A native of Trenton, Daqueece attended Trenton Central High School, according to his social media page.
More recently, Daqueece moved to Dallas, Texas, to “start a new life,” according to a GoFundMe launched by Thomasina Ortiz, who described him as a cousin.
“He bettered himself, became a manager at his local Popeyes, but tragedy struck,” Ortiz writes. “My young cousin passed in his sleep.”
The campaign has a $5,000 goal.
“Now my family is asking for help to bring him home and give him a proper burial,” writes Ortiz. Anything is helpful.”
Daqueece’s funeral will be held at Hughes Funeral Home in Trenton on Monday, August 29.
