I’ve seen how it can tear someone apart, and how suicide then tears up loved ones left behind….
Anyways, here is a statement from KRS-One’s spokesperson on the death of his son.
” Randy Hubbard Parker, son of Simone G. Parker and Rap Legend KRS-ONE found dead in Atlanta apartment.
(July 10th 2007) After a long battle with depression, Randy Hubbard Parker, son of Simone G. Parker was found dead in his Atlanta apartment this past weekend. The Fulton County Atlanta Medical Center lists the cause of death as a suicide. Simone G. Parker, wife of Rap legend KRS-One cites “severe depression” as the motivating cause for Randy’s sudden death. He was 23.
Randy Parker was born at Elmhurst hospital on July 18th 1983 in Queens New York. Randy, a graphic designer and fashion entrepreneur, was seeking employment in the Atlanta area of Georgia. A private memorial service will be held in Florida on July 18, 2007 (Randy’s 24th Birthday). Plans for an August memorial service in New York are underway. KRS-One and Simone Parker sends their sincere appreciation to everyone who has already responded to the tragic news.

depression really is a sickness. it’s more than just feeling sad. it is physically and emotionally painful and stifling. people throw around the word loosely, but it is a really deep topic. if u r depressed, seek help and get some medication to avoid this from happening to you. for some, medication is the only thing that can help
