*The music world mourns yet again as legendary soul singer Eddie Levert, co-frontman of the iconic R&B group The O’Jays, faces another unimaginable loss with the passing of his daughter, Ryan LeVert, at the tender age of 22.
According to RnB Talk Show, Ryan bravely battled lupus, an autoimmune disease that wreaks havoc on the body’s immune system, leading to widespread inflammation and damage to organs and tissues.
Ryan’s untimely departure is a shock to the LeVert family, who have long been cherished for their contributions to the music industry and enduring legacy.
Eddie Levert has known profound heartache before, having lost two sons, Gerald and Sean, both of whom were also involved in music. Gerald passed away in 2006 at just 40 years old, while Sean died in 2008 at 39.
The toll of these losses weighs heavy on a father who has poured his heart into a career celebrating love, joy, and the power of music.
Lupus is a complex and chronic condition that affects individuals in various ways, with symptoms ranging from skin rashes to debilitating joint pain, and can even lead to serious complications in organs such as the kidneys and heart.
The journey of managing lupus is often fraught with challenges, making Ryan’s fight all the more inspiring to those who knew her.
As the family grieves the loss of their beloved daughter and sister, a wave of condolences and support has flooded social media. Fans and friends are sending their love, offering heartfelt messages of sympathy. One message poignantly stated, “Rest in paradise, Ryan. You will always be loved and missed.” Another echoed the sentiment of loss felt by many, expressing, “Eddie has lost a lot. My condolences and prayers are with the entire LeVert family.”
The LeVert family has brought a significant amount of joy and musical talent to the world, but they now face the weight of grief as they honor Ryan’s memory. The O’Jays, known for their immense influence on R&B and soul music, have touched countless lives over their illustrious career and are now in need of support as they navigate this difficult moment.
As we reflect on Ryan’s life and the struggles faced by those with lupus, it is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of community support during times of sorrow.
In this time of mourning, we extend our deepest thoughts and prayers to Eddie Levert, his wife Raquel Capelton, and their daughter Kandice, along with all those affected by this tragic loss.
May Ryan’s spirit live on in our memories and hearts, as she joins her late brothers and continues to inspire those who knew her fight.
