TBR — RICHMOND, VA – August 1, 2018 – You never know how or when God will call you home and for Rufus “DJ X” Whitfield, his time came unexpectedly. It was on Saturday morning, July 28th when he was driving his SUV and it suddenly crashed. The single-car crash took place in the 3000 block of Broad Rock Boulevard in Chesterfield County, (minutes outside of Richmond) just before 10 a.m.
DJ X and the other passenger in the car were both transported to an area hospital where police announced that the driver died of his injuries. That driver was Rufus “DJ X” Whitfield who was loved by many.
When the phones started to ring and the news about his death started to spread later that evening, you could feel hearts being broken as tears started to flow from everyone who knew him.
