Taryll Jackson Honors Uncle Michael with Heartfelt Tribute: “King of ALL Kings”


More than a decade after Michael Jackson’s passing, the grief within his family remains profound—and this week, his nephew Taryll Jackson offered a moving glimpse into that enduring sorrow.

In a tearful social media post, Taryll, a member of the trio 3T, reflected on the personal impact of the King of Pop’s life and legacy.

“He’s not just the King of Pop,” Taryll wrote. “To me, he’s the King of ALL Kings.”

The tribute, simple yet powerful, resonated immediately with fans, drawing parallels to Lisa Marie Presley’s heartfelt homages to her father, Elvis. In both families, the loss of an icon extends beyond public mourning—it is intensely personal, touching the very core of those who knew the superstar as a parent, mentor, or family member.

Taryll spoke openly about the deep bond he shared with Michael, who often guided him and his brothers, Taj and TJ, both musically and personally.

“There isn’t a day I don’t think about him,” he wrote. “He gave the world everything, but he gave me something greater—his time, his belief in me, his love.”

The tribute coincided with what would have been Michael’s 67th birthday, sparking an outpouring of admiration and shared grief from fans worldwide. Many highlighted the similarities between the Jacksons’ and Presleys’ experiences: the family’s private heartbreak is magnified by the public’s love and attention, yet at its heart lies a deeply human story of loss, love, and remembrance.

Taryll concluded his moving message with words that reflected both reverence and intimacy:

“He was my Uncle Michael, but to the world—he was light, he was magic, he was music itself.”

Fans echoed Taryll’s sentiment across social media, reminding the world that Michael Jackson’s enduring influence lives not just in his music and iconic performances, but in the hearts of the family who continue to mourn, celebrate, and carry forward his legacy.

“The Presley and Jackson families carry pain the rest of us can only imagine,” one fan tweeted. “They didn’t just lose stars. They lost their compass.”

As tributes continue to flow, Taryll’s words serve as a poignant reminder: behind every legendary performer is a family still healing, still remembering, and still calling him King.
