With tear-filled eyes and hearts weighed down by sorrow, we come together to share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved brother, DeShawn Guillory Smith. DeShawn was more than just a family member—he was a bright light in our lives, a source of laughter, love, and unending warmth. Anyone who knew him instantly recognized his big, expressive bubble eyes that sparkled with curiosity and kindness, his infectious goofy laugh that could lighten even the darkest of days, and the uniquely endearing energy that made every moment spent with him unforgettable.
His loss has created an immense void in our lives, one that words struggle to describe. The world feels a little dimmer without his smile and his presence. Every memory we hold is now tinged with bittersweet feelings—joy from the times we shared and pain from knowing we won’t share new ones. The absence of his voice, his laughter, and his comforting presence leaves us feeling lost, yet grateful for the time we had together.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
DeShawn’s spirit was truly one of a kind. He had a way of making everyone around him feel special, loved, and understood. Whether through a silly joke, a warm hug, or simply his genuine care, he touched countless hearts throughout his life. It’s in this spirit that we want to honor him—a man whose life was filled with love and who gave so much of himself to others.
As we try to navigate life without him, we are reaching out to our community, friends, and family for support in creating a memorial that reflects the incredible person DeShawn was. A place where his memory can be celebrated, and where those who loved him can find comfort and connection. In this challenging time, any contribution you can offer will be deeply appreciated. Your kindness will help us to give DeShawn the farewell he deserves and preserve the legacy of a life well lived.
We are so thankful for the outpouring of love and support we have already received. It is a reminder that DeShawn’s impact was far-reaching and that he will never be forgotten. We ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers as we continue to grieve, heal, and remember.
Thank you from the depths of our hearts for standing with us during this difficult journey. Your compassion means more than words can express. Together, we will carry DeShawn’s memory forward, honoring the joy, laughter, and love he shared so generously with all of us.
