On October 6, 2009 a star was born. Throughout JR’s time on earth he was able to touch lives all across the country: San Diego, CA, Columbus, OH, Jacksonville, FL, and Nashville, TN. Having lived in 4 different states, JR quickly found that sports was a way to make meaningful connections. His passion for football, basketball, and track & field was evident to anyone who met him.
JR was in Mrs. Mullins’ 3rd grade class at Edmondson Elementary in Brentwood, TN. He left us to go to Heaven on October 31, 2018.
JR loved to laugh and make other people smile. He loved to watch highlights of Odell Beckham Jr., Steph Curry, and Kobe Bryant. He loved to play video games; not until his homework was done though 😉. He loved Bruno Mars and hiding snacks everywhere in the house. But most of all, he loved his family.
JR’s memories live through his family: parents Chris and Brittney; siblings Leilani, Jaylnn, and Kai; grandparents Carolina, Lisa, John and Jackie; uncles John Jr., Tony, and Zane; great-grandparents David Sr. and Veronica; and countless cousins, great-aunts and great-uncles.
