H eavy D’s family have begun the difficult task of making funeral arrangements for their beloved son, brother, and father. A public viewing and private funeral is set for next week in New York City. Dwight Arrington Myers, known to the world as Heavy D, died in Los Angeles on Tuesday. While reports have surfaced that the rapper visited his doctor with flu-like symptoms, possibly pneumonia, just one day before he died suddenly, it will be a few weeks before the coroner’s office will officially releases a cause of death via toxicology reports.
Heavy’s family has organized a public viewing on Thursday, November 17th — anyone who wants to pay tribute to the hip hop legend is encouraged to attend at the Yannantuono Funeral Home in Mt. Vernon, New York from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Following the public viewing, the next day, a private funeral will be held. The funeral is a “invite only” service to be held at Grace Baptist Church, also in Mt. Vernon. Invited guests of the family is said to include: Queen Latifah, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Will Smith, Mary J. Blige, The Wayans Brothers as well as Eddie Ferrell and Glen Parrish (former members of Heavy D and the Boyz) and others.
