Devante Davis Funeral Fund

Promising And Studious Young Man’s Life Cut Short By A Senseless Act Of Violence.On  01/06/17 Chanel 7 News WXYZ  reported on  a random and senseless act of violence that took the life of a young man seated in a parked car on Detroit’s Eastside.That young man was Devante Davis.   Devante Davis was a talented and loving young man.  He graduated from Arts Academy in The Woods High School and attended Wayne Community College.  He was diligently following his passion and  pursuing a career in graphic and game design.Devante was quiet and studious.  His murder has left his family devastated and police baffled. Detroit Police Sgt. Andrew Guntzviller noted “Any time that we have anybody just sitting out here in a car apparently minding their own business on a residential street and shot multiple times, it's very concerning."  In addition to struggling to understand how this tragedy could have happened, the family is struggling to cover Devante’s funeral expenses.  Devante’s mother, Latrese Bufkin, raised him and his brothers alone after his father passed away when he was very young. The family is still struggling to recoup financially and emotionally from the recent loss of  Latrese's mother, (Devante’s grandmother) who passed away after a long battle with cancer.  The family is completely devastated.  Latrese works at Walmart, however, her salary is not enough to cover all of the funeral related expenses. Devante did not have insurance.Any support, financial or emotional, that you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated and may be sent to:  Andrews Funeral Home on Gratiot Ave between 9am-3:30pm [phone redacted]
