At 13 years old, we lost Dwayne Edward Williams, II  (DeuceMan) to Epithelioid Sarcoma Cancer (https://www.cancer.org/cancer/soft-tissue-sarcoma.html). Deuce's  life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives.  He was an outstanding student, graduating with honors from Great Oaks Academy in Warren, Michigan. His love for people pushed him to sign-up to be a “GoPal” where he tutored kids in K-3 grade.

He was accepted to the renowned International Academy and was looking forward to attending.  He was a member of the Roseville Red Sox baseball team and named MVP in the 2016 Championship game. 

He was an amazing artist, whose talent was commissioned by friends and family.   


Deuce and his cousin Madysen, created  Plush Pokemon Video Adventures on their own YouTube channel.  One of his video adventures, “7 Years Braixen and Greninja,” attracted more than 70,000 views.  You can see them at DandMplushfilms . 

In his memory, every dime of the funds collected will be to:
   Provide financial aid to students studying art.
   Helping students who have financial hardship to overcome.

The scholarship will require submission of artwork and a 200 word essay. We are hopeful that we can award the scholarship(s) moving forward beginning in July 2019.

Help us keep his memory alive!
