Antoine's Obituary
Antoine E. Jasper Sr. "The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him." At least this is what I thought and you can't dispute it, because I'm no longer here. Nicole, you know you're the only woman who truly had my heart.
I made my debut into this world on January 13, 1975, a wintery Chicago Monday. I was blessed to be carried into and watched over by Jessica Christmas with some assistance by the late Roscoe Jones and John Jasper. I had been sick for many years all while fighting it with a smile on my face, a controller in my hand, good food in my belly and surrounded by love. It was a long battle and this body needed to be clothed in what can't die. So, on October 19, 2022, God did just that.
I was raised with a wonderful little sister, sike, she was a snitch and always thought she was the oldest. Keev, remember, I am YOUR big brother and I am still only a conversation away. Throughout this life, I've obtained some education and worked a little; but, that's not important. What's important is that I've loved and been loved. You remember me telling you that women wanted to be with me? Well, three of the said women couldn't resist my charm and we conceived six beautiful children. I have no doubt that my children will accomplish their hearts desires, leave this world a better place, and their ties will bind them forever.
I hope I was able to put a smile on your face at one time or another and I'm grateful to all of you that came out to celebrate my life and support: my mother (Jessica), my children (Kendall, Marita, Maliyah, Antoine Jr., Talina, Ashanti and Kristi), my sister (Johnnette), grandson (Jordan), nephew (Pepper Jr. (Emily)), great niece (Mariella), great nephew (Nico) and the most amazing, beautiful and steadfast fiancé a man could ever ask for, Nicole. I have to go for now. It's been a long time since I've been able to breathe fresh air and I want to introduce my granddad to the world of video games. Please be there for my children, remind them that I love them and don't be afraid to talk about the mistakes I've made_ They will make mistakes and I need them to always understand that they are not their mistakes. Make sure you cheer my Bears on tomorrow against the Dolphins. I love you, remember me with a smile on your face and in the words of Bone Thugs in Harmony, "Meet you at the Crossroads."
A Wake will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, November 5th 2022 at Filbrandt Chapel. A Funeral Services will follow at 2:00 PM Pastor Milan Bittenbender officiating.
