The Sandy Hook school massacre

In 2012, twenty children, aged between six and seven years old, and six teachers were shot d3ad by Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook elementary school.

“I can only hope it helps for you to know that you’re not alone in your grief,” shared an emotional Obama in a speech following the attack.

“We have wept with you, we’ve pulled our children tight.”

Inauguration Ceremony

Barack Obama became upset because he made his farewell speech as US president on Tuesday night in Chicago.

“Of all that I’ve done in my life, I’m most proud to be your dad,” he said.

The loss of his grandmother

Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, passed away from canc3r on November 3 2008 in the last day of his campaign for presidency.

“She has gone home,” he said, before telling crowds her loss was “hard to talk about”.

The funeral of Daniel Inouye

After Inouye’s d3ath, Barack Obama’s career had been inspired by the Asian/American politician because he was born in Hawaii.

“The way he commanded the respect of an entire nation, I think it hinted to me what might be possible in my own life,” Obama said in 2012.

The introduction of new g*n laws in the US

Barack Obama shared about the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre as he introduced new g*n laws in America in January 2016: “Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad,”

In 2015 he told BBC that his failure to pass “common sense g*n laws” in the US was the significant frustration of his presidency.

The Aretha Franklin moment

    Young man who was ghosted because of his cancer passes away days later

    More about his recent posting and causes   CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — The city of Chicago is mourning the untimely passing of Fabo Lamar, a cherished member of the local community who died recently after a battle with cancer. Known for his vibrant personality, resilience, and unwavering positivity, Fabo’s death has left a deep void in the hearts of friends, family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Just days before his passing, Fabo tried to reassure those around him, posting a message that has since taken on a haunting significance: “Just a lil fluid in my lungs guys I promise I’m ok.” It was a typical Fabo gesture—humble, brave, and focused on calming the concerns of others, even as he faced the hardest fight of his life. Despite his optimistic words, Fabo’s condition worsened rapidly. He succumbed to complications related to cancer, a diagnosis he had reportedly kept private from many outside his closest circle. News of his death has rippled across social media and the broader Chicago community, prompting an outpouring of grief, love, and tributes from those who were touched by his life and legacy. A Life Remembered Fabo Lamar was not just a name in the community—he was a presence. Whether through music, community engagement, or simply showing up for friends and neighbors, he made it his mission to lift others up. Those who knew him describe a man with an infectious laugh, an open heart, and a spirit that could light up a room. Born and raised in Chicago, Fabo was deeply rooted in the city’s culture. He embraced its challenges, celebrated its victories, and never stopped believing in its people. He often spoke about overcoming adversity and encouraged younger generations to stay hopeful and grounded, no matter how tough things got. He was also active on social media, using his platform to spread messages of encouragement, humor, and authenticity. His posts often reflected a man who had endured much but continued to smile through it all. His recent message about his health, while brief and seemingly lighthearted, now reveals the depth of his strength and his desire not to burden those he loved. Quiet Battle with Cancer Fabo’s cancer diagnosis was not widely known. Those closest to him have shared that he chose to keep his battle private, not wanting pity or sorrow but instead hoping to live fully for as long as he could. It’s a decision that mirrors his life—quiet strength wrapped in grace and humility. According to close friends, he had been dealing with respiratory complications in recent weeks, which he downplayed to avoid causing alarm. Sadly, those complications proved to be more serious than he let on. His death came as a shock to many who were unaware of the severity of his condition. Outpouring of Tributes Since news of his passing broke, tributes have flooded in from all corners of Chicago and beyond. Social media has become a digital memorial, filled with stories, photos, and heartfelt messages celebrating the impact Fabo had on so many lives. Friends have recalled late-night conversations, spontaneous acts of kindness, and moments when Fabo lifted them out of darkness with nothing more than his words and presence. “He was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back, even if he needed it more than you,” one longtime friend shared. “He never wanted to be the center of attention, but somehow, he always was—because he radiated something real.” Local artists and community leaders have also spoken up, many of whom credit Fabo for mentoring them or giving them the encouragement to pursue their dreams. Candlelight vigils and gatherings are being planned in neighborhoods across Chicago to honor his memory and legacy. Remembering Fabo Lamar Fabo Lamar’s passing is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the strength it takes to live authentically in the face of pain. He leaves behind a legacy not defined by fame or fortune, but by the love he gave, the lives he touched, and the spirit he brought to every room he entered. As the community grieves this loss, there is also a collective sense of gratitude—for the time they had with Fabo, for the memories he created, and for the inspiration he continues to provide. Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced soon, and a GoFundMe or memorial fund may be established to support his family with final expenses and to honor his legacy through community initiatives. Rest in power, Fabo Lamar. Your voice, your spirit, and your light will never be forgotten.
