Sean Levert passes away at age 39

Eddie Levert, Lead Singer of the famed O’Jays and father to the Late Great Gerald Levert has lost another son. Sean Levert(age 39) died in an Ohio jail early this morning.

According to the News Week:

Levert was sentenced last week to one year and 10 months in jail for failing to pay $89,025 in child support. He died at Lutheran Hospital in Cleveland late Sunday, less than an hour after he was taken there from the jail, said coroner Frank Miller.

Levert was sentenced by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo, who said a presentence report indicated he had been addicted to marijuana from the time he was 14 until recently. He didn’t speak at his sentencing and gave no indication of any health problems, the judge said Monday.

According to other reports, Sean Levert was found dead in his jail cell. No other details in regards to the cause of his death have been revealed…

So this fool still aint gotta pay the piper for not paying his child support?!? Let this be an example. Sad story, no one deserves death, but maybe those ill wishes from his ex came true. Sometimes saying “I wish you’d die” can actually occur…Let this be a lesson: Take care of your children or die like a n*gga!

This is really heartbreaking……. I’m sure there were some other underlining problems than the fact that he was stressed about not having paid child support that caused his death. My heart too goes out to the Levert family ’cause I know that they weren’t expecting this so soon after Gerald.

This situation should be an eye opener for many fathers who baby mothers has yet to file a childs support of order. No matter what finacial stages you are in life the CSP system demand funds or grant a warrant for an arrest. Did this arrest prove Sean levert never provided any funds or care for his children, no. It only indicates he had to pay for 18 years of services provide by the Ohio Public Assistance Program for his babies mother. This situation is an unexpected loss for the Levert family. I will pray for his wife, kids, silblings, and parents who just buried his brother 16 months ago.

People die everyday & no one’s death is more important than that of the next. Nonetheless, like I stated before, no one deserves death… I stand behind my comment because it’s my honest opinion. No one owes me child support, I have no children & have no financial distress. It’s almost interesting that I was called names, had my character attacked & had assumptions made about me all because I didn’t focus on the popular opinion. & furthermore what my race is has no bearing in my opinion. If you want to be outraged about my lack of instant sensitivity… fine. But I feel like the cheated children and all the other children affected by state that the black community is in just happens to weigh on me more.
