Jamey Allen Ward

Jamey was born on September 29, 1993, in Indianapolis, Indiana to the proud parents of Deonna Lee and DeHarris (Dee) Ward.

Jamey graduated in 2012 earning his High School Diploma from Pike High School. He attended IVY Tech Truck Driving School in 2020 where he received his CDL (Commercial Driver’s License). Jamey held several jobs since the age of fifteen and went on to work for the Department of Public Works (DPW) and AAA.

Jamey had a lifelong dream to be a business owner. With his tenacity and resilience, he started his own company “Wards Transportation LLC” in 2021.

Jamey loved his family profoundly, especially his two beautiful sons, Brayden and JaKai Ward. He had an intense love for cars, food (especially chicken wings and his aunt’s mac & cheese) and he had an admiration for the finer things in life. Jamey was also known as the go-to-guy for absolutely anything from A-Z. He was a peace maker, humorous, and his charisma would light up a room. Jamey was extremely thoughtful, generous, and found pleasure out of helping others.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Joseph C. Lee Sr., and aunt Tuanita J. Lee.

He leaves to cherish, his two sons Brayden and JaKai Ward (their mother Kayla Blair), mother Deonna Lee, father DeHarris (Dee) Ward, stepfather James Hoyle, brothers Antonio Ward (Samantha), Jaden Hoyle, Jalen Ward, sister Erica Ward-Emmons, grandmothers Eva Talley-Sanders (Charles), Dorothy Baker, and a host of family and friends.
