Honoring the Life and Legacy of Omari Linzell Williams ️

On November 3, our family experienced an unimaginable loss when my 18-year-old nephew, Omari Linzell Williams, tragically lost his life after being struck by a vehicle while walking to the store in his neighborhood.

Omari was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, and leader. At just 18 years old, he had already made an incredible impact on the lives of others. Through his online community, he created a space where people felt safe, supported, valued, and loved. He was intentional about sharing the love of God, encouraging others, and reminding people that they mattered.

Since his passing, we have learned just how many lives Omari touched. His kindness, compassion, and leadership reached far beyond what we could have imagined. We want his legacy to be remembered not for how his life ended, but for how he lived and loved others.

His passing has also strengthened our family's desire to advocate for safer streets and communities. Our children deserve sidewalks, speed bumps, proper lighting, and neighborhoods where they can walk and play safely. No family should have to experience this kind of heartbreak.

How Your Donations Will Help

I have organized this fundraiser on behalf of my sister, Omari's mother, and our family.

Omari’s funeral arrangements have already been taken care of. Donations will help provide meals for our family as we grieve, cover costs for Omari’s candlelight vigil, and support our efforts to honor his memory. Omari’s mother will receive and manage the funds raised through this GoFundMe.

Our hope is to continue the love, kindness, faith, and sense of community Omari shared with so many.

We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming love, prayers, and generosity shown to our family. Whether you donate, share his story, or simply keep us in your prayers, your support means more than words can express.

Omari may have only had 18 years with us, but the love he gave and the lives he touched will carry on for generations.

Thank you for helping us keep his legacy alive.

With love and gratitude,

Omari's Family
