Jayde Peters—The Washington D.C. community is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Jayde Peters, a dedicated teacher, and beloved member of the community. Jayde’s life was marked by resilience and love, having bravely battled sickle cell disease from a young age. Despite the challenges, she brought light to those around her with her vibrant spirit and unwavering commitment to her students, friends, and family.
Her passing on August 8, 2024, has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her. Jayde was not only a cherished girlfriend to Theo Ackah, who lovingly referred to her as "Peanut," but also a devoted sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. Theo shared the heartbreaking account of their last conversation, a FaceTime call the morning she passed, where Jayde mentioned feeling fatigued but hopeful about her upcoming discharge from the hospital. Unfortunately, she passed away later that morning, leaving her loved ones in shock and grief.
In the wake of this tragedy, Theo has organized a fundraiser to help give Jayde the farewell she deserves. The goal is to raise $10,000, and so far, $373 has been collected from seven generous donors, including contributions from Hania Bisat, Michael Stawizky, Daniel Howard, and others.
The community has expressed their sorrow and support on social media, with heartfelt messages pouring in from friends and loved ones. Kennycia Danyel wrote, "My heart is still so heavy. I have dreaded using my words as I can’t make them out. Losing my bestie, Jayde Peters this past Friday broke me. I’m angry that she’s gone. My ‘twin’ is really gone, and it hurts so bad." Others, like Kimberly Andreassen and Stephiepooh Waters, offered their condolences and support, with Kimberly stating, "I’m here if u need anything sis," and Stephiepooh adding, "That’s all the words you need. I love you."
The loss of Jayde has touched many, and the memories of her joyful presence will continue to inspire those who knew her. We extend our deepest condolences to her family and friends during this difficult time. May Jayde Peters rest in peace, and may her loved ones find strength and comfort in their memories of her.
