Deon Wiley

It is with profound sorrow and an unshakeable love that we announce the passing of our beloved Deon Wiley III, who left this world far too soon on May 22, 2026, at the age of 17. Born on June 17, 2008, in Saginaw, Michigan, Deon graced our lives with his gentle spirit and unwavering kindness. Deon was the cherished son of Precious Sherman and Deon Wiley Jr., who nurtured his bright mind and compassionate heart. From a young age, he showed a deep interest in the world around him, and his curiosity was matched only by his boundless empathy for others. Deon had a profound impact on everyone he met, leaving behind a legacy of love and the call to justice that now echoes in our hearts. Though his time with us was short, Deon's presence was a beacon of hope and joy. He was known for his love of family gatherings, where his laughter and light-hearted spirit brought warmth and unity to all. Deon's passions were as vibrant as his personality, and he was a beloved member of his community, participating in various activities that highlighted his generous nature and his desire to make the world a better place. Our family extends our deepest gratitude to the many individuals who have shown support during this unimaginably difficult time. Your donations, shared posts, prayers, and comforting words have provided us with a strength that we never knew we had. Your kindness has been a balm to our aching hearts and a testament to the love Deon inspired in those around him. As we gather to celebrate Deon's life, we also commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice in his name. We believe that justice will be served in God's timing, and we stand united in our resolve to raise awareness and fight against gun violence. Deon's memory will guide us as we continue to SAY HIS NAME and honor his life through our actions. A memorial service to celebrate Deon's life will be held on June 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM at the Word Of Faith International Ministries, located at 500 N Washington Ave, Saginaw, Michigan, 48607. We invite all who knew and loved Deon to join us in remembering the joy he brought to our lives and the lasting impact he has left on our hearts. Deon Wiley III will forever be remembered as a cherished son, a beloved friend, and a symbol of hope and resilience. Though we grieve his loss, we also celebrate the love he shared and the indelible mark he left on this world. His spirit lives on in each of us, forever 17, forever loved, and forever remembered. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to organizations working to end gun violence, in honor of Deon's memory and his commitment to making a difference. #JusticeForDeon #DeonWileyIII #Forever17 #SayHisName #GunViolenceAwareness #LongLiveDeon #ForeverInOurHearts #GreenHeartsForDeon💚
