In Loving Memory of Du'Juan Joseph West It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Du'Juan Joseph West, who left us far too soon on October 10, 2026. Born on August 10, 2003, in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana, Du'Juan was a beacon of light and hope, a cherished son, brother, and friend. Du'Juan was a young man of immense talent and promise, whose presence could light up any room. He grew up in a loving home under the nurturing care of his devoted mother, Susie West, who survives him. Du'Juan was the protective and loving older brother to his three sisters, A'morie, Q'yriee, and Jasmine West, who adored him and looked up to him as their hero. A lover of life and adventure, Du'Juan shared an unbreakable bond with his long-time girlfriend, Maranda. Together, they made countless memories, filled with laughter and love. Du'Juan was also blessed with the companionship of his best friends Hector, Tee, and Jizzle, who stood by his side through thick and thin. He was preceded in death by his beloved aunts, Connie Taylor and Mildred Taylor, whose memories he cherished deeply. Du'Juan is also survived by his uncle, Paul Taylor, and his brother-cousin, Leon Taylor, who held a special place in his heart. Family and friends will gather to celebrate Du'Juan's life on November 6, 2026, at 14:54, at the D.W. Brooks Funeral Home, located at 2950 E. Houston Street, San Antonio, Texas 78202.
