Support DeeDee in Honoring Kels' Legacy

Donation protected
Friday, September 20, 2024, the most loving, caring, genuine, comical, sincere man I know suddenly gained his wings. Jerry "Kels" Ballard was not only a friend, he was a father, a grandfather, a brother, a son, & everyone's "unc". Kels is loved by so many!

My heart breaks for his beautiful daughter, Desarae "DeeDee" Ballard, who recently blessed her father with his 1st granddaughter, Nyelani. Kels was such a proud grandfather. As our family mourns the loss of Kels, I ask that we all provide support to Kels' daughter DeeDee, who not only has to endure this traumatic loss, but at the age of 17 also has to find a financial means to bury her father. No child should have to go through this. No amount is too small, and all donations are appreciated. Please keep the family in your prayers.
