Otis James Hubbard Jr., Dallas — The community is mourning the loss of Otis James Hubbard Jr., who passed away recently at the age of 39. Known affectionately as O.J., Otis struggled with sobriety and homelessness while battling congestive heart failure. He passed away on Sunday, July 21, 2024, just a month before his 40th birthday.
Toya "Jade" Green, O.J.’s sister, is organizing a fundraiser to cover the costs of his funeral and memorial service in Dallas. Jade shared heartfelt memories of her brother, reflecting on the bond they shared and the challenges they faced together. "He was like my first child before I had my own child, and I loved him dearly despite the challenges we had as adults," Jade expressed.
O.J. was raised by Jade while their mother was in prison for 22 years. Despite the hardships, their deep love and care for each other never wavered. Jade recalls the last time she saw him alive in the hospital, knowing it would be their final moments together. His heart was functioning at only 10% during that visit.
The fundraiser aims to raise $15,000 to bring O.J. home to Dallas and give him a proper farewell. As of now, there have been no donations, and Jade appeals to the family, community, and anyone who knew and loved O.J. to help during this heartbreaking time.
Jade’s poignant tribute to her brother reflects the pain of his loss and the hope that he is now at peace. "I got you and will always remember & hold you in my heart my sweet baby brother O.J. May you be welcomed in the loving arms of our Ancestors until we meet again…Ase ✨️✨," she wrote.
