Hi, my name is Tawnya and I am Michael Ball Jr.'s cousin. Michael unfortunately was found dead in Oakland, CA  around the beginning of April. Being that he was homeless at the time, his body was cremated. At this time his remains are being held and the cost of release is around $2,000. We are trying to raise money to get his remains released, and so that his friends and family can hold a memorial for him. Michael was survived by his son Mason, 12. Any funds donated beyond the goal will be sent to Mason.
