This sweet boy is Deaundre (Dre) Jack, the son and stepson of my childhood friends, Aka Smith and Heather Knight. He died Saturday night, killed by gun violence. He would have been 20 today. Dre’s family needs help to give him a proper funeral. If you can help in any way, please do. In any case, please keep Dre’s family in prayer, especially his stepbrother and best buddy. This is breaking so many hearts. Arrangements are still being decided, so the date given here is an estimate. https://patch.com/virginia/oldtownalexandria/man-gunshot-wounds-found-dead-alexandria-police
