UPSILON KAPPA KAPPA

WHEN A BROTHER DIESOMEGA’S STAR IS DIMINISHED

Upsilon Kappa Kappa (YKK) Chapter, Indianapolis, IN, Basileus, Bro. Gerrick Bo Williams. YKK, the Talented 10th District and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. have suffered a great loss in Bro. Taurese Edge who went home to Omega Chapter on February 26, 2023. Bro. Edge was 1-Rho Sigma 01 Purdue University. Upon graduation, YKK Chapter, founded 1998, became Bro. Edge’s Graduate Chapter Home. Bro. Edge was the number one on his line along with Bro. Keith Dix 2-Rho Sigma 01. Bro. Edge was with some his chapter brothers celebrating a chapter brother’s wife’s birthday hours before departing this world and we will always remember him as a fun-loving, hardworking brother. Bro. Edge would have been so proud of the awesome outpouring of Love from the 100’s of Brothers, friends and family members that traveled to Indianapolis, IN, from all around the country to say a final good bye to our brother. One brother was overheard saying “Taurese was the Bruhz” while looking in amazement over the sea of many brothers that showed up for the Omega Memorial Service held on March 11, 2023. In Friendship, we thank you all for all your undying and continued support.

Our historical tradition teaches us that it takes 10 Omega brothers to replace one Omega brother and YKK will find this to be an enduring loss for some time to come, and while God forever reigns in Light, Life and Love we shall somehow find the strength to See it through. We asked that the 10th district and all brothers that knew Bro. Edge please join YKK in keeping his family in all of your prayers and keep his spirit alive by taking care of yourself, calling an absent brother, check on a sick brother, reclaim a brother remembering the motto, Friendship is Essential to the Soul and let manhood continue to be our eternal shrine until Omega Chapter calls on each one of us home. Genesis 4:9 Am I my brother’skeeper?
