I am fundraising on behalf of my cousin, Jovan Sr., whose son, Jovan Jr., tragically passed away. Jovan Sr. is the intended beneficiary of this fundraiser.

I created this fundraiser to support Jovan Sr. and help ease the financial burden associated with the loss of his son during this incredibly difficult time. I am Jovan Sr.’s cousin and am organizing this fundraiser on his behalf with his knowledge and permission.

The funds raised will be transferred to Jovan Sr., who will use them toward expenses and other financial needs related to the passing of his son, Jovan Jr. I am assisting him with managing the fundraiser so that he can focus on grieving and supporting his family during this difficult time.

Below you will find a message for Jovan Sr.

It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved son, Jovan "Junior" Stalworth Jr.

There are no words to describe the pain of losing a child. Junior was only 19 years old, and our family is struggling to come to terms with this heartbreaking loss. He was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. Anyone who knew Junior knew his smile, his kind heart, and the respect and love he showed to everyone around him.

While our family continues to process the unimaginable circumstances surrounding Junior's passing, our focus is on honoring his life, remembering the love he gave us, and giving him the homegoing he deserves. As we grieve, we are also faced with the unexpected financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses.

As a father, I never imagined I would have to say goodbye to my son so soon. If you are able to support our family with a donation, no matter the amount, it would mean more than words can express. Every contribution will go directly toward honoring Junior's memory and helping us give him the farewell he deserves.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and consider sharing this fundraiser. Every prayer, kind word, donation, and share brings us comfort during this incredibly difficult time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, generosity, and support. We will carry Junior in our hearts forever and are deeply grateful for every act of kindness shown to our family.

With love and gratitude,

Jovan Stalworth Sr. and Family
