Mother-of-three and beauty entrepreneur Jacky Oh passed away on May 31 at age 32. This past weekend her loved ones gathered to celebrate her life in a series of homegoing services, including her funeral, repast, and a special dove release.
Jacky’s longtime partner, DC Young Fly, gave a touching eulogy that echoed the caption in his first public statement about Jacky’s death. In the Instagram post shared on Thursday, he spoke about her mothering abilities and their collective faith and trust in God–sentiments he echoed while delivering his speech.
“Pray for us, send us good energy. This ain’t hard, but it sure ain’t easy. It ain’t, and for those who see me, y’all know I pray a lot because life is real,” DC said during the eulogy. “And if I didn’t pray a lot, I wouldn’t be able to deal, but I’m standing here strong letting you know, chin up, chest out, I’m straightm. My kids? We good cause like I said we led by the spirit, not by the flesh. Are we hurt? Yes. We’re human. We got emotions. My children know God is real.”
DC then directed his attention to one of his children in the audience, presumably his six-year-old Nova. He asks her about God being real, being God-fearing people, and knowing her mother Jacky is “here with [them]” and they’re going to “keep going.”
He also directed a message to everyone in the audience and those tuning in from home–the service was live-streamed.

“And I want everybody in here if you don’t take nothing from today, man. I don’t care whatever you going through in life, listen, man, find you a relationship with God,” the grieving father said. “She had a beautiful soul, she was a great mother. I’m talking ’bout SUPER great mother, super great mother, super great mother, and we gonna continue that. We gonna continue that love.”
Talking to Jacky’s casket, he said:
“I love you, Jack. These kids are beautiful, man. God granted us the strength to have three. You know I was trying to have seven more,” DC said in a joking manner. “She gon’ beat me up for that one. But I love you, girl, and I want our kids to understand that you had a beautiful soul and you didn’t leave us. You in heaven, your spirit is with us, you still here. And we got an amazing support system, we got a beautiful support system that done came out. Love you. Everybody in here, keep God first. Always remember, listen, do not complain. You may have a valid reason to lose your mind, but that don’t mean it’s right.”
