Aaliyah's boyfriend, Damon Dash, said losing Aaliyah was heartbreaking. "She was the best person he ever knew. ... He said he never met a person like her in his life," Damon said, every day that they were together, he cherished. Every memory — every day was a special event, whether it was going to a store or going to a movie or just sitting in a house. Wherever they were was like their own little party, in their own little world."
The couple shared the ability to thrive in varying social settings — from Harlem to the Hamptons and beyond — as well as a certain sense of humor, Damon remembered.
He said they just generally had a lot of fun together." He also said that although they were not formally engaged, he and Aaliyah had planned on getting married as soon as she had time, they were getting married — like after 'The Matrix,' " he said. "She was the one — she was definitely the one for me, he said. It wasn't an official proposal, we had just talked about it. Despite her fame, Aaliyah often traveled without security and delighted in such ordinary activities as grabbing some fast food, Dash said. "She would just carry herself like such a normal individual. We just would pop into McDonald's or Wendy's or something, and people just wouldn't believe it," he said.
