Rajhon House Celebration of Life

Rajhon House’s life was tragically cut short on June 28. A day that started with a visit to the YMCA with friends for a game of basketball turned serious when Rajhon suddenly collapsed on the court. Despite the quick response of Y staff to administer CPR, and the best efforts of emergency responders and health care professionals, Rajhon never woke up. He was taken off life support later that week. He was just 18. Rajhon’s family and friends and the Y community were numbed by the experience of losing someone so young in the prime of his life – and still without answers why. The YMCA of Northwest Florida has set up this GoFundMe account to raise money to help defray the family’s costs for his medical expenses and funeral. While we have been saddened by the sudden loss of someone so young, we stand together in hope and healing as we move forward. Donations will go directly to a special account set up by his father, Derian.

We are also uniting ourselves with Rajhon’s family and friends to honor his memory with a 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament on Aug. 14 at the Vickrey Center in Pensacola. Visit www.ymcanwfl.org to learn more.
