Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

It is with great sorrow that we share the passing of Deonte Ray, a beloved son, brother, and friend who bravely fought leukemia until the very end. Deonte, known to many as “Lil Speedy,” was just 23 years old.

Deonte’s journey was one of courage, hope, and perseverance. From the moment his diagnosis was made, he faced each challenge with strength and an unbreakable spirit. Despite the hardships, including financial struggles after losing work at Football Fanatics and pursuing his dreams, Deonte never gave up.

Now, his family needs your support more than ever. The costs associated with his medical care, hospital stays, and treatments have placed a heavy burden on those who loved him most. Additionally, they are facing the expenses of final arrangements and the difficult process of healing from this loss.

Your generosity will help ease the financial strain on Deonte’s family as they navigate this painful chapter and honor his memory. Every contribution, no matter the size, will provide comfort and relief during a time filled with grief and uncertainty.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Stephanie smith (His mother)
