New Heavy D Memorial Website Created, Public Wake This Thursday
Fans of the late rapper Dwight \"Heavy D\" Myers can now pay their respects online and in person. A memorial website has been set up in his honor at rememberheavyd.com, where visitors can find information about his life, career, and legacy. The site also includes details on how to donate to the Heavy D and Xea Myers Fund, which has been established in support of Heavy D's daughter.
A public wake will be held in Mt. Vernon, New York on Thursday, Nov. 17, from noon until 6:00 p.m. at Grace Baptist Church. A funeral for the Jamaica-born, Queens-raised musician-turned-actor is scheduled for the following day, Nov. 18, also at the Grace Baptist Church. P. Diddy and Rev. Al Sharpton are expected to speak at the service.
Heavy D died unexpectedly on Tuesday, Nov. 8 outside of his Beverly Hills home at the age of 44. An autopsy proved to be inconclusive with toxicology results pending. Reports cited that Heavy D was experiencing difficulty breathing and collapsed. It could be several weeks before the cause of death is revealed.
Heavy D was best known as the leader of the hip-hop group Heavy D & the Boyz, which had hits such as \"Now That We Found Love\" and \"The Overweight Lover's in the House\". He also had a successful solo career and appeared in movies and TV shows such as The Cider House Rules and Boston Public. He performed at the BET Hip Hop Awards in October, his first live performance in 15 years.
His family released a statement saying: \"Hev had great love for his family and friends; he was a kind and giving spirit who extended and shared himself with everyone who crossed his path. He had a heart of gold, was approachable, very personable and gave of himself willingly and unconditionally. Though Hev will most notably be remembered for his work both behind-the-scenes and in the forefront, he will always be remembered by us as a generous soul who remained humble and unselfish till his final days.\"

Heavy D's death has sparked an outpouring of tributes from his fans and fellow celebrities. Many remembered him for his upbeat personality, his catchphrase \"boom\", and his love for music and football.
His former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lewis Bloor said on Twitter: \"I cant believe what Iâm hearing. Heavy D was a special man. Rest in peace brother. #RIPHeavyD\".
Comedian and actor Ricky Grover wrote: \"RIP Heavy D. A funny, kind and genuine man.\"
TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal tweeted: \"Shocked to hear the news about Heavy D. Really hope itâs not true. Big love to his family and friends at this awful time.\"
Heavy D's last social media post was on November 14, when he tweeted: \"Iâm alive!\". He had reportedly withdrawn from social media in the weeks before his death.
The cause of his death is still unknown. His brother Patrick Newell told MailOnline that he had not seen him for two weeks and that he was \"in shock\".
He said: \"He was a larger than life character and I loved him dearly. I spoke to him about 10 days ago and he was telling me how heâd lost a lot of weight and was feeling good about himself.\"
