“Coronji Calhoun Sr. recently joined the ancestors in watching over me and our family on October 13, 2021.
“We are blown away by the outpouring of love the community and Coronji’s adopted family has shown during our process of grief. As we close this chapter, we ask that in your remembrance of him, you remember to love your neighbor as yourself, because that is what Coronji did for his entire community.”
