Their heartfelt words painted a picture of a man who was not just a performer but a devoted father and a source of joy at home.
“Dad, you were a hero even before holding that microphone. You have been the man who held our hands, wiped our tears, and made us laugh. When we saw you on the stage, we saw another side of you. You are a gift, not just a gift of music but of making people feel alive. To the world, you were an entertainer; to us, you were home. You taught us that life is not just about surviving but living. You taught us that a man’s legacy is the lives he touched. We will miss your voice, your laughter, and even how you would turn an ordinary day into a celebration. Rest now, Dad. The stage is quiet, but the music plays on in our hearts forever," Michael said.
Fullstop tragically passed away on Friday, August 1, after being admitted to the hospital for about a week.
