Our family is heartbroken as we mourn the loss of Ja'meer Roberts.

At just 17 years old, Ja'meer had his whole future ahead of him. He was a student at William Allen High School, a dedicated employee at his after-school job, and most importantly, a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend.

As the oldest of five siblings, Ja'meer carried a special role within our family. He was looked up to by his younger brothers and sisters and loved by so many. Ja'meer was a sweetheart who loved deeply and was loved even deeper. He was funny, charismatic, and spent much of his time surrounded by the people he loved most. His smile, his presence, and the joy he brought to those around him will never be forgotten.

His loss has left an unimaginable void in the hearts of his family, friends, classmates, coworkers, and the entire community.

The outpouring of love, prayers, and support we have received is a testament to the impact Ja'meer had on those around him. As we navigate this devastating tragedy, we are asking for support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses and to give Ja'meer the homegoing he deserves.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated and will help ease the financial burden on our family during this difficult time. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you keep our family in your prayers and share this fundraiser with others.

In honoring Ja'meer's life, we also hope to bring awareness to the devastating impact of youth violence on families and communities.

Thank you for standing with our family, for your prayers, your generosity, and your support as we honor the life and memory of Ja'meer Roberts. He was deeply loved, and he will never be forgotten.
