Dear friends, family and those who can feel what our family is feeling,

My name is Desiree Loatman. I am the eldest daughter of Rasheed Loatman, my very loving and amazing father. My mother, Deborah Centeno Loatman and my little sister, Jazmine Loatman and I, lost our rock, our protector and our friend, yesterday on June 12th, 2024. We are in deep pain over this loss and are working hard to make sure he gets a proper service, however our financials are making this difficult for us to achieve in time.

We just want our father to come to us. He was loved and cherished by his brothers, sisters and mother, my grandmother as well. I am writing this because our family needs to see him, bury him, celebrate him as the true pure spirit that he was, and lay him to rest with our ancestors. I want to say thank you to all the support we have been receiving and we are grateful for anything anyone can give our family for my father.

Thank you,

With love,

Desireé
