Hi my name is Araya, and I am writing on behalf of my family during this heartbreaking time.

We are devastated to share that we’ve lost someone so deeply loved.

LaMarcus lit up every room he entered—always joking, always smiling, and always lifting others up.

He was a devoted son & Husband, a wonderful cousin, and a loving big brother with a pure, kind heart.

While our original hope was to bring LaMarcus home to California, we were not able to raise enough in the short time we had. His services will now be held in Tennessee, where he passed.

This has created another huge challenge for our family—especially his mom and siblings—who must now travel last minute, round trip, from California to be there to say goodbye.

We are asking for support to help cover these unexpected travel expenses, as well as the costs of his services in Tennessee.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial strain on his family during this unimaginable time.

Even if you are unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping us in your prayers means the world.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and compassion as we honor LaMarcus’ memory.

He will forever be remembered for his laughter, his light, and his gentle heart.
