Ward was a father of four young children, his obituary said.
Javon’s true happiness was in spending time with his family, especially his children, parents, nieces, and nephews. His radiant smile and warm personality brightened every room. Third Street was more than just a location to Javon; it was his home base and community. Known for his generosity, he was always willing to help others, often giving the shirt off his back. His bond with his brother Najee was especially strong, as they were not just siblings but best friends.
His family held a funeral for him shortly after his killing.
