Efonsha who like to go by Chris was the beloved son of the late Linda Cooks and Kenneth Graham. He was a proud father to his beautiful daughter, Damaris Michell Taylor, whom he loved deeply. Chris was the second eldest of his mother's children, and his life was richly blessed with a large and loving family. He is survived by his siblings: Brian, Porsche, LaToya, Dwayne, James, Demetra, Tyler, Christopher, Khadeeja, Treyvon, (Angel) Brittani, Alexander, Leander, and Brandon. As well as a several nieces and nephews. Raised in the loving care of his great aunt Inree Eaton Webb, Efonsha(Chris) grew up attending Christ Temple Apostolic Church, where his faith in God was nurtured. Though life brought its share of struggles, He never wavered in his belief in the Lord. He was passionate about sharing the Word of God, uplifting others, and offering encouragement and spiritual guidance wherever he could. Efonsha was known for his big personality, sharp sense of humor, and ability to make everyone laugh. He had a deep love for fashion and carried himself with style and confidence. Music, dancing, and good food were among his joys, but above all, he cherished time spent with his family and friends. Downtown Sacramento was his stomping ground, where he built lifelong bonds and lasting memories. He held a special closeness with his aunts Brenda and Jessica, and his cousins, who brought him much joy throughout his life. His Friends Ken, Mecca, Amanda and especially his best friend Anthony and Anthony's family were like extended family to him, offering a bond that spanned a lifetime. Efonsha will also be remembered for his loyalty, always showing up for those he loved, rarely missing an event, and supporting his family and friends in their times of need. Efonsha's life was a testament to resilience, faith, and love. His laughter, kindness, and presence will be forever missed but never forgotten. The Repass is to be continued at later Time.. (Main Photo for front of u can make clearer) Poem Reading-Porche Taylor FOR MY BIG BROTHER You showed me a lot of things. I learned a lot I didn't know, But you forgot to teach me one last thing – How to let you go. I know you didn't mean to leave me; Sometimes we have no choice. I miss being your little sister, Hearing my name called by your voice. I wish I got to say "I Love You" Before you were given to the sky. If God could grant me one last wish, I'd ask to say "Goodbye." You always meant a lot to me. I could never love you less, I know it's true when they say, "He only takes the best." Scripture- Peace and Rest Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe away every Tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore for the former things have passed away."
