DeJuan, I miss you so much. Soon it will be two years since you have been gone but not a day goes by that I don't think about you. It has been so hard for all of us but your Mama is hurting the most. I wish that you didn't have to leave when you did. Life just does not look nor feel tge same without you. I love you so much, as if you were still here. One day we will see you again and nothing will ever separate us again. Rest on, my Grandson.
Your Mama

You will forever occupy a permenant place in my heart until we meet again. I love you endlessly. Your Auntie Keni

I miss my grandson DeJuan so much. Whenever I saw him he would tell me that he loved me before he would leave his Mom's house or before I would leave. He would also give me a hug. He was a good kid and I wish that he didn't have to leave us when he did. I love him so much. Just because a person dies, it doesn't mean our love for them dies.

I know there are no words that can ease your pain. My heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of your son, DeJuan. Sending healing prayers, and comfort during this sorrowful time.

I met this young man the day he received his apprenticeship certificate, as he was in the same class as my son. The joy I seen in his face, understanding what he accomplished was pure, enlightening and a glow of moving forward. It saddens me in this time to see yet another brother who was pursuing a better life for himself, taken away from us so soon. May God continue to keep, comfort & oversee this family as you deal with loss of your loved one. Praying for you all & just know that God has a plan for him even though it has caused pain for you. In Gods purpose we will never understand, but stay lifted in Christ, heads held high knowing that Dejaun is okay with the Lord. Celebrate the life through remembrance of Dejaun not sadness of him going home. It will be much joy, shout and dancing when you see him again. Peace, Love, Joy & celebration as the Lord is with you all.

DeJuan would always have a smile on his face when I saw him. And, wiukd guve a hug. He had a great mind for business and a desire to show others how to become successful.
My nephew, DeJuan, was one in a million. He loved, loved, loved his family and we certainly do love and miss him.
RIP Nephew.

To my precious, sweet grandson DeJuan. I love you so very much. Even though the Lord let me know that you are with Him, my heart is still broken in many pieces. DeJuan, you told me you would make me proud and you really did. I love you and will miss you until we meet again.
