Usher’s Stepson Dies
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Obituaries,
Usher's 11-year-old stepson has died, two weeks after he was critically injured in a jet ski accident.
Kyle Glover - the child of Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond and her former partner Ryan Glover - passed away yesterday after the family made the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life support machine. Kyle was struck in the head during a jet ski collision while riding an inner tube on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this month and his mother is understandably "devastated" over her loss.
Willie A. Watkins funeral home in Atlanta has confirmed it will be handling the funeral arrangements for the little boy. Last week, Kyle's family asked for prayers as they kept a bedside vigil following the tragic accident. "We know God's in control, and are leaning on our faith in Him and His word at this most difficult time. We firmly believe in the power of prayer and ask that you all continue to pray and lift Kile up, as it's the best way we can all support him now," they said in a statement.

Usher’s Stepson Declared Brain Dead
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
Kyle Glover - the child of the singer's ex-wife Tameka and her former partner Ryan Glover - was unresponsive when he was rescued from Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday after being struck on the head by a passing jet ski while riding on an inner tube and taken to the Children's Healthcare unit at Egleston Hospital in Atlanta, but has "not experienced any brain activity" since being admitted, a source told gossip website TMZ.com.
A decision has yet to be made on whether to take the youngster off life support.
Tameka took to her Facebook page to thank fans and family for their support and urged them to pray for her little boy. "Kyle, You are strong ... You'll be saved I know it. I love you my baby. I need all #Prayers for my son! thanks you everybody! (sic)" the mother of five wrote.
Tameka - who has been undergoing a bitter custody battle with Usher over their sons Usher VI, four, and Naviyd Ely, three - was "extremely thankful" to her former spouse after he reportedly chartered a plane for her to fly back to Atlanta to be by Kyle's side.
