New details about Quincy Jones’ death are coming to light.
More than a week after the legendary music producer's passing was confirmed by his family, its cause has been determined to be by pancreatic cancer, according to his death certificate obtained by TMZ, which reported the news Nov. 13.
Jones, who never made his cancer diagnosis public, died Nov. 13 at age 91 at his home in Bel Air, Calif. while surrounded by his children, siblings, and close family.
"Although this is an incredible loss for our family," his family shared in a statement Nov. 4. "we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him."
The statement continued, "He is truly one of a kind and we will miss him dearly. We take comfort and immense pride in knowing that the love and joy, that were the essence of his being, was shared with the world through all that he created. Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity.”
The Grammy Award-winning producer, who worked with musicians such as Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson, is survived by his brother, two sisters and seven children, including actresses Kidada Jones and Rashida Jones.
The Parks & Recreation alum paid tribute to her dad following his death, sharing a heartwarming family memory of sitting in on his late-night composing sessions growing up.
“When I was little,” Rashida wrote in a Nov. 7 Instagram post, "I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him. Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music)."
"He would never send me back to bed," she continued. "He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work...there was no safer place in the world for me."
The filmmaker, who co-directed the 2018 documentary Quincy about her dad, described him as "a giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius."
"All accurate descriptions of my father but his music (and ALL of his work) was a channel for his love. He WAS love," she wrote. "He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy. I was fortunate enough to experience this love in close proximity. I’ll miss his hugs and kisses and unconditional devotion and advice. Daddy, it is an honor to be your daughter. Your love lives forever."
