A tribute to one of the most talented musicians I have ever seen . He really uplifted the choir while he was in college at OSU. He was loved by all who knew him. He was a hard worker on the field and on the keys. I know he will be greatly missed, but I know he is safe in our master’s arms. Love ya brother, until we meet again. RIH

I had the privilege to coach Tavie at McClellan High School. He was a joy to coach and a great person. He was a very special athlete that won the long jump and shot put at the Arkansas High School Meet of Champs in the highest classification in the state. He also was a great football player for us that received a scholarship to Oklahoma State University. I have very fond memories of Tavie Hampton. God bless his family and Tavie Rest In Peace.

To Carol, Family and Friends of my dear friend/classmate/brother, “Tavie” such a gentleman:
If he were here , I believe this is what he would say to us…
Safely Home
I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In the everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand.
Do it now while life remainth—-
and you too shall rest in God’s land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting
Oh, the joy to see you come!
Rest in love #77, #96 Till we meet again
