Shelly McAdoo wrote on her Facebook account: Today as I celebrate my birth son’s birthday, I grieve over the son in my heart Dontae Anderson-DeBarge. We always said that God brought us together. We searched for you when you were a baby. You found your family at a play in Chicago, as you brazenly and proudly made your way back stage and immediately into the hearts of your father and everyone else’s whose path you crossed. I will miss our check-ins (smoke signals), our fancy dinner dates with Chica Loved DeBarge, watching and listening to you interact with all of your cousins. It was always a comedy show. I will miss your sensitive nature and your beautiful eye lashes, among so much. I thank God that he saw fit for our paths to cross.
She continued: “I love you babe.” That was our last exchange. God knew your heart and knew through it all, you had a heart for him. Look over your parents and your family. I pray that the salt of their tears, soon will be replaced by the sweetest of memories of you. You were here. You mattered. You will be missed. *This was my favorite picture of you, that flawless skin and never far from your other half, Beaker. * Rest babe! ❤️
