Ja attended Elmira High School for his first and second years and graduated from Ambridge High School. Ja excelled at academics and sports. He played baseball and football throughout high school and graduated on the honor roll.

Ja was a great person! He was handsome, intelligent, and caring. He always took care of others before himself. Ja was good at everything he did. He made many friends and touched many people's hearts throughout his life. Everyone loved Ja! He was a joy to be around. Ja loved his family and friends and was very easy to talk to. He was respectful and was respected throughout his life. When Ja walked into the room, he naturally would grab your attention. Ja was the oldest brother, grandson, and cousin of the family. All the kids always looked up to him. They loved that he could dunk a basketball. Ja liked music, cars, clothes, and sports. He enjoyed driving his and his family’s sports cars. His favorite cars were Dodge Charger Scat Packs and Hellcats. Ja had both cars during his life. He was artistic; Ja liked creating music and photography. Ja made songs expressing events and people in his life and always took many pictures of himself, his family, friends, and cars. Ja was always up to speed on fashion and always dressed well. He was a sneakerhead and always had a fresh pair. Ja will be greatly missed!
