Jalen, it is such a shock to know you are gone. I truly enjoyed having you in my English class, being your homebound teacher, and guiding you through your teenage years. You took life head on, you had a passion for life and a desire to help look after your family. May you rest in peace.

I enjoyed being Jalen’s teacher and also his friend. We would visit during his walks and my bike rides through the neighborhood. He was always so kind and pleasant. I miss Jalen but I count myself blessed to have known him.

I’m at a loss for words. You was the best person anyone could’ve asked to have close. You’re my brother. God only knows how much we wish we didn’t have to miss you. That you was still here. Rest easy Jalen.
