Roosevelt Tillman was a beloved figure in Xavier's hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. He owned a bar and was an active figure in the community. A small excerpt from a 2010 article from Michigan Live:
"Roosevelt Tillman has been a champion of the city of Grand Rapids and its children. That devotion was especially evident when Mr. Tillman, owner of Tillman Industries, headed up fundraising to keep Grand Rapids city pools open as budget cuts threatened to close them down. His care has been evident, too, in a summer event he hosts to provide school supplies to youngsters."
He leaves behind 4 children including Xavier. Sending prayers to X man and his family

God damn. Prayers up for X and his family
RIP to his Tillman’s father, Roosevelt. Prayers for healing while he grieves
Prays out to the Tillman family. Losing a parent is the worst feeling imaginable.
Losing a parent is so so painful. You have our deepest sympathy.
Man, that’s awful. The community and family must be reeling. Prayers to them all.
The video breaks my heart. They have to win this thing, anything to make X feel a little better. Losing your father at such a young age has to be awful.
RIP Roosvelt, wish the best for his family
That’s terrible. I feel for you, X. Stay strong.
RIP Mr. Tillman.
That’s fucking awful💔
Why does all of this have to be posted. Why would Xavier and his family wanna read a conversation about this online
Really sad news 🥹
dam, hope x is ok.
Nothing prepares you to lose a parent, whether you were close or estranged or whether it was sudden or expected. Nothing.
My thoughts are with the Tillman family.
Terrible
Jesus. Condolences to Big X and the Tillman family. Awful feeling.
Prayers ❤️
RIP
