As the anniversary of Mr. Hendrix Jr. approaches I would like to leave a simply post remembering him. We affectionally nick named each other Sister, and Brother. I was Sister, him Brother. I will always miss you and I think about you and the family you left behind just about everyday. I too agree with everyone else who has shared a memory or thought about you, you were definitely loved and was well supported, not only were you loved you were a loving, lovely,person as you see in the picture above with a smile so bright and frequent. I cant hardly recall a memory of you when you werent smiling and clowing. Every time we were together its was a good time. If I could share just a few things I knew about you with the world I would tell them things that werent mentioned in the article, like how hard you worked to pursue your dreams as a musician, how dedicated you were to your passion, how sweet and soft spoken you were, how much comical insight you had, you were quick to see the humorous side to a situation, how talented you were and how willing you were to help others who shared in your passion of music just to name a few. Its sad that your death was senseless thats what makes it hard to accept. That and also the fact that I know you were innocent and the allegations is what most will remember even though they are false. I also hate that Cam has to grow up without you, Im sorry Brother its nothing Sister can do for you this time except keep your legacy alive, keep your memory alive, keep your death not in vain, and keep you dear to my heart. I say I cant help you but in actuality you no longer need help you're in Heaven where all is well. I truely miss you and love you dearly.

REGINALD HENDRIX JR. WAS MY COUSIN. OUR WHOLE FAMILY IS HURT BY THIS. FIRST AND FOR MOST LET ME SET SOMETHING STRAIGHT ABOUT HIM THAT I'VE BEEN READING ALOT ABOUT. NUMBER ONE HE'S NOT A GANG MEMEBER AND NUMBER TWO HE DIDNT ROB ANYONE...HE DIDNT HAVE TO. HE HAD A STRONG AND CARING FAMILY BEHIND HIM THAT WOULD GIVE THE WORLD TO HIM. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT THE LA TIMES CAN PRINT SUCH FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT A PERSON THAT THEY KNOW ABSOULTLY NOTHING ABOUT. IT'S ONE THING PEOPLE FAIL TO RELIZE WHEN A FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH TUFF TIME'S ALL THIS NEGATIVE ENERGY IS SOMETHING WE DON'T NEED..THEY'LL ONLY REALIZE IT ONCE IT HAPPENS TO THEM. HE HAD A SON AND ONE DAY HE’LL READ ALL THIS FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS FATHER…THAT’S NOT FAIR TO HIM OR US…PLEASE HAVE RESPECT FOR OUR WHOLE FAMILY. THANK YOU
