Our family is heartbroken as we mourn the unimaginable loss of our beautiful Rayael Pearson (Rae-Rae) who was taken from us far too soon at just 14 years old. This was very unexpected and deeply devastating. 

Our Rae Rae was the kind of person who filled every room with laughter. She was bold, outspoken, hilarious, and full of energy. If something came to her mind, she was going to say it and she always kept it real lol. She loved making people laugh, joking around with everyone she loved, and bringing smiles wherever she went.

She had a deep love for music, especially rap, and if there was a beat playing, you could count on Rae Rae to be dancing or making TikToks. She loved volleyball, football, Hello Kitty, the color purple, and spending time with the people she loved. She was incredibly smart, affectionate, and had the biggest heart, especially for children. She dreamed of a future where she could work with kids because caring for others came so naturally to her.

While so many people knew her as fearless and outgoing, those closest to her also knew her softer side. Rae Rae could be shy, nervous, and deeply emotional. She was soo affectionate and loveddd cuddles and hugs. She had already endured the heartbreaking loss of her father four years ago, yet she continued to face life with strength, laughter, and love.

One thing Rae Rae was especially excited about was starting high school. She talked about it constantly and couldn’t wait for the experience. She made it through her very first day, but heartbreakingly, she never got the chance to see her second. She was soo excited she couldn’t even sleep the day before calling everybody to see her get ready.

After battling ongoing medical issues, our family experienced every parent’s worst nightmare. We lost our sweet Rae Rae far too soon, leaving behind her loving mother, six siblings, and countless family members and friends whose lives will never be the same.

We are asking for support to help our family during this unimaginable time. Donations will go toward funeral expenses, memorial services, a headstone, and helping ease the financial burden on her mother as she grieves the loss of her daughter. No parent should have to worry about returning to work while trying to bury their child. That’s an impossible task for a parent.

Every donation, no matter the amount, means more than words can express. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please keep our family in your prayers and share Rae Rae’s story.

Thank you for helping us honor the beautiful life of Rayael “Rae Rae” Pearson a young girl whose laughter was contagious, whose love was genuine, and whose memory will forever live in our hearts. ️

“Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day.”
