John Witherspoon, the icon and legend within and outside the comedian/voice acting communities had passed away on October 29th, 2019.....this unreal/unpredicted news was broken on his official Twitter by his beloved family.

The Witherspoon Family

It is with deep sadness we have to tweet this, but our husband & father John Witherspoon has passed away. He was a Legend in the entertainment industry, and a father figure to all who watched him over the years. We love you “POPS” always & forever. (Source: 

 The actor had played in 38 different TV Series and 38 movies.....His loss to the community will hit hard for some to grasp....

As I'm writing this I can't seem even believe it....His roles in the Boondocks was comedy gold where he could play a serious yet comedic character, Friday where he would be a side character in the series always showed his comedic nature, and Vampire in Brooklyn and Doctor Dolittle also revealed you can be a comedian even if it's not the main character role.

Many....many celebrities are sharing their grief at the loss of their friend, idol, and or mentor......

The black community lost another one.....

RIP John Witherspoon you are and will be greatly missed.....
