On his Instagram Story after Tito’s death, Paris shared a photo of himself and his late father, who died in June 2009, and wrote, “Rest in the transition, Uncle Tito.”

Meanwhile, her older brother Prince, 27, shared a family photo on social media that included several members of the famous family surrounding matriarch Katherine.

He captioned it: “Love you forever, daddy T.”

Tito’s son TJ commented: ‘He always spoke highly of you, Prince, and was very proud of the man you have become and your love for family. Thank you for being such a good nephew to him.

Tito Jackson told his friend Terry Harvey Maltbia that he “couldn’t breathe” and “didn’t feel good” moments before he was rushed to a New Mexico hospital, where he later died of a heart attack.

Maltbia, who is also Jackson’s business partner, told DailyMail.com that he and the singer were in Gallup, New Mexico and stopped for lunch before getting back on the road and heading to Jackson’s ranch in Oklahoma.

Maltbia, Jackson and another friend, Ronald Balfour, were on a road trip to California, where the trio planned to pick up Jackson’s vintage cars at his home.

“We just finished eating turkey and chicken, laughing and talking,” Maltbia said. ‘We were putting the top on the convertible because it started to rain. That’s when Tito came back to the passenger side window and said, “My chest hurts. Can you help Ronnie finish the hood?”
