Hi, my name is Tilisha, and I am fundraising in memory of my son, Marquis Williams, whose life was tragically cut short at the age of 28 years old on January 14. Our family is heartbroken into pieces and still trying to understand how to move forward without him. Marquis was more than just my son; he was a loving, protective, and deeply caring man who meant so much to everyone who knew him. The person he loved most in this world was his one and only daughter, Faith. Everything he did, he did with her in mind. He wanted to be there to watch her grow, to guide her, and to cheer her on in life.

Losing Marquis so suddenly has left our family in pain, and we were not prepared emotionally for this loss. We are asking for any help to cover his funeral and final expenses so we can honor him with the dignity and love he deserves, and so that Faith can say goodbye to her father in a proper way. We are hoping to raise the amount needed. It is very hard for us to ask for help, but right now, we cannot do this alone. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference. If you are unable to give, sharing this page or keeping our family—especially his daughter Faith—in your prayers means more than we can express.

We don't want Marquis to be remembered only for the day we lost him, but for the way he lived. Memories like his big smile, how he always made people laugh, or the way his face lit up when he talked about Faith—that is how we will always remember him. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for supporting our family during this incredibly difficult time.

With love,

[Tilisha ]
