Greetings...This morning around 10 a.m. I was awaken by a startling text that comedian Bernie Mac passed. This information completly shocked and hurt that one of our African AMerican men great talents had passed. Bernie mac was one of my favorite comedians as I've grown throughout my teenage years..
"Comedian and Chicago native Bernie Mac died early Saturday morning from complications due to pneumonia, his publicist confirmed.Mac, 50, had been hospitalized for about a week at Northwestern Hospital, according to his spokeswoman.
A few years ago, Mac disclosed that he suffered from sarcoidosis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissue, most often in the lungs.The comic born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough could cut an imposing figure. He stood 6-foot-3, was built like a fullback and carried himself with a bouncer's reticence. But perhaps the strongest weapon in the Chicago comedian's arsenal was that voice, that amalgam of thought and a delivery that could rise like a tidal wave, outpace a Gatling gun and remained, to his last days, loud and unapologetic."- Chicago Tribune
Bernie Mac has not only blessed the world with his comedic relief but also with his full belief of community service. He was faithful in giving back to the inner cities of Chicago, IL where he was born.
You will be truly missed but your spirit still lives on... God Bless..
