In the post, Spyro said, “I miss you mentor…I cannot count my blessings without you. Today thoughts of how you fed me, clothed, and accepted me when nobody did, came rushing back. I remember a night we were to go to an event and as usual, I came so unkempt and fashion-less but while others laughed at me, you went up to your room and brought your cloth down for me to wear.”

“I wish you were here to see all that is happening. I remember how I would always tell you I would make you proud, and it’s sad you ain’t here now. Thank you for all you taught me and did for me. Till we meet again, rest in power Sound Sultan,” Spyro added.

Sound Sultan passed away on July 11, 2021, at the age of 44, after a long battle with cancer in the United States.
