A little note from #TheGEDSection: After every gig, #charliemurphy rushed home to be with his kids. He died with gigs on the books. #RIP Brother, I love you. @TheDLHughleyShow @iamjasminesanders @istevewilson #TeamDL @therealcharliemurphy

Today we lost a #RealOne. @therealcharliemurphy was a bad man and funny af. He was honest and straight shooter, no BS kinda dude, awesome Father and family man. Had a gregarious laugh that would make you laugh, he stood on his own 2 feet as a man and as a comic even in the shadows of the brother of one of the greatest to have ever done it. Listening to Charlie tell stories of his life was truly one of my greatest past times. It's why I love this pic. Touring with him these past few years on the #ComedyGetDown was indeed an honor. Though I am sadden by your passing. I pray for all of your loved ones his children and that his soul Rest In Peace. Love you brother C.T.E
