ike turner - Online Memorial Website

Thank you for being a part of the soundtrack of my life !

Sincere sincere sympathy and love, Tina and other family and friends, from all the parts of this ICON's life. The beat will go on forever from generation to generation . . . PJ - Pat

I wanted to express my deepest condolences to the family. It has to be difficult to grieve the man you loved in light  of the spotlight his death has recieved. I understand that he was not the man portrayed in some media...at least that is not all he was. A man is the sum of his parts....his history, his accomplishments and his errors. In this time of loss of the man you knew I hope you are keeping close to each other...getting your time to grieve and finding comfort in knowing his soul has found peace as well as forgiveness.

Ike, It sure was a pleasure knowing you.  You have touched so many lives.  Thank you for being so kind to me. 

Ike was a very talented musician.  My nephew Jason and I had visited with him at his home.  He said to me Aunt Sue, you want me to make up a song for you.          I will never forget those words, because when he started playing , I just stood there amazed at the talent this man had. I could not believe it. He deserves all the respect in the world.

May you finally rest in peace,

Aunt Sue

To the Turner Family, the world has loss a great artist and his memory will forever live on the hearts of the young and old, may God continue to console you'll until he reunites you with your father.

Ike Turner, a pioneer in R&B, Rock, Funk. He had a long career with ups and downs like most musicians. I met him in the early seventies at his studio and have always looked up to him. I have also been blessed with meeting his daughter Twanna, whom I have been performing with on and off for many years. God bless you Ike, and thank you so much for what you have given us..

I emailed Ike a few years ago and he actually took the time to reply, heres what he said: "HUGHES,,, I DO GET MY MAIL AND SOMETIMES I REPLY.THANKS FOR THIS LETTER IT MEAN A LOT TO ME AND I HOPE I MEET YOU SOMEDAY SOON.IM NOT THAT GOOD AT THIS BY NOW YOU CAN TELL,,I,D RATHER BE PLAYING MUSIC. THANKS AGAIN LOVE IKE TURNER Sadly I never got a chance to see him live, but this email I am sure typifies what a great guy he was. I am only in my 20's and I think it goes to show what an impact he made through music over the years, I have 'here and now' playing all the time on my IPOD. RIP Ike.
