<div>Tavonte, or Tae, as he was affectionately known by his family,  although he stood large in stature, was as a gentle giant. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sadly, Tavonte, who had an enormous heart, filled compassion and love was snatched away from us in a shooting on the city’s east side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tae was at the location of the shooting to break up an altercation that involved someone who Tae had great love for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, the ones Tae has left behind are seeking support from the community to help us lay him down for his final rest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tavonte was a loving son, brother and devoted father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He shared a special love with all of his aunts and uncles. His greatest accomplishment was caring for his great uncle, who is also a retired veteran.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the face of stress, difficulties and challenges, Tae was able to overcome. His goals were high, but above all, he aimed to master himself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tae’s untimely and tragic death leaves his family to mourn his short life and all of his future aspirations. He was a 2022 Graduate of Edwin Denby High School and his scholarly and athletic mastery afforded him a scholarship to attend Finlandia University.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He welcomed his only child, Da'Nyla;  in April of 2024. Sadly, at only 20 years old, just starting his adult life and career as a CNA, Tae did not have life insurance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with sincere humility that our family seek community support to help properly arrange Tavonte's burial and preserve his legacy through his daughter Da'Nyla.
