My name is Donovan Owens. My immediate family calls me Micheaux. I'm making this GoFundMe account in memory of my younger cousin, Brian Rashad Obama. He was murdered along with his best friend on April 10, 2024, at 3:30 in the morning. Brian was shot at point-blank in the back of the head and then driven to the other side of town where his killers dumped his body. Brian was 23 years old when he died, and he had a whole life in front of him. He was born on June 19, 2000, in the city of Macon, GA. He had a loving family here in Georgia and also abroad in Kenya. His mother and my mother were sisters, so he was my first cousin, but he was always more my little brother than anything. I miss him every day, and I can still hear his voice in my head.

I want to raise this money to get him an updated headstone and have a memorial at his grave site. Any donations would be appreciated, and thank you in advance if you do choose to help, or even if you cannot help but still took the time to read this.
