Im not totally sure if im in the right place, because I heard about this death through family hearsay. If im wrong, my apoligies and condolences to the bereaved family. But yeah, as far as I know, this was a distant cousin of mine and for me to never have met him and now never have the chance to, its irritating.
Im praying that his life was right with God, along with his murderer's, so I will have the chance to meet him in the life to come.
Again, my sincerest apologies if my comments are misplaced.
R.I.P.

[it really doesn't matter who i am]

Man I never imagined that my life would change so drastically with you not being here... I always looked for you to be there as the person I confided in to give me the advice that I wanted to hear and not what I needed to hear... I know that I can not change some of the things that have happened, but I focus my attention on why I never told youa s my cousin how much I love you... Although we never shared the same blood, reminiscing on the amount of love you had showed me replaced all of the sorrow that I have felt... I LOVE YOU BEYOND WHAT ANY AMOUNT OF WORDS COULD EVER EXPRESS AND I THANK GOD FOR PLACING YOU IN MY LIFE FOR 5 YEARS... I LOVE YOU BIG KEJUAN

[meeksf]

First and formost giving honor to GOD......And both of my cuzzins Branden and Kejuan.

It's crazy how I been following these blogs a nd just seeing what everyone has to say about both Branden and Kejuan.I dont care how much hatred anger or whatever the case may be why say anything negative about someone you dont even know barely or even if you did know him you wouldnt have dare spoke the words that your saying now that hes gone.My cuzzin was a great man I known he would have been the person he became since we was at Markham Middle school.everyone has second chances in life and my cuzzin took his second chance in life when he had his 1st born and he did a complete 360. So thats why i didnt understand why and didnt even questioned GOD when he took him from us that nite.But was so crazy about that situtation is that I saw him that nite at Uncle H shop before he even went to Cerritos and he had this strange glow about him but I didnt pay it no mind i gave him a hug and told him that he need to go home cuz its to hot out here tonite he said he was but I knew he was lying to me and about two hours later they calling talking about he gone.All i have to say to the "LOVE AND LADY OF LIFE FOREVER IS KEEP YO HEAD UP SWEETY HE STILL HERE WITH YOU HE DIDNT GO THAT FAR THAT U CANT CALL ON HIM"

P.S
TO ALL YO HATERS OUT THERE HATING ON MY PEOPLE KNOCK IT OFF CUZ YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

I Reminisce...

I reminisce for you.
I reminisce for the day I try to forget
But the feelings never go away.

I reminisce for you
I reminisce the nights
For the things we did
And how it was so right.

I reminisce for the love
For the love that was always there
I reminisce, I reminisce and i know in my heart
That you really did care.

Eventhough my mind plays tricks on me
And I cant seem to let you go
I believe it's because you're still loving me
I reminisce, I reminise
And the memories tell me so.
R.I.P babe...

[MISs MEe... is what he called me]

[annon]

Whats the name of the National Geopgraphic special? If anyone knows, please post it. Rest in Peace Kejuan.

[Neely]

"Miss me..."

Enough already. We all know who this person was. You miss him, we get it. Find a good thearapist because coming here hasn't helped you come to terms with his death at all!! And as long as you have some where to go that you think is a wonderful outlet for you, you will never come to terms with his death. Hope you find the help you need.

[MISs MEe...is what he called me]

Yesterday, Today, Always.

Sometimes we are so close, physically
Yet so far apart, spirtually, emotionally
I may want to hold you, talk to you, laugh with you
But you are somewhere elese
Wht cant you take me there with you?
Why do I have to be here all alone
With no one to hold me, no one to keep me warm
You close the door to your private jet
and zoom away, not wanting any passengers
I'm Begging......

Please let ME on board
Let ME fly away with you
Again, let me be your partner
The world ahead of us is so bright
Let;s hold hands and enter a new dimension
One filled with even more love and happiness
than we already share...
Yesterday, Today, Always... loveing u forever baby i miss u so much Kejuan

[missn]

I had just begun to heal...and then, more drama. It is inconcievable to me that my man was four years younger than me and I signed his death certificate, helped to pick out his casket. I look at your clothes that hung in our closet...I've moved away, but moved them right with me; your wallet, your ID. I hold your keys wishing you would use them again. That morning you walked out our door; I had to leave because the sight of the door was driving me insane. Thinking that somehow you would come back home. I was the last person to see you alive, but I still can't believe that you're dead...I try to disconnect; but you're a permanent part of my being. So profound was the effect you had on my life that even though I try to move on with my existence; the thing I wish for most is that you would have been able to squeeze my hand back as you lay there in that hospital bed. I close my eyes at night and I still see you laying there. It is insane to me that you died in the same outfit that I bought for you to wear to Branden's wake the day you got out of the hospital. You wore those clothes to go and say your last goodbyes to your brother, and then you wore the outfit when you said your last goodbye to me. I look at your pictures, smell your clothes, wear your undergarments to bed all in an attempt to keep you with me. We had planned a life together, you told me that what we had was something you had never had before. You promised me that we would always be us...and we are us. I was with you in your last moment; and you will be with me in my last moment, for you're forever etched in my heart. I love you...

Exterior, Interior...

