Former O’Jays singer and R&B legend Eddie Levert is mourning the loss of his youngest child, daughter Ryan Levert, who reportedly passed away at the age of 22.
After reports popped up online with the sad news, it was confirmed by Carlysia Levert, the daughter of Eddie’s late son Gerald Levert. She shared some photos in her Instagram Story of Ryan with the caption, “Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for my family. please send extra love up for my papa and nana.” She also reposted a post from the page The RNB Talk Show that stated that Ryan passed after a battle with lupus. Ryan was featured in a fun podcast, The Levert Opinion, with her father and grandson LeMicah (Gerald’s son).
