With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we gather our words to honor the memory of Dontonyio Spruill, whose life was tragically cut short on the afternoon of November 7 in Cincinnati’s West End neighborhood.
Dontonyio was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose presence brought light and laughter to everyone who knew him. His kindness, strength, and unwavering love for his family and community will be remembered always. Though his time with us was far too brief, the impact of his spirit and the warmth of his heart will continue to live on in those who were blessed to share in his life.
As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we also celebrate the joy and love he brought into the world. May his memory be a source of comfort and strength, and may we honor his legacy by holding one another close and continuing the work of building a community filled with compassion and peace.
Rest in eternal peace, Dontonyio. You will never be forgotten.
