The late Darnell Forte was from Cleveland, Ohio. His untimely death has left his family and community in mourning and struggling to prepare for his funeral. Darnell’s mother, Selena Forte, is organizing a fundraiser to help cover the funeral expenses and support the family during this difficult time.
Darnell Forte passed away on June 27, 2024, at 2:56 pm due to a serious car accident. He collided with a tractor-trailer at East 41st Street and Payne Avenue. When Cleveland EMS arrived at the scene, they struggled to remove him from the wreckage and attempted resuscitation before transporting him to MetroHealth Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Cleveland Police Department Accident Unit is investigating the accident.
Darnell was the eldest of three siblings and had a close relationship with his uncle.

He was known for his kind-hearted nature, hard work, and passion for the Cleveland Browns. His love for sports and extensive knowledge of sports history made him a beloved figure among his family and friends.
Selena Forte has created a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $10,000 to help ease the family’s sudden loss.

The community is invited to contribute to the fundraiser, with any amount of charity being greatly appreciated.
The Forte family extends their gratitude in advance for the support and donations. This campaign represents a mother’s plea to give her son a proper farewell and reflects the collective need for community support in times of crisis.
