Howell Wayans, the patriarch of the iconic Wayans family, died at 86 years old, his youngest son Marlon announced Saturday.
“Legend,” Marlon Wayans said in a tribute on Instagram. “Thank you Pop for being an example of a Man to all your boys. I pray all young black boys can grow up to be a Man like you. Baby boy loves you. And if ever I need you I know exactly where to find you… in my Bible that now sits by bed.”Howell Wayans had ten children with Elvira, most of whom have found success in entertainment — Keenan Ivory, Damon, Shawn, Dwayne, Kim, Nadia, Elvira, Diedra, Vonnie and Marlon.
“Rest well. Kiss Ma for me. Tell her her babies miss her. I got two angels. I feel y’all lifting me already. If there’s a heaven I know you sitting in VIP sippin’ the best wine jesus can make…”Tributes poured in Saturday for the late Wayans from family members to comedians and other celebrities. “My prayers to you and the family my brother rest in peace to ya pops,” commented two time heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe.
