Celebration of Life For Darion D Byrd
Donation protected
My name is Laquanda Byrd, and I'm the mother of Darion Byrd, aka "Tootie." My son suffered a traumatic brain injury from a near-drowning accident on May 24, 2005, one week prior to his 14th birthday. Darion went from being a vibrant, athletic football player who loved his Lakeland Storm teammates, coaches, and staff to requiring 24-hour care due to his injuries. The family was blessed with 19 more years to care for, express their love, and receive love from Darion while caring for him at home. On November 20, 2024, at the age of 33, God called Darion home during a peaceful transition in his sleep.
While we, the family, continue to pray for comfort and peace, we are asking for donations to help cover the cost of Darion's memorial service. We want to honor his memory and celebrate his life with family and friends.
Our family would like to thank everyone in advance who is able to give at this difficult time.
Donations are also accepted via cashapp to $LaLa33809 or zelle.
