there is time were we all have to go through this but be storng… i feel the pain to lose someone and to lose someone so great…. R.I.P statcis

R.I.P. MY NIGGA IT WAS FUN TO HAVE YOU UP HERE IN THE MIDWEST BABY…….LIFE GOES ON WE ALL GOTTA GO SOME TIME….BUT I NO U UP THERE SMILING AT WHAT BIG OF A DIFFERANCE YOU MADE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY………20 KEYS IM HOME

R.I.P. Stephen. Major condolensces to tha family. Its real sad… he made REAL music.

My boyfriend asked me if I had seen Lil’ Wayne new video yet, and I said “no”, but I loved the song. He went on to say that at the end of the video it said R.I.P to the producer, who name he could not recall, but stated that he looked young and who was probably about to “blow up” because of the popularity of the song. So finally I walk into the house the other day and Lil’ Wayne video is about to come on and I see, Steve/ Static, on the TV, I screamed to my boyfriend ” that is one of members of Playa, who CD, Cheers2U, I have purchased 4 times at least. I also informed my boyfriend that he was not about to “blow up”, Static has been in the music industry, I always tied him to be a big part of the Timberland/Missy camp, for over 10 years. Playa CD, Cheers2U is one that you can listen to from beginning to end, and it came out in 1998 when I was a freshman in college. Every time I lost it or scratched it I brought another, and I am very picky when it comes to music, so…. For anyone that does not have Playa CD please go and get a copy, you will definitely be pleased and see a small dose of the great music talent has been lost. My deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and fans, he will truly be missed.

I didn’t find out about his death until now.I have been listening to that lollipop song he has with lil wanye not even realizing that he was in the group playa.this is so sad that he died so young.RIP STATIC.

THiS iS SUCH A TERRiBLE LOSS!!! AT LEAST HE GOT TO SHOOT HiS LAST MUSiC ViDEO WiTH LiL WAYNE>>>>> MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO STATiC AND HiS FAMiLY!!!! RiP>>>> WE LOVE YOU>>>>

only the good die !!!! rip static

yo i’ll miss dat dude!! love his music!! RIP

I am deeply saddened by the news of Static’s death. I know I am late but I didn’t hear anything about it until I saw the end of the “Lollipop” video tonight. Static was a true talent. The work he did on Aaliyah’s (Babygirl you are truly missed!) last CD was the sh*t! You can listen to it right now and still bump to it like it was released yesterday. All his hits are timeless songs with crazy beats that when you listen to them they still make you wanna sing and dance. Static, your musical talent will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Stephen, may you R.I.P

OMG he died on my birthday!
sad.

he died on my bday! thats sad

I saw this brother’s video with lil Wayne and at the end I read the words ( In loving memory of Stephen “Static” Major Garrett), and that made me very sad inside- may the All Mighty Allah (SWT) have mercy on your soul and grant you His eternal peace

This comes straight from a close relative of his…

Tragically, he died on February 25, 2008 in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. The cause of death was due to complications from a botched medical procedure performed at Baptist East Hospital in Louisville. It was originally suspected to be due to a brain aneurism, but it was just a rumor which was confirmed by one of his relatives and announced by his former Playaband mate Smoke Digglera on Myspace:

“There have been many different speculations about the death of my brother, Stephen Ellis “Static/Major” Garrett. I write this blog entry to set the record straight. I, also, ask that you direct all to this blog for the truth. I spoke to my sister-in-law, Static’s wife, yesterday at the funeral, and she, again, permits me to do this. She, also, wants all to know “the truth in the booth.” On the day of February 25th, Static was in Atlanta, and began to feel sick. His desire was to go home (Louisville, Kentucky) to be around family and seek medical attention. He had a virus. I, still, don’t know what the name of this virus was, but it was not a life-threatening issue, I do know. This particular virus affects the muscles, throat (quivering of the voice), as well as, causes drooping of the eye. He had no history of illnesses or anything of that nature. Anyone that knows Static, knows that he didn’t like hospitals. He suffered the death of his sister in the late 80’s, when we first met, and had a conscious or phobia about hospitals. I’m sure he’s not the only one. I, now, have that conscious. But, he knew he needed medical attention to become well.

When he admitted himself to Baptist Hospital East in Louisville, Kentucky, the doctors presented him with medicine that would treat the virus. The treatment was taking the medicine through a shunt, in the neck, which treats more severe cases of this virus. Quicker than taking pills for days. Though, he didn’t want the shunt, the doctors insisted that he treat it this way. The treatment was a form of dialysis to filter the blood of the virus.

He called his mom and told her, “Mama, something doesn’t feel right. It hurts.” When the doctor’s were made aware that the shunt was hurting him, they took it out……it was over! When taking the shunt out, they took it out in the wrong manner that resulted in damaging the artery. He bled to death! They killed my brother, his wife’s husband, his kids’ father, his mom’s son, and the world’s musical inspiration.

His death was ruled “accidental”. He didn’t have to die! But, I will say this. In situations like these, I feel that it was time to go home. And, it’s not our decision on whether or not to stay. There is one thing that’s guaranteed in this life, and that is, we all have to die, in some point and time, and in some way or another.

The moral of this story is do not put off for tomorrow what u could do today! Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised! Do whatever it is that you have to do and whatever it is that you want to do TODAY! I will be writing more on Static/Major, due to the fact that I, regardless, am highly upset and disappointed in Baptist Hospital East and their procedures on Monday, February 25, 2008.”

awwwwwwww im so upset
condolence to the family and friends
R.I.P aaliyah statics and all the other ppl dat died
