Heavy D's real name was Dwight Arrington Myers. He died in 2011 from a pulmonary embolism caused by a blood clot in his leg."This town has been the backbone for many of us, but for my family it has been the backbone. We love Mount Vernon," said Eulahlee Lee Myers, Heavy D's mother. The statue was designed by artist Eto Otitigbe, who said his vision for the art installation was inspired by Heavy D.
