We mourn the passing of a remarkable individual whose life was a harmonious blend of music and passion.
From the age of just 18 months, he developed an undeniable talent for drumming that reverberated through countless hearts.
A connoisseur of music and a devotee of cars, his dual loves intertwined to create a symphony of joy.
His soul resonated most deeply with gospel melodies, which he shared generously with those around him. Above all, he cherished his family, their bond a melody that will linger in the hearts of all who knew him.
In his final beat, he leaves behind a legacy of rhythm and love that will endure for generations to come.
Family and friends are invited to call Saturday July 6, 2024 10am-11am at New Born Fellowship Church, 1550 N.Clinton Ave. Funeral services will begin at 11 am in the church sanctuary. Interment at Falls Cemetery.
