James Mentee, Louisville, KY—Community Remembers Local Business Owner

James Mentee, a beloved community member in Louisville, KY, tragically passed away recently. He was the owner of Sorettas Lounge, a popular hookah lounge that had rapidly gained success within just a few weeks of opening, growing from a modest 10 patrons to an impressive 400. His passing has left a deep void in the hearts of his loved ones and the community.

James was known for his determination and vision for Sorettas Lounge. His close friend, LaMichael Harris, who has organized a fundraiser in his honor, shared that James had expressed his hope for the lounge’s success just days before his untimely passing. Despite the rapid growth of the business, it is now shut down due to a lack of funding, leaving James’ dream in jeopardy.

The tragic event occurred at Sorettas Lounge, where James lost his life. His friend LaMichael spoke of how devastating the loss is, especially as it occurred on such a significant occasion—his fiancé’s birthday. The incident left a lasting impact on everyone who knew James, particularly LaMichael, who visits James’ grave frequently, still struggling to find answers and closure.

A fundraiser has been launched to keep James’ dream alive and reopen Sorettas Lounge in his memory. While no donations have been made yet, the community is being urged to help preserve his vision and support his legacy.

We extend our deepest sympathies to James Mentee’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
