Latoya Wofford bury her 1st born child

I don’t know what to say. My baby (Marcuis) was a fantastic boy, and he touched so many people, not only was Marcuis my oldest, he was my “ride or die.” Monday morning, my baby was thrown from the back of a moving car which led to him being on life support. Few days later, my angel got his wings. I haven’t still processed this whole thing, but let me try by letting you know more about my son.

Marcuis was graduating high school this year with a full 4-year band scholarship to Wilberforce University. He wanted to be an engineer. He rocked out with the Oak Park, MI, marching legions (band) for over five years. Not only was he in a band he was part of Iota and the step team. Marcuis was always the life of the party no matter where he went. He was getting ready to attend his high school prom and graduation. He worked so hard to make sure he graduated and showed me that he would become something great one day. He was such a free-spirited soul full of life and always ready for the next adventure. Marcuis always made sure that anyone in his circle was taken car of no matter what. Marcuis birthday is July 26th, my baby would have been 18 years old, man I can’t believe he didn't make it to his 18th birthday. He was such a typical teenager, who was trying to turn his life around. He had a job and was saving up money to band camp this summer.

I’m still at such a lost for words, but setting my emotions and pride to the side, I really need help and support of all my family and friends. Between medical bills, funeral cost, me taking off work to deal with this, I’m just at a total loss. But any help support and love is needed cause I was not ready for this.
