Remembering Alando's Vibrant Spirit

Honoring the Legacy of Alando Reeves: A Man Who Gave So Much

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Alando Reeves—a man whose presence was a force of nature, whose laughter could shake walls, and whose love for his family, community, and the youth he mentored was immeasurable.

Alando was vibrant. He lived in full color—never muted, never dull. His joy was infectious, his optimism unwavering, and his kindness knew no bounds. Whether he was working with young people, encouraging them to believe in themselves, or cracking an unfiltered joke that had everyone in stitches, Alando had a gift: he made life feel lighter.

His passion for education and community was not just a job; it was his calling. He believed in the power of young minds, in the potential of every child he worked with, and in the importance of building a strong foundation for future generations. Through mentorship, leadership, and sheer dedication, he left a lasting impact on so many lives.

Beyond his work, Alando was a devoted father, a man who filled his home with music—Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross—and a soundtrack that will echo through generations. His lessons of resilience, joy, and unwavering belief that things will always work out remain with those he loved.

As we navigate life without him, we choose to honor his spirit by carrying forward his love, laughter, and legacy. In that spirit, we ask for your support to help his family during this difficult time—whether to ease financial burdens, continue his work in the community, or simply give back in the way he always did.

If Alando ever made you laugh, lifted your spirits, or inspired you to believe in something bigger than yourself, we invite you to donate, share, and help us keep his light shining.

Today, we choose to smile.

Today, we choose to be grateful.

Today, we honor Alando Reeves.
