On Monday (11.04,) Tito Jackson was laid to rest during a funeral service in Los Angeles.
A former member of the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons, Michael Jackson’s brother passed on September 15 at the age of 70 following a heart attack while on a New Mexico road trip with his business partner Terry Harvey.
On Monday, the famous bass player’s family and friends – including Michael’s daughter Paris, and son Bigi, Tito’s siblings La Toya, and Marlon, as well as his brother Jermaine Jackson’s sons Jaafar, and Jermajesty, and Kimora Lee Simmons – gathered at Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angeles to pay their respects to the deceased singer.
In September, Tito’s sons Taj, Taryll and TJ announced their father’s death, writing:
“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us.” “We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken.”
At the time, Paris paid tribute to her uncle by posting a photo of Tito and her late father, Michael, on her Instagram Stories with the caption, “Rest in transition, Uncle Tito.”
One month after his passing, Tito’s sister Janet Jackson shared a throwback snapshot of her and her brother on social media with the caption “May you rest in eternal peace (praying hands) I miss you so much!”
In addition to his three sons, Tito Jackson is survived by his mother Katherine, 94, and siblings Rebbie, Jackie, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy and Janet. Michael Jackson passed away in 2009 at the age of 50.
