Rabon was many things to many people but to us he was Daddy, Pop, Granddaddy, or Pops. He was a hard working man and worked as long as his body allowed him. He had a love for family, Pepsi, hats, football, and wood working.
Dontericka, Matthew, and Demetrius said that he wasn’t only a father but a magician, comedian, or anything you needed. What makes him special is how unmatched and devoted his love for us was. He always, always put us first and never treated any of us differently from our other siblings. He was simply a true father in the realest sense. “Pops” was a clever man and we’re happy to say that some of it rubbed off on us. One thing we have taken after him is “resting my eyes” while watching television.
Rabon will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
