The late DaJaun Collins was from Marysville, California. Tragically, he passed away in a car accident on Sunday, June 9, 2024. Known affectionately as “DJ,” DaJaun was a beloved 19-year-old who left an indelible mark on those around him through his creativity and kindness.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched by his family to support his memorial fund and help with the upcoming services. The goal is to raise $15,000 to alleviate the financial burden on his parents and allow them to focus on caring for themselves and DaJaun’s six siblings: DaWauntae, Josyah, Roman, Londyn, Zaccaii, and JazLynn. The fundraiser emphasizes the loving and thoughtful nature of DaJaun, describing him as a talented visual artist and budding music producer who touched the hearts of everyone he met.
Yesenia Cachú, DaJaun’s art teacher, shared her heartfelt memories on Facebook, stating, "Another tragic loss in our community. As his art teacher, I got the privilege to see his creations come to life. He had a big smile when talking about his art ideas and music. I won’t forget your smile, DaJaun. Please support his family by donating."
The community’s response has been one of sorrow and support. Sabrina Catlin expressed her condolences, saying, "I’m so sorry for your loss and my prayers go out to his family and friends."
Despite the profound grief, DaJaun’s family and community are coming together to remember his light and support each other through this difficult time. The GoFundMe page serves not only as a means to cover the funeral costs but also as a testament to DaJaun’s impact and the love he spread during his short but meaningful life.
