Memories and Condolences
for Jarvis Sanks
Tameaka Davis
October 27, 2024
I didn´t know Jarvis Sanks on a personal level, well at least not that I can remember very well.
Let me start by saying how I got here. I was watching the Colorado vs. Cincinnati college football game last night (10/26/24) when I saw a young man on Cincinnati team go to the sidelines wearing #9 with the last name Sanks. I immediately looked him up online to see if he was from Columbus, Ga because I remembered a guy named Jasper Sanks that I remember that was really good in football that I think used to either live or be next door to my grandmothers house on Celia Dr in Columbus. I saw that it said Ja´Quan Sanks #9 was from Phenix City, AL but with further reading I saw that his birthplace was Columbus, Ga. I immediately text my cousin to ask her if she thought he was related to the Sanks we knew growing up. She said he probably was and that she would ask her husband because he still talks to Jasper all the time. Fast forward to this morning (10/27/24) I woke up and this was still on my mind. So I looked up Jasper Sanks. He has a Wikipedia page, which didn´t surprise me because I remembered that he was a great football player. I read the whole article and I saw that he had a twin brother that passed in 2008. So naturally I looked him up and found out the unfortunate news that brought me here to his obituary. After reading it I realized that the kid that I saw was Jarvis´ son which in turn makes him Jasper´s nephew. I only remember them vaguely because where I knew them from was my grandmother house where I was most of the time because I went to Eastway elementary until I was 11 years old and then we moved to Atlanta. I came back for my last two years of high school where I attended Shaw High school and I graduated in 1998 and joined the Navy in 1999. I say all of that to say I wasn´t fully engaged in all that was going on in Columbus, but I know that Jasper and Jarvis Sanks was a big deal. My cousin and her husband actually went to school with them at Carver.
I want to say that I´m so sorry for the Sanks family´s loss. I read most of the memories and condolences before I decided to leave one. The Sanks name carries so much weight. So much so that after all these years I still remembered it and what it was synonymous with (football in Columbus, GA) and it´s beautiful to see that it has carried on to the Sanks children. I read the post below from his son that was post on the day of his funeral and he said he was 13 years old and that he would make his father proud. It brought tears to my eyes. I know Jarvis is smiling and is a very proud father of his son for keeping his promise. I am so glad I was watching that game and saw him going to the sidelines after a play. Had I not seen that I´m not sure I would have ever found any of this out. I know going forward I will think of Jarvis and the Sanks family as a whole because Jarvis was buried on my 30th birthday. Which was significant because it´s a milestone birthday and I was deployed on that day to Afghanistan. I will add him to my thoughts and prayers going forward on my birthday. I will continue to keep the Sanks in my prayers. I pray that all of his kids are doing great in life and making their father proud and continue to make the name Sanks a name to remember. Wishing continued blessings.

As the month of December goes by the loss of Joe makes me very sad. I often think about the goods times with him being in my memories. Going up to Carver after the games; sitting in the stands with his parnets cherring the kids on to win. It was a blessed time in our lives. It was so good to see Mr. and Mrs Sanks at the game to support Joe Jr. I was happy to see them and they look so well. I was asurred that God is able to see us through our pain. I will be praying for you all and please pray for me.
Love Gloria Y. Hughley

I know that it has taken a while for me to write. Maybe cause I still can't believe that I won't hear you say what's up Shakenna ever again. You were one of a kind. And there will never be another you. I just want to thank you for the wonderful blessing you gave me. Because without you Kamri wouldn't be who she is. So thank you for being in our lives even if not for as long as we would want you to be. I still imagine running into you again, but until then. Rest In Peace!

To: Sanks Family,
I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to write. I lost my mother on Dec. 12, 2008. To let you know I'm heartbroken again. Joe always made me laugh when ever I saw him at Carver High School. I can remember when Mr. Sanks and Mrs. Sanks would sit in those stands to see our boys play that football. We would sit in the rain, the sun, and the cold weather to watch our babies play. I was glad to meet Jarvis and Jasper parents...good people. Thinking about Joe ...I still smile because when ever he saw me it was always "Hey Miss. Hughley". He always gave me a lot respect. Our family is with Jesus now. We will miss them forever.Keep praying because God is with us in our pain.

I miss you so much, But I know God does not make mistakes, It's been a month since you've been gone, I wake everyday and ask god please tell me I'm dreaming, My heavenly tells me my child you are not dreaming, He call my brother home because his time was up, And I know that he is in heaven smiling down on all his friends and family. Deep in my heart I know my brother didn't deserve to leave the way he did, but again God told me his time was up no matter how we look at it. We go to be ready, because he is coming back, And I know we will meet again in heaven one day. I love him and miss him so much and hurt so bad, God said by and by he will strength ,Dad, Mom, Me, Jasper, Jessica and the rest of the family, Love Your Sister , Demetrius Lashay Sanks, Thank You Jesus!

I ASKED GOD TO TELL ME "WHY"
wHY I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE JUST TO SAY GOODBYE.
ON JUST MEMORIES ALONE i SIMPLY CANT GET BY
WHY LORD, WHY DID MY JARVIS HAVE TO DIE! I WAKE EVERY MORNING
AND I PROMISE THAT I TRY. BUT I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MY JARVIS HAD TO DIE!
THE GOOD LORD SAID TO ME THAT JARVIS IS FINE.
AND I BETTER PULL MYSELF TOGETHER BECAUSE SOON WOULD BE MY TIME.
JARVIS WAS A GIFT FROM ME TO YOU. AND ON HIS FACE IS A SMILE.
PLEASE DONT QUESTION MY JUDGEMENT I BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG WHILE.
BUT GOD, I CANT STOP CRYING AND IM GROWING MORE WEARY.
HE SAID, I PROMISE IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE YOU START THE HEALING.
LIFE IS FULL OF HEARTACHE AND YOU SHOULD KNOW FIRSTHAND.
BUT GOD NEVER LIKE THIS, I REALLY LOVED THIS MAN. I LOVED THE WAY HE SMILED WHEN YOU THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO CRY.
i LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE WAS JUST A SPECIAL KIND OF GUY! PLEASE GOD, ALL I WANT IS SIMPLY TO SAY GOODBYE
GOD TOLD ME THAT WE WILL MEET AGAIN. BUT FOR NOW IM STILL AT WAR AND MY GOAL SHOULD BE TO WIN!
PULL YOUR SELF TOGETHER, IT WONT BE LONG NOW. KEEP ON FIGHTING THE FIGHT I KNOW YOUR ARE MY CHILD...
iN LOVING MEMORY OF JARVIS KENTRELL SANKS..I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. I HAVE TO GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT LOSING IT..PEOPLE LOSE LOVED ONES

To even imagine him gone is still so hard. He could drive you crazy and make you laugh at the same time. I thank god everyday for giving me the priviledge to know Jarvis. I hold on to the small things left behind by him to remind me of just how special he was to myself and my family. We love and miss him so much and plan to hold on to Jesus with all we have to be sure we see him again. Prayers go up for Mr. and Mrs. Sanks, Jasper, and Demetrius.
