Details of June Bug’s final hours emerged across the Internet yesterday (March 30).
Snoop Dogg’s uncle June Bug passed away Sunday morning after holding on almost a week longer than doctors expected … and Snoop was the last person to see him. June Bug’s nephew Daz Dillinger tells TMZ … his uncle died around 9:30 am — and it happened right after Snoop arrived for a visit. We’re told J.B. happily acknowledged Snoop’s presence … then passed on. As we previously reported, June Bug was given one day to live last week after succumbing to colon cancer … but he was clearly a fighter. (TMZ)
Snoop broke the initial sad news about his uncle to over 11.2 million Twitter followers earlier this month.
“rip uncle junebug . greatest to ever do it !!! heaven wouldn’t be the same without u !,” Snoop tweeted March 21. (Snoop Dogg’s Twitter)
