The funeral services for Kimberle Johnson and Glen “Doe B” Thomas took place on Saturday, Jan. 4.  Both services were held at True Divine Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.

 

The families and friends of both victims were lined up to pay their last respects. Many fans of rapper Doe B were there as well as his Grand Hustle family. After his mother, Doe B’s manager, Frank White, and mentor T.I. spent a moment to speak about their friend.  In T.I.’s eulogy, he talked about his first time meeting Doe B and how surprised he was of his maturity level. T.I. also took the time to promise Doe B’s family and fans that his music and legacy will live on.

 

“It’s very rare that you find somebody at the age of 20 or 21 and you could walk them into a room with a Nelly, or you could walk them into a rom with a Timbaland or Jay Z, and they not lose their cool, they’re composed, postured, with the morals, standards, and the principles that were instilled in him from his family, his mom, his dad, grandmama, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles… I will never let his life be lived in vain. All of my resources, all of my relationships, all of my efforts, all of my energy will be put forth to make sure that his dream lives on.”

 

T.I. also took a moment to shine light on Doe B’s work ethic.

 

“Over here at Hustle Gang, we have a host of artists. All of them know that I tell them ‘listen, your talent is only going to get you so far’. It’s the things that you learn, the things that you are able to do outside of the booth that will separate you from the rest. I said the same thing to Glen. He never left the studio… he said ‘I’d rather be here than the club, because I know this is going to pay off.”

 

A third victim passed away over the weekend after being hospitalized since the incident. 20 year old, Tim Hamilton, were too an innocent bystander who’s death is now added charges of the two assailants.  Jason McWilliams and Darius Thomas, both are charged with three counts of capital murder.
