Damion Jacobs Obituary
Obituary published on Legacy.com by Nelson Memorial Gardens, Inc. - Fort Wayne on Feb. 17, 2026.
Damion Lamarr Jacobs, who was born on July 14, 2006, and departed this life on January 28, 2026.
Damion was preceded in death by his father, Damion Wheeler; his great-grandmothers, Occie Hood and Ruby Lamb; his great-grandfather, Donald Lamb Sr.; step-grandparents, Ruthie Jean Ellis, Gregory Lawrence, and his cousin, Allen Ruffin.
He leaves to cherish his loving memory his mother, Shera Lawrence; stepfather, Tyrone Lawrence; siblings, Kanarion Boykin and Tavaeh Lawrence; grandmothers, Melissa Jacobs, Bernice Jacobs, and Denise Wheeler; and grandfather, Donald Lamb Jr. He is also lovingly remembered by his godmother, Sheena Perry, and godfather, Josh Fleming.
Damion leaves behind a large and loving family, including his aunts Patricia Wheeler, Clara Wheeler, Sandrona Wheeler, Desire Jacobs, Temptaius Jacobs, LaDasha Jacobs, Tridonna Johnson, India McCarter, Sequoia Ackles, Tiana Ellis, and Shanetra Ellis; special aunt Jalynn Williams; and his uncles Corey Green, Isaac Green, Adonnis Jacobs, Neuman Jacobs, Donelle Lamb, Donnie Johnson, and Jerome Jacobs, along with a host of other aunts, uncles, cousins, and loved ones.
Damion was a bright light to everyone who knew him. His smile could brighten any room, and dancing was a must-music was his passion. He loved being around his family and was always flashy, dressed well, and full of confidence. He respected his elders and was both a lover and a fighter-determined, talented, and mature beyond his years, an old soul. He was well known and unforgettable-everyone knew "Mister He Had to Be Heard."
He loved picking with his brother every chance he got and always wanted to please others. Unique in every way, Damion was truly a grandma's boy and will forever be remembered as Gmas lil baby. He enjoyed fixing things-and sometimes breaking them too.
Damion proudly received his GED in early January 2026 and held a certificate in construction. Most importantly, he loved the Lord. He was baptized and accepted Christ at a young age, and he faithfully attended New Day Life Ministries under Apostle Denise Trimble, making sure he went even if he had to walk.

Letter To our son: To my son, the one who made me a mother, son, I can't begin to explain how I feel. My heart is crushed to know I will never see you physically again. You made me so proud of you, son. I will try not to question why this happened because I know NOW that you are truly safe in the arms of the lord you are with your dad now. Although this hurts me to say, rest peacefully, son, I love you, Mommy, mister butt, always and forever….Son, Damion,...Mr. Everything, I'm mind-boggled, hurt, and enraged. I try not to question what I can't control. I just hope and pray I can have the mental capacity to understand one day. You know my love is forever and always here. As I always promised, I got your mom and your baby brother. It's never bye, I'll see you later. Save me my spot
From Denise, The moment you left me, my heart split in two, one side filled with memories, the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy i do it every day; But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain. You see, life has gone on without you, but will never be the same
To Mom, Mama, don't you cry, don't you cry at all. I just hope god try to take me the right way. I'm just trying to stay safe, just trying to move you out of the state so Mama don't you cry don't you cry at all
