My brother Datwon will be missed and I really wished I cherished every moment we had together. He was loved by so many people. He was the person I came to about a lot of things when I didn’t know what to do. Datwon was a loving person and he put everybody and anybody first before himself. I hate that he never focused on himself but I love that he was trying his best. My brother was a goofy, smart, talented, loving soul and I’m going to miss being around himand his presence. My Aries twin will forever be in my heart. Everything I do now will be for him. All my successes are for him. I’m going to make you proud Twon-zari!

To my Brother, I love you and I miss you dearly. The bond we had was something nobody could break. Whenever I needed you, you were always there for me and my kids. And that’s something I will never forget. I know you’re watching down on us from heaven. - Love Ciya
