In Loving Memory of Jamarion “JoJo” Brown
On May 24th, heaven gained an angel that this world wasn’t ready to let go of. Jamarion “JoJo” Brown was tragically taken from us far too soon, and the weight of this tragedy is being felt in every corner of our hearts.
JoJo was a junior at Henderson State University where he was living out his dream and love for playing ball. He wasn’t just a standout athlete who excelled on the court, he was a young man of quiet strength, deep faith, strong love and a light that radiated far beyond his years. He was the kind of person who made you laugh, feel seen, valued, and at peace. Whether you knew him as a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, teammate, classmate, or friend, JoJo left a mark that time cannot erase.
His parents, siblings, and entire family are devastated by this loss. They are now faced with the impossible, trying to navigate a world without their beloved JoJo in it. A world without his laugh, his presence, his hugs, and the beautiful future they all prayed for him. And though their hearts are broken, their faith remains. We believe that God is near to the brokenhearted, and that JoJo now rests in His perfect peace.
JoJo was covered by insurance, but the outpouring of love from the community has been overwhelming. So many have asked, “How can I help?” This GoFundMe is simply a space for those who want to give, to help ease the burden of unexpected expenses, to support this grieving family, and most of all, to honor the legacy of a life lived with light, purpose, and love.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain…” – Revelation 21:4
Let’s show up for JoJo the way he always showed up for others. Let’s surround his family with the love they so deeply deserve. And let’s never forget the impact of a young man who walked in faith and left a legacy of love.
