President Biden and VP Kamala Harris sent letters to the family expressing their condolences along with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp .

According to PEOPLE , Quan’s mother Tammie Morgan-Chism spoke and revealed he was the miracle baby she was told would never happen.

“When man said I would never have kids, god blessed me with you, and you’ve been the anchor of my life from the beginning to the very end. Lord knows I’m grateful for the 34 years God allowed me to share you with the world. No more late nights and early morning talks, but the presence of knowing you are my personal angel is well with my soul.” Quan’s mother wrote.

XXL reports Killer Mike spoke to the positivity Quan shared everywhere he went and his forgiving spirit.

“Our writing comes from the experiences around us so believe me, that smile that he had carried the weight that you have,” Mike said. “The smile that he walked around with sometimes masked a shattering, hurt thing, and he still gave audiences joy and love and laughter. So I wanna say to us, forgive yourself for your own addictions.”

During the service, DC Young Fly also showcased his duality in being hilarious while having the capacity to speak life while mourning. DC went viral during the funeral of his partner Jacky Oh and struck a chord during the funeral with his potent words.

“Y’all gave us an icon, y’all gave us a legend,” Young Fly said to Rich Homie Quan’s parents . “We’re all on borrowed time. So the things that he accomplished while he was here we wanna let you know that we’re gonna continue on his legacy, and even through the small amount of time it made a big impact.”

In an especially touching moment, the Atlanta City Council announced that Sept. 17 will forever be known as “Rich Homie Quan Day” in the city.
