Zuri also acted, co-starring in Madea’s Big Happy Family (2011), A Madea Christmas (2011), and Madea Gets a Job (2013) after Tyler Perry discovered him on YouTube.
A prolific talent with a bright future, gone too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace.
