Support Wesley H. Davenport Jr.'s Dignified Farewell

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my beloved father, Wesley H. Davenport Jr., on December 12, 2024, at 7:30 PM. My dad was my world and losing him to Stage 4 cancer has left an unimaginable void in our hearts. As we come to terms with this loss, I am humbly reaching out for help to give him the burial he deserves.

Wesley was a man full of life, love, and laughter. He had a gift for bringing joy to those around him with his warm sense of humor and infectious smile. He loved cooking meals for his family, filling our home with the aroma of love and togetherness. When I was little, weekends with him were my happiest times—I’d visit him, and we’d share unforgettable moments walking through downtown. Those long walks became our special tradition, where he’d share stories, make jokes, and remind me of life’s simple beauty.

One of his favorite songs was "1 Thing" by Amerie, and whenever it came on, he couldn’t help but smile and nod along to the beat. It’s these memories—the laughter, the music, and his love for family—that I hold onto as I navigate this heartbreaking time.

Now, I need your help. As much as it pains me to ask, I am struggling to cover the costs of his burial. Your generosity will allow me to honor my dad’s memory and give him the dignified farewell he deserves. Any contribution, big or small, will make a world of difference, and I will be forever grateful for your kindness.

Thank you for reading my story and for considering supporting me during this difficult time. If you’re unable to donate, I kindly ask that you share this with others who may be able to help.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me honor my father’s beautiful life.

With gratitude,

Maria Ashley Davenport
