Michael Jackson’s Brother, Tito, is dead
Background:
Tito Jackson was the elder brother
of the late pop superstar Michael Jackson. He was the third of nine children and he died
of an apparent heart attack while he was driving from New Mexico to this
Oklahoma home on Sunday, September 15. He was exactly one month away from his
71st birthday on October 15.
My sincere condolences go to the
Jackson family. This must be particularly painful for Katherine Jackson the beloved
matriarch of the family. Katherine is 94 years old and has already gone through
the profound tragedy and loss of one son. Now, Tito will be the second.
I recollect vividly how Janet
Jackson, her face shielded with dark sunglasses, gently pushed back a lock of
Paris Jackson’s hair as she sobbed and eulogized her father, Michael.
This was during his televised 2009
burial.
It was heartbreaking to watch.
This iconic family has to go through
this again. I honestly hope they find the strength and forbearance to make it through
this challenging and overwhelming time.
