Washington, Jamaar
Jeffrey
Rochester: Jamaar was born on Monday, June 9, 1980 in Rochester, NY. Jamaar received Jesus as his Savior at an early age at The Greater Adams Street Church of God by Faith under Dr. & Mrs. David C. Rourk. Throughout Jamaar's life he went through many transitions, but he always remembered the God and faith of his youth. In 2007, he became a member of Victorious Living Christian Life Center under the leadership of Deacon Michael & Pastor Barbara JP Thomas (Mom).
Jamaar loved sports. He played football several years for the Southwest Colts, this is where he received his nickname "Pee-wee", a name that was shortened to "P" as he became an adult. As a member of the Colts his small size, big heart, and determination was the beginning of Jamaar winning numerous athletic awards. Jamaar also proudly wore the #5 as a member of the Wilson Magnet High School Wildcats. In 1994 he was awarded the "Most Valuable Athlete of the Year Award". Jamaar volunteered faithfully at The Rochester Family Mission and eventually became an employee for the Mission's environmental services.
He was pre-deceased by his brother Michael Anthony Washington II, uncle Steve Washington, grandfather Willie Mack and his great-grandparents Eleanor Singleton and Ceola (Mattie) Washington.
Jamaar leaves to treasure his memory and legacy of love … His Fiancé: Monique Hopson; seven children: Amari Washington, Travis Rutley, Ian Florence, Jamaar Washington Jr., Jamaya Washington, JaNyla Washington and Azmhire Rollins; father: Michael (Sherri) Washington I; mother: Pastor Barbara JP (Michael) Thomas; two brothers: Warren (Sara) Meeks Jr., Sherod Salmon; four sisters: Shana Washington, Michelle Washington, Chanelle Washington, and Alexis Thomas; five nephews: Johnathan, Jaydon, Jasiri, Sean and Jahmeir; four nieces: Sari, Aunyx, Meya, Mi'Kayla; grandparents: Mortess Washington, Alfred (Gladys) Pitts, David (Dorothy) Singleton and Dorothy Ellis; and a host of other family and special friends. Jamaar was called home by his Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ on November 27, 2012.
Calling Hours: Saturday, December 8, 2012, 9:30am
Home Going Service: December 8, 2012, 11:00am. Both calling hours and home going service will be held at The Greater Adams Street Church of God by Faith, 230 Adams Street, Rochester, NY 14608.

Hi Jamaar, I miss you so much. I never really got to grieve for your death but i think about you know more than ever. I know your being a true warrior in the spirit realm. Come visit me in my dreams, so I know what to put on your alter. I try to think of memories of our childhood but it seems so distant but they come back to me at the right times. I know you would be so proud of me doing the work. Lifting our future kin from generational curses. " I do this for you guys" I know you would understand. I hate that youll never see me get married or meet my kids but we will meet again one day. I love you brothers.

It was difficult to release your brother Michael and turn around two years later and release you back to your FATHER (JESUS). My heart was broken. Jesus, your brother Warren and family are the only reason I can go on.
I am trying my best to take care of Warren as you guys requested. You know how he is. So, therefore, it´s not easy. I know the both of you are watching over him as well. He is making all of us proud. We said that we are going to serve God, and he is.
I cannot wait for our family reunion. What a time that will be. You know how we do it. As I said to your brother Mike, nothing can separate us!
Even though I can no longer see you with my eyes, Nor touch you with my hands, I can feel YOU in MY HEART. Always!
Love YOU always, my baby boy.

Had a great time today at a banquet honoring an elderly lady from the church who went to be with the Lord late last year. So many shared how they felt about loosing their love ones. I was the one praying for everyone then I realized how I wish you and Mikey was here. I told them if they could hold on to the memories and trust God they will make it. They asked as always how do you make it through the days and nights. You know my answer, Yes, with my Savior Jesus Christ, who assures me daily that He has the both of you in His Arms. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." When I get to heaven I will look for my Savior, then my boys, granddaughter Aunyx, family members, oh hey my best friend (my brother Stevie).
Love you always MOM

We were singing at a hospital and someone resembled you and he looked at me and said mom I miss my dad so very much. He would be so proud of me right now. You know I see his face in the sky when I am at school smiling down at me. I know he is with me I feel his smile.

Jamaar... Words Can't Explain How I Feel It's Almost Been A Year Since You've Been Gone, I Tell Myself That Your In California & I'll See You Soon.. I Miss You So Much!! It's Not A Day That I Don't Think About You... The First Time I Went To New York After Your Home Going, I Told My Mom We Gotta Go See Ja... I Choked On My Words & Began To Cry. I Miss You Like No Other. Everytime I Go To New York I Always Tell Myself I Don't Care How Much It Hurts I Gotta Go To The Grave Site & Talk To You. The Last Thing You Told Me Was To Make You Proud & To Go To College, & Do Something That Makes Me Happy & Don't Give Up... That's What I'm Doing. Your My Motivation To Get Thru School That's Why I'm In The Place Where I Am Now. I Have Your Picture On My Window So When I Come In From Class That's The First Face I See. I Imagine You Telling Me, Your Making Me Proud Keep It Up continue To Watch Over Me I Love You & I Miss You. I'll Come Talk To You Next Month (:

Jamaar, I never thought in a million years that you would not be around to see Ian grow up. He misses you so much. Gabby came over a few weeks ago and he told her " I guess I can't play football because my dad is not here anymore!" Gabby and I are going to make that happen. Just the other day he wanted to ride by the house, and he said "I miss coming over here with my dad, Monique and my brothers." I thank God everyday for blessing you with a strong loving woman like Monique. You would be so proud, she still checks on him and Ian does the same. I tell Ian everyday all though your dad is no longer here in the flesh he wants the very best from you. Words can not begin to express the love Ian has for you and how much he misses you!

PeeWee, You will forever be missed. Me and Dad cried together talking about how we all grew up together. We never know when God will take us home. I'm glad the last time we saw each other was positive and ended with an embrace. If you can see all the love you have out here you know that you were here for a purpose. May you rest in Peace.

Today I said my last goodbye to you. No I don't understand why someone would take you from us. As I sat in OUR church today where it all started I couldn't help but weep. I remember us always laughing when aunt Barbra and aunt Linda got the holy spirit us young and really not understanding it at that time. I sat reflecting how you Mikey and warren used to beat up me Tasha and teak to remind us that you will always be our big cousins. I will truly miss you I miss Mikey too. I know that you will live through your children and I know your in a better place but my heart has been ripped out of my chest over this. All I can do is keep all of the memories that we all shared and how GOD has always kept us... Aunt Barbara your strength and FAITH is what truly keeps me going I see you and always since I was a little girl seen how GOD has always moved in your life because how faithfull you are you bought so many people to church and introduced them to GOD you truly have a CROWN waiting for you cause if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know GOD I love you and I know God will always keep YOU love ALWAY jamila* I love you Mikey Warren and Jamaar 4 ever and always love you auntie Barbra and I will continue to PRAY
