Jo'Ziah Lamar Young-Ross, 7, departed this life unexpectedly March 5, 2026. Known as "Jojo" to all who loved him; he was born February 21, 2019 to Amber Young and Jenal Ross.

Jo'Ziah attended Glenwood Elementary; a Kindergartner in Mr. Lord's class. He was a sweet and caring kid with a comical spirit. And he always greeted everyone with a smile!

Jo'Ziah had a special love for Spider-Man. 🕷️❤️ To him, Spider-Man wasn't just a superhero — Spider-Man was bravery, adventure, and the belief that even someone small could be incredibly strong. Jo'Ziah's eyes would light up whenever he saw Spider-Man, and that joy is something we will always remember. Though his time here was short, the love, light, and superhero spirit Jo'Ziah carried will live in our hearts forever. Our little hero will always be remembered. 💙
