Nyier: funeral service and for his son for college

The world has lost an invaluable soul! Our beloved Nyier Cunningham, affectionately known by all that loved him as Nas, was such a beautiful spirit, with a multitude of amazing, talents and gifts. If you'd ever met him the experience was sure to leave you feeling blessed to have made his acquaintance. His persona was free-spirited and larger than life itself! He was so many things to so many people most importantly he was a son, and a brother but the most irreplaceable title he held was "Father".

Although cliquish nothing else would be fitting to describe him other than to say "this young man was way before his time". He was an artist of many creative talents and such a visionary. He was an instructor, he performed Parkour, taught martial arts, he was self-taught on 5 different instruments, and to hear him play the harmonica was impactful. His character was considerate, kind, loving, caring, thoughtful, lots of fun, and funny. He loved life and was often seen as "being different" but he wore the description of being different with pride. He was talkative, curious, and extremely interesting! You would never forget him once you've met him.

Our beloved Nyier "Nas" Cunningham was unexpectedly taken from us through a tragic and heinous event. In addition to the trauma of the event, the family is also being impacted by the sudden expenses to make arrangements for funeral services.

We are currently asking for donations to help the family cover the cost of Nyier's funeral services and any additional gifted monies would be saved in a trust fund for his son to use for college. Unfortunately, due to ongoing legality associated with his passing, we are unable to provide set a date or location at this time. We will provide updates on the funeral arrangements as soon as they have been confirmed.
