This is for the memory of Donald Joseph-Bell Ruff AKA Nas, or Sir Don, for those who knew him back in the day. For many, Donald is a brother, an uncle, a friend, etc. Donald has lived many lives, yet he still had much more to live and offer.
Unfortunately due to health complications, Donald transitioned over on Saturday, September 28, 2025. He leaves two daughters behind, two grandchildren, and many loved ones. The family can use all the support it can get. Donald didn't have any life insurance or burial arrangements. It has left his family left to pick up the pieces. In Donald's most quoted words, "Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep your head up, and handle it." -Tupac Shakur
