Jayren Graham Memorial Fund

Jayren Graham was a member of the Regal family @DoubleTree Suites Miamisburg.  On Thursday night at approximately 11pm, he was shot point blank in the forehead, execution style on his way home, in the parking lot; after working his shift as a dishwasher.  He had spent the day helping us prepare for QA which was the next morning.  He was 19 years old. 

Jayren was a wonderful young man.  He was very well thought of by his coworkers and the first person to volunteer for anything extra or out of the ordinary.  Personally, I never heard an unkind or negative thing come out of his mouth.  He started his journey with us as a line cook, but quickly decided this wasn’t for him, and moved over to the dish tank.  Hard working, dedicated, and exceptionally bright; his loss is being felt deeply by his team at DoubleTree Suites. 

Throughout the investigation as to the cause of this tragedy it turns out to have been a personal situation out side of work, that just happened to play out in the DoubleTree Suites parking lot, by a 17-year-old boy.  Senseless violence and death.  

Regal Hospitality grieves with his family during this time.  He was raised by his grandmother, and she needs  help to pay for a proper funeral.  I want to challenge our Regal family and friends to help put one of our own to rest properly.
