Former president Barack Obama even sent a letter to be read during the service while Kendrick Lamar and Jigga penned words of encouragement for the program that was shared with the tens of thousands of mourning fans in attendance.
“He was the strongest man that I ever knew. A gentle father, a patient leader, a divine light. He was brilliant. He researched everything, completely self-taught, constantly seeking knowledge,” said Nipsey’s longtime girlfriend Lauren London during her emotional eulogy to “the love of her life.”
Speaking of their 2-year-old son Kross, London noted: “My pain is from a 2-year-old that probably won’t remember how much his dad loved him.”
