ILOSM family, we are sending uplifting love and light to Jamie Foxx and his family today.
He has announced the death of his beloved sister, Deondra Dixon. She was only 36 years old. Many of you may recognize Deondra from her many public appearances with her big brother on red carpets and such. She had Down Syndrome and was always the warm, compassionate soul who had the ability to light up any room she entered.
In a heartbreaking online post, Jamie shared on Monday (October 26, 2020), he paid a touching tribute to his sister as he announced her passing:
“My heart is shattered into a million pieces… my beautiful loving sister Deondra has transitioned… I say transitioned because she will always be alive… anyone who knew my sis… knew that she was a bright light… I can’t tell you how many times we have had parties at the house where she has got on the dance floor and stolen the show… even gave her boyfriend @chrisbrownofficial a run for his money… well I know she is in heaven now dancing with her wings on…tho my pain is unbelievable I smile when I think of all of the great memories that she left me… my family… and her friends… from dancing in the blame it video… to Dancing on the Grammys… And becoming The ambassador to @globaldownsyndrome… from sliding down my stairs with a grin as wide as the rio grand… to serenading us with all of her music… Deondra you have left A hole in my heart… but I will fill it with all of the memories that you gave me … I love you with every ounce of me… our family is shattered but we will put the pieces back together with your love… and y’all please keep my family in your prayers… ”
We previously reported that Deondra had developed a great friendship with singer, Chris Brown, who Jamie says was her ultimate crush. In case you missed what Chris Brown always did for Deondra, you can read about it HERE.
Sadly, Jamie Foxx and his family have just lost a loved one whom they loved more than life itself; and the world’s light now shines a little dimmer without a beautiful soul like Deondra Dixon in it. May that queen rest in peace and power.
