It is with unimaginable sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that Laverne Smith has lost her only son, .... who passed away unexpectedly on 06/08/2025. His passing has left a void that can never be filled, and a mother facing a grief no one expects or should ever have to endure.

DaDa was full of life, love, and promise. He brought light into the lives of everyone who knew him. Whether it was his smile, his kind heart, or his ability to make people laugh, he left an imprint on this world that will never fade.

Laverne now faces the overwhelming burden of not only grieving her beloved son but also managing unexpected funeral and memorial expenses. We are setting up this GoFundMe to help ease some of that burden and give her the space she needs to begin to heal.

All donations will go directly to Laverne to help cover:

Even if you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page. Your support, prayers, and love mean more than words can say. Let's surround Laverne with the compassion and community she needs during this devastating time.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

With love,

Her beloved coworkers and friends
