Hello everyone. My name is LJ and I am Deondre’s father. It’s so unfortunate that we now have to navigate this tragedy that has been brought to us. For those of you who knew Deondre aka Dee, Aka Missile Dee (football), aka Dee Red (uncle Cory) aka twin (dad) personally, I would say that we could all agree about how much of an amazing kid he was. Always so respectful, Never thought twice to lend a helping hand and always kept a beautiful smile on his face. He was truly a joy to be around. As the oldest of the bunch, all of his siblings on both sides of the family adored him and really looked up to him. Even Dougie our dog absolutely lit up every time Dee walked in the door lol.

While this is such a sad occasion, he would want us to keep the memories of him close, and to celebrate his life. We are asking our friends, family and loved ones to donate whatever you’re comfortable with to help us with the funeral arrangements. Thank you all so much for finding it in your hearts to help us with this difficult process. Words cannot describe how much we appreciate you.