When people look at me they explain what they see as strenth, will power, strong mind, confidence
when i look in the mirror at myself I see pain I see eyes overflowing with tears..

Just months ago, I was so happy I wonder how, in such short time, so much happiness could turn into so much sadness

I've always seem to be such a strong person very nonchalant, carefree, easygoing but theres something some unknown, unseen force a force that can break you down at your weakest moment, please believe that a negtive force will take advantage of that moment

Restoring strenth is very hard to me, its like trying to steal a loose brick, if someone moves it before the cement is dries, its loose again..

PLEASE LET MY CEMENT DRY...

I end with tears because i rememner that day in the shower as he watched i spilled for Kejuan. he said that I was his star and now im alone...MISS YOU BABY LOVEING U FOREVER...

[Mikey T]

Man, I grew up in Lynwood and my parents got me out before I really understood what was going on but it makes me real sad when I see that many of my people don't even know about the world of opportunity that's 15 minutes away from their doorstep. It's a shame to me that so many people think that there is some glory in killing each other in the streets.

I don't agree with the way this Ryston cat is coming at it but there is a bit of truth in it. He apparently lived by the sword and died by it but most likely because he never fully understood that there were a ton of other options. Coach, if you really loved this man the way you say you do (and I believe that you do), stop worrying about clowns on the internet and be the one to show his son that the road that his dad and his uncle traveled was a foolish one. While I understand the sentiment behind having him hear the good in his father, the tougher and more important job lies in helping him understand where the road his father traveled leads... and making sure he doesn't follow.

People go down the wrong path because they don't fully appreciate or believe that there are other paths available. It's highly likely that Ryston was only shown the "good" paths in life. Lucky you.

[michael ryston]

HEY COACH....

HERE IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS SO WE CAN GET INTO SOME SERIOUS CONVERSATION.....AND WE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BEING CENSORED..

RYSTON88@GMAIL.COM

[michael ryston]

Hey Coach....

I guess you missed the National Geographic special on Sunday 07/20 which told the true story about what this individual was involved in. His mother even admitted to being a former member of the Grape St Crips. I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree. So, because she did not distance herself from the gang lifestyle....she has paid by having to sacrifice not one, but two of her sons.

Your mind is twisted to a point where I fear it may not ever function properly again if you actually feel that he was a good person. The truth of the matter is that the Bullard brothers lived by the sword, and there can be no doubt that they DIED BY THE SWORD.

SO SPARE THE WORLD THE BS, AND GET TO WORK ON TRYING TO SAVE THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE CAUGHT UP IN THIS MESS INSTEAD OF IGORING IT, AND PRETENDING ITS ALL GOOD. ITS FAR FROM BEING ANYTHING BUT A COMPLETE DISASTER.

[Coach]

"MISs MEe is wht he called me.. ", Please email me. This is "Coach". If you have not heard of me from Kejuan ask Cathy who I am and she will tell you it's cool. I just found out what happend to Kejuan and it hurt even more to hear of B.L. I truly loved Kejuan and Brandon and I am having a very difficult time right now, and have been since Thursday night (7/17/08). I lost contact and would desperately appreciate your help in reaching the family!! Here's my email: jccartermail@yahoo.com. Oh yeah, in regards to this man on here that keeps saying these evil things about a man I loved as a son. Please allow me!!! I will begin by saying -- Father God rush into his mind and heart because he is so very blind. Mr. Ryston regardless of his 'alleged' choices of late; Kejuan was the perfect father, son, brother and if you had been blessed to have him as a friend he made you feel very important. Ya know, he has had more glory on a football field in one day!!!!! Than you will ever have in your ENTIRE life. When placed in situations in life sometimes one has to do what the F they have to do. Sometimes to provide for others or protect others that they love. I wonder where you live. I wonder how much struggle you truly know about. And you judge him. Ohhhhhh I hope you read this 'cause I plan on talking to you about this topic and this young man either until I make you see more clearly or until you just coward down. Oh and guess what? THERE IS A KEJUAN EDWARD BULLARD JR !!!!!!! I thought at first to save this dialog of yours and share it with him when he grows up...but God touched me and said NO. He will never hear anything other than GREAT and FABULOUS things from me about his father. HA you didn't even know him. You sound like a police officer the way you have so much info ..and with such "certainty of facts" tone you use. I'm letting you off for now. I'm gonna be the one on this site that will guard your ass like "you my man" in a NBA basketball game AND YOU WILL NOT SCORE !!!. From this point on I'm living for your responses. I will defend this man for the rest of MY life. I wish I had been there too and take his place as he faced these cowards.

[MISs MEe is wht he called me..]

I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GETTING STRONGER BUT LAST NIGHT I REALIZED THAT ITS NOT POSSIBLE..ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS AND IM STILL CRYING, IM STILL HURTING, MY BODY IS YERNING FOR YOU..IM SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT ASKING YOU TO STAY WITH ME THAT NIGHT, INSTEAD I SAID GO HAVE FUN WE WILL HOOK UP LATER, IM BEATING MYSELF UP FOR THOSE WORDS..I DONT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS kEJUAN, IM NOT THE SAME ANYMORE, A PART OF ME IS DEAD AND I FEEL LIKE THE REST OF ME IS SLOWLY DIEING...I LOVE YOU BABY...
