On October 27, our beloved classmate, friend, and homie Ron James, fondly known as Blake Carrington, was called home.

Ron was truly one of a kind — his laughter, confidence, music, dance moves, and ability to connect with anyone left an unforgettable mark on everyone who knew him. We all have a “Ron story,” because he had a way of making every moment brighter and every person feel seen.

As we celebrate his life and legacy, we’re coming together to support his family during this difficult time. Please consider contributing to help ease their burden and honor Ron’s memory.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.

Love, SWD c/o '97 fam
