How Did Quincy Jones’ Children React to His Death? — Their Tributes
Quincy Jones died on November 3, 2024, at his home in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, leaving behind seven children. In the days following his passing, his grieving children took to social media to honor their father.
Quincy’s death was announced in a statement shared by his representative, Arnold Robinson. However, the cause of death was not disclosed. The composer died aged 91.
His family wrote a touching statement, “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing. And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”
The family also expressed deep admiration and gratitude, reflecting on the unique legacy Quincy leaves behind. They shared how his boundless love and joyful spirit defined him and found a way to resonate across the globe through his creative contributions.
This brings them comfort and pride in this time of loss. “Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity,” they added.
Aside from the statement, some of Quincy’s kids have also paid tribute to him on social media. He was a father to Jolie Jones Levine, Rachel Jones, Martina Jones, Quincy Jones III, Kidada Jones, Rashida Jones, and Kenya-Kinski Jones.
Jolie shared a tribute to her late father by reposting an Instagram story originally shared by composer Raphael Eligoulachvili on his Instagram stories. The story featured an embedded post from Quincy celebrating Jolie’s birthday.
The nostalgic post showed a young Jolie seated at a piano with her father leaning over, guiding her as she played. Quincy’s message read, “Happiest of all birthdays to my 1st born baby, @jolieannejones! Love U always & forever honey. Here’s to all the b-e-a-utiful memories we’ve made & will continue to make together!…xxoo…ALL my ❤️.”
In her repost, Jolie added a simple and touching message, “🙏 Quincy 🤍🕊️,” expressing her love for her late father.
Jones III, who is the legendary singer’s fourth child, also paid tribute to his father. He shared a heartfelt Instagram post with a photo of the two together, honoring his father’s memory following his passing. Jones III captioned the post, ” 🤲🏾💜🤲🏾🕊️.”
Jones III also reposted two posts on his Instagram stories. One was a video shared by Nicole Avant, showing Clarence Avant and Quincy sharing a playful moment of laughter as they reminisced. Clarence was a manager, entrepreneur, facilitator, and adviser, who helped launch and guide Quincy’s career.
Nicole, who is the daughter of the late Clarence, wrote an emotional tribute to accompany the post, “Best Friends. Soulmates. I just know Clarence greeted you with some ice cubes and a glass of Petrus 🥂🙏🏽”
Another post that Jones III shared in his Instagram stories was from Culture Machine, a broadcasting and media production company. The post featured a video of Quincy passionately discussing the transcendent power of music.
Culture Machine captioned it, “Quincy Jones always understood that music transcends the senses — it’s a force that comes from the heavens and echoes through time. His melodies touched our souls and will continue to shape the rhythm of the universe. Rest in power, Quincy.”
Just as his kids have shown their adoration for their father, Quincy also always showered his children with love. He shared this sentiment right up until his passing. Just hours before he died, on November 2, 2024, he posted a heartfelt tribute to his daughter Martina on her birthday.
