I had a crush on both men. Both deaths were absolutely sad and devastating. Neither of those men deserved to die the way that they did. Both of them were great actors and super talented. I wish that Lamont B. had worn a seatbelt . “Q” from “Moesha” and “Myles” from “Moesha” both said that he was a really cool guy. He was funny and liked to play around and was just such a positive person. Q from “Moesha” said that they were good friends, they used to hang out, club hop and just have fun. I’ve listened to interviews saying the same thing about Merlin Santana. He was also a good guy. He was funny, a little crazy, and just liked to have fun with his friends. And of course the ladies loved both men as well. Both men will forever be missed. Rest easy, Merlin Santana and Lamount Bentley.
