With deepest sorrow, we announce the untimely passing of our beloved son, Jamar Edward Mathis, on March 24, 2026, at the tender age of 16. Born January 6, 2010, in the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jamar was a beacon of light and joy to all who knew him. His life, though tragically brief, was filled with love, laughter, and a spirit that touched everyone around him. Jamar was the cherished son of Edward Mathis and Marketta Atkins, who nurtured him with boundless love and strength. His infectious laughter and radiant smile left an indelible mark on all who met him and will remain etched in the hearts of his family and friends. Known for his warm heart and kind soul, Jamar was always ready to lend a hand or offer comforting words. His compassion and empathy were wise beyond his years, and his presence was a gift to those fortunate enough to know him. A lover of learning, Jamar embraced every opportunity to expand his mind.
