Michael Jackson's children pay their respects to Motown legend Tito Jackson at his funeral

GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA: Michael Jackson’s kids Paris and Bigi (formerly known as Blanket) came together for a somber farewell to their uncle Tito Jackson in Glendale, California.

The family reunion was a tough one, as the Jacksons gathered to honor Tito’s memory after he passed from a heart attack at age 70.

In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Paris, 26, kept it classic with a black dress, dark pantyhose, and some edgy black boots. Meanwhile, Bigi, 22, was right there looking sharp in a black suit and tie, with his long hair neatly parted and tucked behind his ears.

Even though they’ve kept a pretty low profile, both Paris and Bigi showed up for family.

It wasn’t just the two of them—this was a real Jackson family affair. Aunt La Toya, 68, and Uncle Marlon, 67, were there as well, along with cousins Jaafar, 28, and Jermajesty, 24. Family friend Kimora Lee Simmons, 49, also came out to show support.

After Tito’s passing, Paris took to her Instagram Stories with a simple but moving tribute. She posted an old photo of Tito alongside her dad Michael. “Rest in transition, Uncle Tito," she wrote.

Her older brother Prince, 27, also paid tribute to Tito with a family photo that featured many of the Jacksons gathered around their grandmother Katherine. “Love you forever Poppa T," he wrote.

Tito’s son TJ chimed in on Prince’s post with a sweet comment. “He always spoke so highly [of] you, Prince, and was so proud of the man you have become and your love for family. Thank you for being such a great nephew to him," TJ gushed. 

Tito Jackson's final hours and the shock of his death

More details surfaced about Tito Jackson’s last day, thanks to his close friend and business partner Terry Harvey Maltbia. 

Tito apparently told him he "couldn't breathe" and "wasn't feeling good" moments before he was rushed to a New Mexico hospital where he eventually succumbed to a heart attack.

Maltbia revealed that they’d been on a road trip to California, with another friend Ronald Balfour. The three had stopped in New Mexico for a meal—turkey and chicken, laughing and talking like old friends. But then things took a turn.

As they finished up and started putting the top back on the convertible, Tito started feeling off.

"We just got done eating turkey and chicken, laughing and talking," Maltbia recalled. "We were putting the top on the convertible because it started raining. That's when Tito came back on the passenger side window and said, 'My chest is hurting. Can you help Ronnie to finish the top?'"

Sadly, Tito was rushed to the hospital soon after, where he passed away.

Janet and La Toya Jackson’s emotional tributes to Tito

On what would’ve been Tito’s 71st birthday, his sister Janet Jackson shared her own tribute, posting a sweet black-and-white childhood snap of them together. “May you rest in eternal peace. I miss you so much!” she wrote.

La Toya also shared a birthday post for Tito. “Happy Heavenly Birthday Tito! I will always love you!” she wrote.

Tito left behind a big family: nine grandkids and three sons—Taj, 51, Taryll, 49, and TJ, 46—whom he shared with his ex-wife, Delores 'Dee Dee' Martes. Even though their marriage ended in 1988, Tito remained close with his family and his legacy as a Jackson will live on.
