Lithonia, GA—Marcquon Thomas, affectionately known as "Diesel" or "Puff," has recently passed away, leaving his family, friends, and community heartbroken. Marcquon, who had been quietly battling an illness, was a cherished individual known for his kind nature and the deep bonds he shared with many.
His passing has left his family struggling to cover the costs of his funeral, as they were unprepared for this financial burden. Marcquon’s mother, Kim Weems, lovingly referred to as "Mama Kim," has organized a fundraiser to help with these expenses. She expressed her deep sorrow and gratitude, saying, "Marcquon was a sweet and caring person and had very many friends. Unfortunately, we did not have any life insurance and are in need of some help covering his funeral cost. We are asking for your help with donations, whether that’s food, financially, or anything you think could help us in this time of need. This would be greatly appreciated!"
The fundraiser has raised $350 so far, thanks to the generosity of donors such as Raymond Thomas, Antoinette Weems, and two anonymous supporters. The goal is to reach $10,000 to ensure Marcquon receives the proper farewell he deserves.
The outpouring of love and condolences on social media has been overwhelming. Mia Grimes shared a heartfelt tribute, saying, "It’s never really easy to say goodbye to someone you’ve once cared for, but we have to say goodbye to Marcquon Thomas. Not only did he love Nyla, but he also loved my children before we had Nyla, and for that, I’m forever grateful. Nyla, I’m so sorry you have to experience losing your dad. Although your heart may be broken, your dad made sure that he not only told you BUT showed you how much he loved you. He taught you the values of life and never let anyone mistreat you, to stand up for yourself and always hustle hard."
Others, like Miki Turner, Wanda J Elzy, and Corliss Norman, have also sent their condolences, offering prayers and support to the grieving family.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Marcquon Thomas’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
