   I’ve been thinking about this the whole day..ever since they told me you passed, I’ve had a few weird moments realizing it hasn’t been too long we’ve still spoken..You were a good guy, good head on your shoulders, young entrepreneur..always looking for some business moves to make, steps to take..I liked that about you. Ambitious , creative, driven..Very cool cat..Very cool..Q.
   I know you’ll be missed by so many, and it’s been so many years we’ve known you, it’s just unbelievable that you are now gone..It always does hurt the most, when you realize how little time you got to spend with some of the coolest folks , but by that time, it just happens that they’re gone, moved, disappeared for one reason or another…I have so much faith you’re in a better place now, Q…You touched all of us, who are here mourning and hoping for the moments of sadness and pain to pass.

   Rest in Peace, big homie

   I met Q what had to be some 4 years or so now. It seems so long ago, it feels like maybe longer. When I first met him, he was this loud and wild Brooklyn dude lol. And me from the Bronx, I thought mannn this guy.

   But we jelled instantly, he was still loud and wild, but he was the funniest dude I’d come across at the time. We did a lot of business together, i help him on projects, and he helped me. I referred him people and the same from him. When I launched G Style Magazine, he support what I was trying to do, even joined the staff and contributed in our music area. And i supported him in all his projects. From advise to him sending me graphics at some 2 in the morning asking what I thought about it, if it was hot or not (mann I remember those days lol).

   When he said he wanted to do this campaign thing for brooklyn, I was right there, gave him the web resources he need for no cost, just off the love I had for him. Off the strength that I believed in what he wanted to do. When he needed a photoshoot I was there, it was nothing, but a call. He had me in BK, Jerz, all over, damn near scarying the hell out of me with his driving lol, but it was the most fun ever!

   My only regret is not getting the chance to spend as much time with him as i would of like, we were both business men, both on a path to success, which at times meant our schedules were very busy. I wish now I just did the extra shoot or spend more time when I had the chance. I wish I got the chance to ask him if he would be a Groomsmen at my Wedding! You will be a honorary one though man, believe that.

   Well keep pushing QDESIGNZ & Co. up there more, keep pushing, and we’ll chill again brother, we’ll chill again!

   Its been something like 6/7 years since I first interacted with Q. Right off the bat he was one of the most sociable & down to earth guys i have EVER met. As time went on we became great friends…and today I can say he was like fam.
   If he had a problem he’d call at 3am for advice and if i had an issue day or night Q was ready and willing to give me the best advice he could. He didnt care if he had a rough day. He didnt care if he was working on something…HE WAS AT FULL ATTENTION NO MATTER WHAT. There arent many people out there that are true friends. Q was selfless.
   I keep trying to make myself stop crying…Im trying to be thankful for those wonderful years god gave us together. Q got me into graphics…he’d hit me up, ask my opinions on his work cuz he knew i’d tell him like it was cuz i love him that much.
   “move the star to the left Q”
   “bring the opacity down on the 3rd layer Q”
   “Damn thats fresh Q”
   Watching Q progress with QDESIGNZ made me want to make my own personal goals come true.
   His smile was so infectious. How could anyone be sad with Q around to crack a joke.
   I just watched the first vid and smiled. Q and his sidekick…
   Before i got my first kick…Q was on me “Yo Von, UPGRADE…get a kick girl” I def got my kick and we went tmail crazy for the last 2 years *smile*

   Verse thanks for the vids.

   Q you will always be in my heart. I love you so much for everything you have shown me through the years. Thank you for protecting me when i was alone and down. Thank you for supporting my dreams. I know you be at the sides of all the people who loved you each day. Today at ur funeral it was so beautiful to see how many lives you touched. I’ll never forget you Qboo….NEVER!

   I’m still in shock..

   i remember when we first met on the board and how easily we clicked.. i knew i could call you at any time of night & you’d answer just to talk about nothing lol.. i was shockd when we found out we shared a mutual friend.. talk about a small world.. you pushed me when i need help with graphics.. you let me into your world.. we haven’t spoken much over the past few months really [my fault] but even when i randomly hit you up, you never got upset at my disappearances.. we stayed cool peoples..

   i know things happen for a reason..and i’m glad i had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person..

   you were one of the few people that i instantly felt comfortable around.. non stop jokes.. i can’t believe you’re gone.. miss you always sweetie =(

   First of all thanks “Verse” for putting these vids up and taking a glimpse of the real Q. I never really met Q, but we talked here and there. Most of all, I knew him through his work. I always admired it. Q I wish I had gotten to know you!
   One day, I’ll see you in heaven, til then take care. God Bless.

   Love,
   Liz
