Funeral expenses for Sharquez Hill(BackpackShark)

Sharquez went missing on New Year's Eve 2022 and was found dead on New Year's Day 2023 in Washington DC. He was only 27 years old with his whole life ahead of him. Cooking was his passion. He loved preparing vegan meals for his family and friends. Shark was working towards owning his vegan food truck and restaurant. He also loved to dance, often posting his dance moves on Instagram and Facebook. He leaves behind his parents, siblings, family and friends who loved him dearly and are devasted by this loss. Shark’s light was so bright that it brought out an immeasurable amount of light into all he encountered.

We want to honor the celebration of life that he expressed before he passed away. Please know that your support means everything to us as we navigate thru this painful time. Nothing has prepared us for this immense feeling of loss and sorrow.

Many of you have reached out to us and have asked how you can help us during this time. We would really appreciate any donation, big or small, towards his celebration of life.

"My star shines bright like a Diamond! My light the sun, brightens any room I step in! Watch me, love me, embrace me."
