Online Memorial for Gian, aka Prof1t
My nephew (of my heart) Gian passed away this week in a tragic drowning accident. He was seventeen. This is a recent photo of Gian and my god daughter, Trinidy.
The last blog post he left on his myspace page commented on a blog post I made a while back applauding his use of a ringtone widget. Off and on through my work day, I’ve gone back to the entry.
I am concerned that his MySpace page might be deleted or expire, so I am compiling some of the comments left for him in this post. I have also created a screen cap of his last blog entry and have saved it here.
…I am going to share the first memory I have of Gian. He had to be six or seven years old. At the time, his brother Tony and Tony’s wife (my best friend) Rose went to the same high school with me. After school one day a bunch of kids tried to jump us (those were the days). We were very much outnumbered. I had darted into the street and flagged down the police but they were no help (big surprise). At a certain point, Tony’s mom and stepdad came to get us. They were with Gian. I remember how tense everyone was in the car over the situation. I am sure the parents were upset for various reasons, and we were all silent – except Gian. He was a kid being a kid. He kept chanting “Go Speed Racer, Go!!!!” over and over because the car was going so fast. He was naturally oblivious to the danger or difficulty of what was going on, filled with joy over the simple pleasure of a car going fast. I remember, even then, thinking he had a lot of spirit and was pretty fearless for such a little guy.

Damn…
That’s all I can say…
That’s the only word I can think of…
There’s nothing I can say or do to offset this feeling…
I was praying to God that it was a joke when Jay told me…
Even after my last post I seen someone saying R.I.P but I didn’t want to believe it…
So I clicked off and left it at that…
I’m not going to say goodbye… Because this is far from it… I told you that I had you til the end… I told you that you were blood no matter what… I told you I wouldn’t let anything happen to you…
I failed you lil bro… Now there’s no turning back… It’s my fault… So in order to make it right you have to live on through the fam, through me, through a legacy that you started and that I will finish… Jay asked me… “Why does God always take our Fam?”… Prof1t that’s a question I want you to ask God when you see him… We are the last of a dying breed… I’ll do my part… Jay will do his part… The Fam will always hold you down… You were right Prof1t… “You Are Above The Rest”
I Love You and I’ll Never Forget You…

I’ll Always Love You Lil Bro…
I’ll never forget you and I’ll make sure of that… I’ll never let you be forgotten… We’ll finish what you started…
I remember going out to the movies or hanging out with my cousin and hed always be able to make me laugh no matter what, we could make fun of anything and everyone and not get tired. Gian was an incredible person with so much potential…
I learned today a friend of my kids died. He was only 17 yrs old. He had the world in front of him for the taking. I would like to give my condulances to his family and all his friends who ARE many. Yes he will be missed. But his memory will live in each and everyone of you. You will hear his music and smile or even cry but you will remember. Never let it go, and do not be ashamed to cry. God pulled his number way too soon, he was just getting started. I only knew him from times he came to my home, yet this is affecting me, I guess because he was soooo young.
To all of you please becareful in what ever you do. Take time and enjoy life
and your friends pick up the phone or get in the car and drive over just to say hey what’s up. they may not be there tomorrow.
God bless Prof1t
Mrs. Roberts

Mi primito lindo. I can’t believe this happened toyou. When i heard the news, I couldn’t believe it. Why you, I aske myself that question over and over. Such a talented young man. You were always there to give me a lift when I was down on myspace… hahaha! I loved talking shit with you. I love you sooooo much and I will miss our late night talks. Hey do you remember when you told me you would buy me an LV purse when you made it B.I.G. LOL! Te quiero and my heart goes out to my cousin Charito and the fam!

man he wil be miss so much
he was love bye alot of people he wil be miss so much
DAMN G CANT BELIEVE YOUR GONE BUT I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PEACE OF YOU WITH ME UNTIL I DIE… YOUR COUSIN T1NO AKA ATAK KBC RIP GIAN.
G was full of life! He made everybody he new laugh all day. There’s not a day that passes he’s not remembered. His friends and family feel an emptiness everyday!
It is amazing how fragile we are. One day we’re here and the next, we can only hope. But, those of us still here suffer so much everyday when the ones we love leave us.
I pray that G is in a better place and that the life that was just really taking off, starts again but better. It is unreal not living with G in our world.
Gians music will be distributed next year at Wal-mart and other stores.
Prof1t “The Last Man Standing”
Gian was a complete artist; (he drew, wrote poetry, wrote music, & much more.)
The family will publish all his work next year.

man G… why?? just ask him, why.. it’s okay though because you’re finally with your mom. you’ll always be remembered and never be forgotten. remeber that, because i’m going to keep you alive till my time comes man. it’s okay though man. just like you always told me… keep my head up and move on. you’ll be looking down when i graduate college and get into my career and b amazed that your boy really did make it.. i miss you man. much love. jr.
Dont know if the OP of this page still checks this but the other night me and my girl were driving to Orlando after picking me up and she had grabbed a couple of my mix cd’s a couple nights before and we were fighting but she called and was like Is this one of Profits songs? Sure enough she grabs a cd out of the millions of mix cd’s with no names on them that has the one Profit song on it that No Joke, I swear on anything, was my idea that I ran by G awhile back and was supposed to be on it but he did his verse and I was stupidly lazy and never did mine. That was prolly my biggest regret in my life. To just have one song with Profit before he went would of been the greatest thing I could of asked for. I regret so much for being lazy and slacking off when I could of been on a track with him. Before P died, he made me co leader of ATR and sadly I put it to rest with him, cause it’s not the same with out him and he wanted it to blow up. But he knows my situation and my plans. I remember him everyday cause his names tatted right there on my arm where I can see it no matter what.
And if anyone knows how to get ahold of his album it would be much appreciated.
And it was really weird seeing a post from me on here cause I changed my myspace so many times after he passed there was no way of ever posting on his page except messages, but seeing this was a good feeling so thank you for posting this on here.
A.T.R
Still reppin till this day
Aint nothing change
One day you’ll get what you wanted G, I still remember “Your” plans and I got you. Trust me..
Watch over us, the ATR family, my wife, my son and all the other 2nd generation ATR soldiers homie
We love and miss you each day
