In Loving Memory to My Wonderful Son

In Memory of

Dad

There is no else on earth So special as you were to me.

I hold you forever, my precious Dad, In my heart and memory.

You made me laugh each single day, You really were the best, And even though you are not here, The time we has was blessed.

I wish I had just one more chance To see that tender smile, To laugh with you again, My Dad, Just for a little while.

So, this is not goodbye And this is not goodnight, Because you’re still here by my side Holding onto me so tight.

Of all the special gifts in life However great or small To have you as my Son Was the greatest gift of all.

A special time A special face A special Son I can’t replace, With an aching heart I whisper low I miss you Son And love you so.

Perhaps you sent a lovely coral Or sat quietly in a chair Perhaps you sent a funeral spray If so, we saw it there Perhaps you spoke the kindest words That any friend could say Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought of us that day Whatever you did to console our hearts We thank you so much, whatever the part.

Reflections of Life eflections

JTNibrito Sharrieff Dijah Williams, Sr. was born January 28, 1989, in Memphis Dijah and Dawn Williams. He was their one and only son. Jibri

accepted Christ at the age of 9 at Greater Lewis St. M.B Church. He graduated with honors from Raleigh Egypt High School in 2007. in March of 2015, he graduated from ITT Technical Institute with an Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering. Jibri loved music, he played the trumpet in Humes Jr. High School Band. As a teenager, he formed a rap group called “Young Donz” which included one of his favorite cousins Quintresa Scott. They won many trophies as well as cash prizes. He was an entrepreneur with lawn service and mobile mechanic service. Jibri was the life of the party but most of all he loved his family with whole heart and soul. He married Akio Taylor on December 12, 2015, and to this union, 3 children were born.

On July 7, 2021, chapter thirty-two would be Jibri’s final chapter. His grandmother Odessa Scott and Uncle Raymond Pratt Jr. proceeded him in death. Jibri will truly be missed by everyone. Especially his three children, siblings, and loving parents. We love you more than words could express.

He leaves to cherish his memories two sons: Jibri Jr., Jabari: a daughter Jakia. His Parents Dijah and Dawn Williams; 3 sisters Rodchickia (Tremarcus) Khadijah (Desmond) of Memphis TN, Shanetta (Carlos), a brother Dijah Jr. (Tiphany); grandparents Katherina and Fred Williams all of California. 5 Aunts & 4 Uncles, eight nephews, four nieces, a best friend Terrance Hull and a host of cousins, other relatives, and friends.

Brother You gave no one a last farewell, Nor ever said good-bye.

You were gone before we knew it, and oly God knows why.

A million times we will miss you.

If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. \In life we loved you dearly.

In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place, no one else can fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God took you home.

We will meet again someday I know in a better place.

I thank God He made you our brother While you were here on earth
