Marcel Jones, a resident of Berkeley, CA, has sadly passed away, leaving his community and family in deep sorrow. Marcel was known for his dedication, kindness, and determination to build a better future for himself and his loved ones. He was enrolled in Rising Sun’s pre-apprenticeship program and was expected to graduate in just one week. His exceptional qualities were recognized as he had received the Arvin Naeole Award for Strength, Endurance, Resilience, and Leadership. Marcel was well on his way to a promising career in the construction trades.
Marcel’s passing, which occurred on August 25, has devastated those who knew him, particularly his mother and his three young children. He was living at the Harrison House, a homeless shelter in Berkeley, at the time of his death. His passing is being investigated as a tragic racist hate crime, and the person responsible is currently in custody.
To support Marcel’s family during this heartbreaking time, Rising Sun is organizing a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses. The goal is to raise $5,000, and so far, $100 has been donated by Julia Hatton. Marcel’s family deserves a fitting memorial to honor his contributions and his humanity.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Marcel’s family and friends during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace, and may his family find comfort and strength.
