Help Us Lay Trashawn "Mankey" Steele to Rest

My name is JaShawn Steele, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my family as we mourn the heartbreaking loss of my twin brother, TraShawn “Mankey” Steele. He would have turned 34 this November.

Mankey was someone who truly cherished time with his close friends and family — his presence brought laughter, love, and unforgettable memories to everyone around him. Tragically, on Saturday, September 20th, his life was taken from us far too soon.

As we navigate this incredibly difficult time, we are now faced with the unexpected financial burden of laying him to rest. Our goal is to raise $6,000 to help cover funeral and burial costs. We understand that everyone has their own responsibilities and obligations, and we humbly ask — if it’s in your heart and within your means — for any support you can give.

No amount is too small, and every donation means the world to us. In times like these, emotional pain is heavy enough without the added weight of financial strain.

Thank you in advance for your kindness, your generosity, and for keeping our family in your thoughts.

With love and gratitude,

JaShawn Steele, The Steele Family, & The Jones Family
