This Comment of the Day comes from LeeLeeCuz, who wrote in about Levern Butler.

This was my cousin. He alway brought fun and excitement everywhere that he was. He was always known for saying something crazy, and doing crazy things, but he never wanted to hurt anyone. Yeah, everyone has two sides, but he was a real man that was about his son and cared about his mother a lot. He will be missed, and trust me fam, your legacy will live on. You will never be forgotten. Now you're at the go-go where the music never turns off, and you can beat your feet all day without pain or anything. Rest in Peace cuzzo.
