I thank GOD that I was there at your birth and there at your passing...    Am so full of questions to Jesus..   my dear little one , you are a blessing n beautiful soul.  Your mom n sisters look forward to the day we will see you again.    It's been 5 months n it seems like yesterday. You are dearly missed n love by many.

To one of the most talented multi sport athletes the City of Toronto  has ever  produced. One of the funniest, most handsome individuals - ride or die brothers  and superstar teammate. I'll never forget our battles on the court representing the hood or on the gridiron representing our beautiful highschool Northern- winning City Championships in basketball  and football and then taking the subway home  with our pads  still on and dirt on our faces. We were  always just trying to break our generational curses . R.I.P J.T Legends never die!  

Hey Jehu
U was one talented and cute guy. When I last saw u at the beginning of the year u walked up to me and gave me a big hug, I haven't seen u in years. i asked u if you're okay because you looked like you were hurt/lost or like something was wrong and all you said was "I'm ok"..when I heard that you passed I was like woow that's so crazy and all I can see in my head was that look on your face when I asked u if u were good. That sad, poor ting look..its so sad man, mi feel it bad..RIP my brother I hope your free now..I will always miss u😢😢💔💔🙏🙏

Jehu, you were such a talented and consistent person since childhood. I appreciated our encounters, you always had a smile on your face - you were so down to earth and easy to converse with. I'll always remember that event where we ran into to each other in our early twenties after years of not seeing one another. I  could feel that sign of relief we had in seeing a familiar face amongst the crowd. You embraced me with open arms and we had a good laugh. Jehu it was a pleasure to know you. May you rest well in your departure, may God bless your family.  Love Lillian ♥️🙏🏿🕊️

Yo man this is rough for me. J you were my dawg!! Me, you ,manley and lewis started thunder the same year and  that was the gang! Fast forward all 4 of us go to the same university in bishop's.. I always said you and manley were the for sure leaguers .. you  should of never went to  BU you did not get the right chance. I remember us driving 12hrs  from Quebec 5 mans in the whip..  we all crashed at my mom's house, just to get to Windsor sports weekend.. to this day one of the most funniest and best times I ever had family .. I cant stop laughing lol the telly ..the rental.. the encounters .. when it was all said an done we were up in there Respected!  Jehu new like everybody... RIP my brother you in a better place than this.. tell Lewis I said wah gwan miss you guys.. see you guys soon

Jehu, i dont know where to start. This is still a shock to me. Cant believe your really gone. I used to see you around all the time or even came by the crib to just chill. I'll forever cherish the convos we had about tattoos cuz that was your thing. you were more than a friend , more like family. You'll be missed so much by so many . your infectious smile would light up a room. To Jennifer and the  family, hold your head up and stay strong Jehu is in a better place. Prayers up , rest easy love 

I don't even know where to begin, jehu but this is not a goodbye it's a see you later. The memories  with will never go away, especially when it came to basketball you would always tell me "you better drop 40 points or im not talking to you anymore". Despite that your energy was just one of a kind always making people laugh, I never had dull moment being around you. 
May your soul rest peace my brother I love you.🙏⚘

Jehu was such a funny and happy guy, growing up with him as kids he always had jokes and we would always play basketball or be on the track. I'm glad I had the opportunity to know him in my life and many others are too, he will be truly missed and never forgotten. Always had good and positive memories with him and as many who known him. I give my condolences to the family and bless you all. 

Jehu, I don’t know where to start and I can’t believe that I am even here writing this. I lost my mom around this time and buried her 17 years ago and I remember thinking 32 she was so young and had so much life to live... Now we are around the same age she was and all I can think is you are so young my dear friend. Loss is not something I do good with but I do say my heart is heavy because you truly did know how to lift me up and make me laugh and smile. You will truly be missed by many. May you Rest  in Eternal Peace🙏🏽🕊💕

Jehu had a smile that could light up a room, and when he opened up his mouth you couldn’t help but laugh because he was always saying or doing something funny. He was My Friend, Like my Brother we’ve argued, we’ve laughed together and we’ve cried together, Football was one place where nothing mattered for us we would go out on the field and play with our hearts then watch the game tapes and look at our highlights and talk about playing in the NFL..He dreamed big but had all the potential to make his dreams become reality.. That was Jehu a big dreamer filled with Talent,Love and Laughter.
Jehu I pray you’re resting in peace My Brother I Love you and thank you for all the memories
