    J DILLA

    February 7, 1974 - February 10, 2006

    ---

    It is with great sorrow that the Family and Friends of J Dilla announces his spiritual transition on the morning of February 10th, 2006 in the loving arms of his mother, Maureen Yancey.

    J Dilla had suffered for over three years with an incurable blood disease, and had also been diagnosed with lupus.

    ---

    Mrs. Yancey relocated to Los Angeles in order to care for her son J Dilla during his lengthy illness. On behalf of Mrs. Yancey we ask that in lieu of flowers, any heartfelt donations be made payable and sent to a fund which has been established in her name:

    Made Payable to Mrs. Maureen Yancey

    Donations can be mailed to:

    Maureen Yancey
    132 N. Sycamore Avenue
    Los Angeles, CA 90036

    Bank Wires can be sent to:

    Wells Fargo Bank of Los Angeles, CA
    Routing Number: 122000247
    Account Number: 6043250676
    1-800-869-3557

    Please note that donations made to Mrs. Yancey are not considered a charitable deduction. This will be considered a gift of help.

    J Dilla leaves behind a body of work which will be loved and rediscovered for years to come. His most recent album "Donuts" on February 7th, the day of his 32nd birthday. Two other projects, "The Shining" and "Jay Love Japan" are completed. Other production work has been completed for artists Madlib, Busta Rhymes, Ghostface Killah, A.G., Visionaries, Truth Hurts, Phat Kat, MF DOOM, Skillz, and Frank N Dank.
