Young Dolph was best known for his music, but also his acts of charity in the Castalia Heights neighborhood where he grew up.
His family's spokesperson, Danielle Reid, said they don't want his untimely death due to gun violence to be in vain.
Young Dolph's family hopes those who attended or watched his celebration of life will be inspired to do more good in their community.
"Even though this is an end of a chapter as far as finding peace with his untimely death and I don't think you ever truly find peace, but it's also the start of something new," Reid said. "Keeping his legacy moving forward."
Reid said Young Dolph's life partner Mia Jaye will continue the fight to end violence against Black men through her organization, Black Men Deserve To Grow Old. Jaye hopes others will also advocate for a better and safer community.
