Ja'Heim Du'Juan Stevenson, 22, passed away on October 18, 2025. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri on June 15, 2003, to Rodney Gorham and Tracie Lynn Lovelady. 

Ja'Heim was a lifelong resident of Kansas City, earning the equivalent of a high school diploma from the Division of Youth Services. He had a bright fun-loving spirit. He was very creative and shared his talents through his brilliant rapping lyrics, busting a rhyme at any given time. He was also a basketball star; he loved challenging anyone on the court and would definitely "take'em to da hoop".

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Andrew Fry; his brother, Darryl Rogers Jr.; his sister, Tra'Vonne Thompson; his aunt, Judy Lovelady; his cousins: Otis Harris Jr. and Lance Lee Lovelady; and his great grandparents.

J.; his godmothers: Renee Mosby and JuJuan Carter; his bonus brothers: Kenan, Kobe and Jason; his bonus cousins: Kadeem and Ladell; and a host of other loving relative and friends.
