On September 2, 2025, our family’s lives changed forever. My little brother, Jontay Davis, was tragically murdered and left for dead at the back of St. Barnabas Hospital, discarded as if he were nothing. The pain and shock of losing him in such a heartbreaking and cruel way is something our family will carry forever.
Jontay was only 21 years old, full of life, dreams, and love for the people around him. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, and a friend who deserved so much more time here with us. Jontay also lived with autism, which gave him a unique and beautiful way of seeing the world. He touched everyone he met with his kindness, his big heart, and his special spirit.
Our family is devastated, but we are determined to honor his memory and fight for justice.
We are reaching out for support as we prepare to lay Jontay to rest. The funds raised will go toward his funeral and memorial expenses, as well as helping our family during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference.
We also ask that you keep Jontay’s name alive share his story, pray for justice, and stand with us as we fight to make sure his life is never forgotten.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this unimaginable time.
With love and gratitude,
The Davis Family
