Troy was my brother from another mother. He was a warrior for God and a generous soul. He lived to empower others and success followed him in all his endeavors. He was taken way too soon.

I was introduced to Troy (Ras Spartacus) by Wendell Culbreath (Breath) in 1993 after a show a group I was managing gave  at a club on Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles. He had just released his CD, Prehistoric Lingua, and after speaking with him for over an hour, I knew we were going to be friends. I listened to his CD when I got home that morning, and was very impressed with his talent. Over the years I found out that Troy was a very creative, multitalented artist who had a unique style and delivery.

Our friendship grew over the years. When I moved to the Bay Area in 1995, Troy and I stayed in contact with one another. I started advising him  in his artistic and business ventures at that time as well. Over the years, we maintained a very close friendship, primarily by telephone because I moved around quite a bit. Troy and I had a lot in common, and shared  similar outlook on life. 

On an extended visit to Southern California, in 2017, I spent many days and nights with him at the home of his mother, Miss Helen, and his two sons, Troy jr. and Jeremiah in Ontario. I became a member of their family at this time, and shared many experiences with them. I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Jeremiah (J.J.) at the first of this year. Upon hearing of Troy’s passing a few weeks later, I was devastated. One only gets a few good friends in life, and when you lose them, it hurts. 

My condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the Donaldson family and close friends of Ras Spartacus. Rest In Peace my friend, until we meet again,
