A good brother is now warra al shams ( behind the sun)

Jonathan Brunson, 41, was more than just the owner of P's Unfadeable Cuts, a barbershop in the heart of downtown Vallejo.
Brunson -- known as Paul or
simply "P" -- was a family man, described by many as someone ready to help all who came near his store.
Or so he was until he was gunned down Tuesday night, right outside his barbershop on Marin Street, just south of Georgia Street, leaving behind a fiancee and a daughter, Imini. She will celebrate her fourth birthday on Monday -- without her father.
"All my prayers go out to his family," said Ricardo Parada, a longtime friend who went to Vallejo High School with Brunson decades ago.

Armando Campos writes a message on the window of P's Unfadeable Cuts to his friend Jonathan 'Paul' Brunson, who was shot to death in the parking lot behind the barber shop Tuesday night. (Chris Riley/Times-Herald) locked doors Wednesday night. A window, now scrawled with messages of support and grief from the community, still bears a sign that says the barber shop would reopen at 9 a.m.
It never did.
At about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a shooting call on Marin Street and discovered Brunson shot in the torso. Police said witnesses describe the suspects as two black males in their late teens.
Brunson succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. There have been no developments to the case as of Wednesday night, police said.
"I kissed him on the forehead, and I told him I loved him," said James Brunson, Paul's brother and a Vallejo firefighter.

extended family.
An active youth, he taught his cousins many things, such as horseback riding to cousin Robert Gray Jr.
"I remember me and Paul used to take the horses and knock on people's doors, then ask if their kid would want to ride on the horse for a dollar," said Gray, noting how he and his favorite cousin always spent those dollars on candy.
Brunson was involved in the community and regularly engaged youth, said friends and family.
"He sees young men out here (in front of the barber shop), and he would talk to them like real men," said cousin Tanesha Hazzard.
Brunson would counsel the youth and try to teach them about etiquette, she said.
He also established a chess club for youth that practiced three days a week and regularly hired youngsters to work in his barbershop.
"He employed a lot of my youth," recalled David Salais, a local football coach who paid his respects in front of Unfadeable Cuts.
Brunson also hired cousin Omar Vann's sons.
"(He) showed them responsibility," Vann said.
Perhaps one of the greatest tributes to Brunson's impact on the community are the people who, like Salais and Parada, came out Wednesday night to express their grief.
"You see all different color people here," said a family friend, who asked not be named.

Peace to you and your family beloved...
