ILOSM family make some noise if you thought that Gerald and Eddie Levert were the only sons Eddie Levert had. Yeah, we did too, that is until we came across Gerald’s and Sean’s big brother. All these years have passed and he’s managed to slide under the radar, but he has always been a very vital part of his brothers’ and his Pops’ lives. Check him out below…
Meet Gerald & Sean Levert’s Big Brother!
Eddie Levert Sr. never ceases to surprise us, after we reported the shocker that Eddie (75) and his younger wife, Raquel, have a young daughter, whom many never even knew existed, we also learned that there is an Eddie Levert JUNIOR!
Meet Eddie Levert Jr. (pictured above, left with his dad, Eddie Sr.) he’s Eddie’s eldest son and his mother is Joyce Hogan. Little is known about Eddie Jr. because he’s the total opposite of his dad and his two brothers- he doesn’t enjoy the spotlight. What we do know is that he’s been his Pops’ manager for many years though. Eddie Sr. also has an adult daughter named Kandice and a teen daughter.
And there ya’ have it family! Like we always say, we learn something new everyday around here.
Eddie Levert Speaks About His Late Sons
Speaking of Sean and Gerald Levert, their dad, Eddie Levert, to The Pain Dealer, about how his struggles with their passing. Here’s what he revealed:
Eddie Levert on his sons’ untimely passings…
Eddie Levert: “If it wasn’t supposed to be, it wouldn’t have happened. I wish I could tell you that I had a sense of why, but I don’t. I still wonder: Was it something I did? Maybe that’s why I’ve made so many changes in my life, to better myself and try to be a better father, a better husband, a better friend. Maybe that’s the reason why: for me to come to a better place. But I can’t dwell on it. It becomes very emotional for me. It gets to a place where . . . [he pauses and his voice cracks] … I really miss them. It’s just hard. But I can’t get caught up in the fact that it wasn’t supposed to be like this, because it happened. -The PlainDealer
How He Copes…
During his process of grieving, Eddie credits his religious faith with helping him to cope with his heartache:
Via TPD: “I read the Book of Job. He lost everything. I didn’t lose everything. I lost two sons. It’s not trivial. But compared to somebody who lost their whole family — do you understand? — I was left something. God is still great. I kept praying to God, and God kept giving me strength. I had days when I blubbered like a baby, just crying. I still have those moments. But I have a purpose now.”
It’s still hard to believe those two great souls, Sean and Gerald Levert, are no longer here with us, but hopefully their parents and children have found some peace in the beautiful memories they shared with them while here. Rest on Levert brothers…job well done.
