I was Jasiah's preschool teacher when he was only a toddler. He was one of my favorites, he was so smart, and so funny. He was famous around the preschool for his hilarious facial expressions and his bold personality. Even at such a young age, he was so full of character and always ahead of the game.

I taught Jasiah a few times as a substitute teacher at JM, I never had an issue with him, he did most of what was asked of him and he was polite. I watched a boy grow into a man in those four years working and subbing in the school system. He was a great, great kid. I extend my condolences to Jasiah's family and friends at the school. May God bless them all.
