Remembering Jae: Support His Loving Family

Hi friends and family.

Tragically, Jae (Jerome/Rome) passed away suddenly on Saturday April 26, 2025, leaving behind a void that can NEVER be filled. His passing has left me and his 4 son's - Maurice, Jaylen, Isaiah, and Noah completely devastated, both emotionally and financially. As we navigate this difficult time, we are faced with unexpected expenses that we are struggling to meet.

Jae was the life of any place he walked into, whether it be his home, work, party, or a store. His presence spoke volumes and he was LOUD! He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, friend, and confidant to so many. He always wanted everyone to win in life! He touched the hearts of everyone he met. His sense of humor and loyalty to his loved ones was unmatched.

We are reaching out to our community for support. Your generous donations will help cover funeral costs and allow our family to focus on healing and remembering his wonderful life. We believe to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! We want to make sure heaven hears us celebrating his life. (You can also donate via Cash app: $phaith or Venmo: @Monique-Smith25939)

I will share a date for his services on this page and with various family members over the next few days.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Please share our story with others who may be able to help. It will help us honor Jae's memory during this heartbreaking time.

With love and gratitude,

Monique, Maurice, Jaylen, Isaiah, and Noah
