It is with unimaginable pain that we share the heartbreaking loss of our beloved son, Jai’hyon who was tragically taken from us at just 18 years old.

Our hearts are shattered. There are simply no words to describe the pain of losing our child — our joy, our light, our everything. Jai’hyon was full of life, love, and endless potential. He had a smile that could brighten any room and a heart that touched everyone he met.

He was an outstanding football athlete at E.E. Smith High School, but beyond the field, he was so much more — a loving son, a loyal friend, and a young man with the biggest dreams. He worked hard for everything he wanted and inspired everyone around him with his determination and spirit.

Jai'hyon was the kind of soul that left a lasting mark on people. His laughter, his energy, and his love for family will forever live in our hearts. We are so proud of the young man he became and heartbroken that his story ended far too soon.

We are asking for your love and support during this devastating time. Donations will go toward funeral and memorial expenses as we try to give our son the homegoing he deserves. Every prayer, every share, and every contribution means more than we can express.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing that Jai’hyon light will continue to shine through all the lives he touched.

Forever 18. Forever our baby. Rest in peace, Jai'hayon— we will love you always.
