Raekwon Ace Nixon - Memorial Fund

Musician, beloved son, and so much more—Raekwon Ace Nixon, 24, lived life to the fullest and was tragically killed Saturday, July 18, 2020, in a hit and run in Durham, North Carolina.

Rae, as his mother Portia affectionately called him, was riding his motorcycle when a driver turned onto his path on Halloway Street and North Hyde Avenue, striking him (ABC News).

On May 23, 2020, Rae posted “Life is too short. LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE IT’S YA LAST!!” on Facebook.

Rae did and he was taken from us way too soon.

Please help his wonderful, loving mother Portia by donating to Rae’s memorial fund.  Even $1 will help alleviate some of the economic stress of a funeral service.  No mother should ever have to bury her child.

All donations will go directly to Rae’s mother Portia for a memorial service and funeral expenses.

Check out Rae’s music, under the artist name Kwonayvious:

Beautiful, fun-loving young man taken way too soon!
