It is with a great sense of pain and loss that we announce the recent passing of UBF Chairman of the Board of Directors Mr. Phillip Lavell Harris III. A longtime friend of our founder, Ivan Kilgore, Lavell a.k.a. “Comedian Velly Vel—Big Belly All”—passed from this life on Friday, April 17, 2020 at his residence. He was born April 1, 1972 in Oklahoma City.
He will be missed dearly for his humor and work with the foundation and as a friend to us all. He was the epitome of dedication. From day one, some six years ago, he came in 100% dedicated to the change we represented here at the United Black Family Scholarship Foundation. Forever a public servant. Rest in power good friend.
