Deontae L. Nelson-Briggs

What´s up D, it´s lil bro here. I´m about to be 22, can you believe it!? I´ve grown so much in so many ways since you´ve been gone and I am eternally for the time I got to spend with you on earth. I just wanted to say I love and miss you down here, but I know Heaven is treating you and Juli incredibly well! Keep watching over me and the fam big brother. I got us!

I met Deontae at the skating rink when I was about 15 yrs old
and I remember what a hard working, independent, sophisticated,
young man he was. He was only 16, and I remember him expressing to me that he sincerely wanted to be a christian and live the christian

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THE PAIN TO HEAL AND I PRAY THAT THE LORD GIVES YOU THE STRENGHT AND GUIDES YOU IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

I commend you, my dear Deontae Nelson_briggs to almighty God, and entrust you to your Creator. May you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth. May holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone forth from this life. May Christ, who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace. May Christ who died for you admit you into his garden of paradise. May Christ, the true Shepherd, embrace you as one of his flock. May he forgive all...

To all of Deontae's family and close friends:

You are all in my prayers, as is Deontae. Please remember that he's in a much better place now and he's watching over all of you. I know he will lend you all some of his own strength to help you get through his tragic loss. Meechie, I know you lost, not only a brother, but a best friend, but I'm confident that you'll live out all of your dreams with Deontae's hand on your shoulder...stay strong. If any of you need anything please...
