Support Funeral Expenses for 10-Year-Old Torres L Johnson II

Friends, Family, and Community,

It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to all of you today. Our community is mourning the tragic loss of 10-year-old Torres L. Johnson, II, a bright young soul whose life was taken far too soon. No family should have to bear the unimaginable pain of losing a child, and no parent should ever have to worry about how they will give their child a proper goodbye.

In this time of overwhelming sorrow, I am calling on our community to come together to help ease the burden on Torres’s family. Together, we can provide the support they need to give Lamar the funeral he deserves. Any donation—no matter how small—will make a difference in helping his family through this incredibly difficult time.

Our goal is to raise enough funds to cover the funeral and memorial expenses, so Torres's family can focus on grieving and healing, rather than financial stress. In addition to this GoFundMe page, a memorial account at Busey Bank has been established where donations can be made at any local branch.

We all go through difficult times in our lives, but losing a child is a pain like no other. And to face that loss without support is even more devastating.

Torres’s life, though short, touched the hearts of many. Let us come together as a community and show his family that they are not alone. Your generosity, prayers, and support during this tragic time will mean the world to them.

The funds raised will be used to cover funeral expenses and any additional family-related costs.

Matthew 19:14

"But Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.’"

Please donate what you can and share this page to spread the word. Together, we can make a difference for Lamar’s family.

Thank you for your kindness and support,

Briggett Carter-Meachem
