My heart goes out to all of you in your time of unbelievable loss.

I knew Stephon when I ran the Homework Club at Deans Mill School many years ago. He was a wonderful kid and as so many have already remembered, his smile brought sunshine where ever he went.

I have always held a warm spot in my heart for Stephon. I cannot even begin to imagine your sorrow.

To Stephon's Family,

Stephon graduated in my class in 2015 and was a kind hearted athlete an amazing perosn who touched the lives of many, including mine. Although we were not close, I have many memories of him making the entire class laugh. I send my condolences out to his family as we all mourn the loss of someone who had so much more life to live.

Stephon was always so cute and shy as a little kid. I always remember his smile the day he graduated pre school with his cousin Sabrenna Dasilva. They grew up together and they graduated high school with the same smiles. Stephon, we may not have spoken often but you were never forgotten nor ever will be. Rest in heaven, we all will see you again.

So sorry to hear of Stephon's passing. He was a great kid and will be greatly missed by many. He had the nicest smile.
