Jayz Agnew was a bright, compassionate young man with dreams that extended beyond his years. Born and raised in a loving family, he was known for his kindness, quick smile, and unwavering support for those around him. Whether he was offering help to a friend or lending a hand to a neighbor, Jayz embodied the spirit of giving.
On November 8, 2022, while raking leaves in the front yard of his family home, Jayz was tragically shot in an act of senseless gun violence. He succumbed to his injuries on November 11, 2022, leaving behind a devastated family and community.
Though his life was cut short, Jayz’s legacy lives on through the Jayz Agnew Foundation, established in his memory to carry forward the values he held dear—compassion, community, and hope. Jayz believed in the potential of every young person, no matter their circumstances, and it is through this belief that the Foundation seeks to make a lasting impact on the lives of teens in high-crime areas.
By providing mentorship, education, and a safe space for teens, the Jayz Agnew Foundation ensures that Jayz’s legacy continues to inspire and uplift. The Foundation’s efforts are a testament to Jayz’s belief that, with the proper support, every young person can overcome the challenges of violence and poverty to achieve a brighter, more peaceful future.
