It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden passing of our beloved Davonte Dowdy, at just 30 years old. His loss was completely unexpected, and our family is struggling to process this tragedy while also facing the many expenses that come with laying him to rest.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help raise $8,000 to cover the costs associated with Davonte’s funeral and celebration of life. We want to be able to honor him in the way he deserves, without the added weight of financial stress during this difficult time.

Davonte was loved by so many — his smile, his laugh, and his presence touched everyone who knew him. Losing him so suddenly has left a hole in our lives that can never be filled.

Any amount you feel driven to gift will help us focus on celebrating his life and saying goodbye. If you are not able to contribute financially, we ask that you please keep our family in your prayers and share this page with others.

Our family is truly grateful for the love, support, and kindness we’ve received during this heartbreaking time. Please continue to share your memories and photos of Davonte — they bring us comfort and strength as we try to process and grieve his sudden loss and honor his life.

With love and gratitude,
From our family
