After a life of love and quiet grace, Teyon Elijah Ramsey of Columbia, MO has passed.
What remains is memory — and the gratitude of those he loved.
What we carry forward is the light others gave us.
Teyon Elijah Ramsey, lovingly known as "Tj," was born on October 8, 2010, in St. Louis, Missouri, to his devoted parents, Teyon Ramsey and Ericka Reynolds. He departed this life on April 30, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and light that will never be forgotten.
Tj was a vibrant, joyful spirit who truly was the life of the party. His smile could light up any room, and his humor and sweetness brought comfort and happiness to everyone who knew him. He had a special gift for connecting with others, always willing to lend a helping hand-especially to teachers and younger students, whom he encouraged to grow into leaders.
He had a deep love for gaming, spending countless happy hours playing Call of Duty, Apex, Roblox, and Fortnite. He also enjoyed anime, often sharing "nerd talk" moments with his mom that created cherished memories filled with laughter and bonding.
Tj leaves to cherish his memory his loving parents, Teyon Ramsey and Ericka Reynolds; his sisters, Kayden Jackson and Ta'liyah Ramsey; his grandparents, Detricha Townsend, Shalanda Ford, and Kevin Harris; his best friends, Payton Rowland and Jermaine Jackson; his cousin, Kesan McNeal; a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins, his coach Keith Jones, and many other friends and loved ones.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Mario Hoard and Eric Reynolds.
Though his time here was far too short, Tj's impact was immeasurable. His kindness, bright energy, and loving heart will live on in all who knew him.
Forever loved, forever missed.
LONG LIVE TEYON RAMSEY
