Raylon and Baby Rio Smith

My name is Ramone Smith and I am the brother of Raylon Smith. My brother and his family were tragically killed in an auto accident on Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at the corner of Shelby Drive and Mill Branch Road in Memphis, TN. Raylon, his fiancé, Asia McDaniels-Perkins and their one-year-old son did not survive. Their three-year-old daughter Europe is the lone survivor of the accident.

Raylon and Asia loved their daughter Europe and son Rio immensely. With so many years of life ahead of them, they were tragically taken away from us due to reckless, senseless and ignorant driving.

I am not one that normally

seeks assistance or charity as I am gainfully employed however, given the tragic circumstances, the financial burden is more than I can bear. We are asking for your support to help us alleviate the costs of their final funeral arrangements. We are not seeking anything more than helping us bury our loved ones. We only need assistance to help with the funeral costs.

Anything that you can give is appreciated. Even if you are not able to give, we do need your consistent prayers as the road to recovery for baby Europe is long as she has a broken pelvis, broken femur, lacerated liver, and lacerated spleen, and will require ongoing physical therapy.
