Thank you!
Karena Sheppard and Emmanuel Taylor have ended this fundraiser. Donations are no longer being accepted.
$2,634.00 was contributed to Help with Funeral Expenses and Burial by 37 people in memory of Lamar.
This memorial fundraising campaign is now closed.
Background
Our brother, uncle, and friend Lamar Jay was a bright light — funny, charismatic, and a true lover of music. His energy was contagious, his stories unforgettable, and his laughter could fill a room. He left us far too soon, passing away unexpectedly at a young age, and the loss is deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers, we invite you to make a donation to help the family cover the unexpected costs of his memorial service. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a way to honor his memory and support those who are grieving.
Thank you for helping us celebrate the life of someone who brought so much joy and soul into the world. 🎶🕊️
