Help Us Honor the Life of Lasiah “Spyda”

On July 22, 2026, our family experienced an unimaginable tragedy. We lost our beloved Lasiah, affectionately known to so many as “Spyda” or “La.” He was only 15 years old and was preparing to begin his high school journey a new chapter filled with hopes, dreams, and endless possibilities.

Lasiah was more than a name. He was a loving son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend whose smile, energy, and presence touched everyone who knew him. His life was taken far too soon, leaving behind a family and community struggling to make sense of such a heartbreaking loss.

As we navigate this difficult time, we are asking for your support to help ease the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward giving Lasiah the beautiful homegoing he deserves and supporting our family during this painful time.

If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please keep our family in your prayers and share this fundraiser with others. Your kindness, generosity, and love mean more than words can express.

Thank you for helping us honor the life and memory of our sweet Lasiah. Though his time with us was far too short, his love and the impact he made will live on forever.

With gratitude,

The Family of Lasiah “Spyda/La”

I am Diamond Dortch (Manager of the Gofundme account) the Cousin of Lasiah Palmer and Jennifer Palmer. Funds raised will be sent to the family of Lasiah and Jennifer Palmer to cover funeral and moving expenses due to this tragedy. Thank you all for all your help
