Remembering Young Dolph
This recent advancement with suspects in the Young Dolph murder case is a relief to mourning fans, friends, and family who demanded justice for the fallen rapper.
Undoubtedly Dolph was known in his city primarily for being extremely family-oriented and always giving back. Particularly, Dolph’s annual Thanksgiving turkey drive always drew praise from the south Memphis area and was continued even after his tragic passing. His Aunt Trice previously spoke on Dolph’s influence on the community and passion for the youth, “He meant the world to me,” Trice said.
“To be out there to help the kids, help the needy, buy kids clothes for Christmas, in the summertime, it didn’t matter. Block parties, it’s all about the children in the community with him.”
In any event, Dolph’s legacy lives on with his two children, Tre Tre and Aria Thornton.
