being told this by a stranger nevertheless he was very cordial and we spoke for a few minutes not knowing we shared allot of the same acquaintances, all i have to say is Shakir you was a Positive shining Beacon and a good example of a successful Black Man, something our youth need so desperately to see more of ....Peace and love to your Family my Brother wish you were still here.

Man on Man! Shakey Jake, I am really going through it right now trying to figure out what and why? But I do know the only one that has the answer is GOD. I want to go down memory lane when we worked at Hitco Music Publishing..You, Shari (Truth Hurts) and I had a HUGE water fight in the office..it started off bottle of water that you said you were going to throw if I didn't give you a disk you were asking for. we dared you to throw it & you did with no shame. It became a big disaster!! The moment you fell on your ass we laughed so hard & went into La Ronda's office where we thought everything was safe because we just knew YOU WEREN'T BOLD ENOUGH TO THROW WATER IN LS's office (La Ronda Sutton) .. but we were wrong. You came in with a big bucket of water .. threw it all over the place!! I must say you were a very daring person but never thought you were daring enough to take your life. I am going to miss you so much Shake! Your children, Michelle, Your family, and all of the Industry will miss you! I am glad that I was able to see you shine! Love your friend for life!

So many times we find it hard to understand why life takes such a twisted turn. I pray that the family knows that Shakir is in a better place. I hope they find strength and peace in knowing that though we had Shakir for a short time on earth, he was able to fulfull his dream and help so many others. Know that our prayers are with his blood family and his music family. Be strong and we love you!

Betty that was a warming message that you left for the Shakir's Family; however he is not in a better place for killing himself. I'm not sure what your Religious beliefs are but it CLEARLY states in the BIBLE that the only SIN GOD will noy forgive you for is KILLING YOURSELF!!! So actually he is Not in a better place a has gone to a much Worser place.

I have to agree with the writer XOX. Betty, it's not that we are passing our own judgement on the brother we are just stating the facts. It's not our word it's God's word. Check it out for yourself in the good book chapter of Mark 3:29 it clearly states " But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: What does that mean well he will burn in the lake of fire forever.

It is unfortunate for another influential brother lost to life's struggle. In the eve of history, we did not need to have this for our kids and families to hear of such a tragedy. I pray that the Stewart family knows he is in a better place and beleive that everything that happens, is for a better purpose. Let us all learn from this and talk to our brothers and sisters with guinuine feelings so that we can reach another before it is too late. PEACE AND LOVE, Demetrius Kinsler Hip- Hop Lifer

i mean no one will ever no why you really did what you did; but there's tons of people all across america not to mention the world that has life and death threatening problems... hiv, aids, death row to name a few and they keep on trucking... different strokes for different folks i guess. well im not gonna say to much against your decision that may hurt your family when they read these post; you did enough damage to them no one else needs to go any further; however i will say to the rest of the readers (parents) who may be facing problems; don't be selfish your problems can and will become bigger problems to you're loved ones with your loss, stick it out bring it to your HIGHER POWER. Hurting yourself will be double hurt for your loved ones. think of all the rest of the people that will hurt as result of this decision.

My heart really ached for you today Shakir. I just saw you a few months ago at Diddy's Walk of Fame Celebration, and I actually said I was gonna call you the day before I heard this tragic news because I moved to LA and knew you were one of the only true honest industry allies I had from Atlanta. It's so ironic. But most importantly, I know that whatever the case, you must be resting in the arms of God right now where I know you'll find the peace you sought. You were an honor to know, an inspiration to so many like me, and I've always had the utmost respect for you. I wish nothing but peace and blessings for your family and close friends and hope that we all learn to truly value each other a little more each day, since tomorrow is not promised. Rest in Peace, My Friend. Your legacy will not be forgotten. Always, Poprah (aka Tempest)
