Jamarrion Damar Griffin

A Time To Be Born Jamarrion Damar Griffin was born on July 27, 2004, to Latoya Banks and Maurice Griffin Sr. in Orlando, Florida, with his twin brother, Omarrion Shamar Griffin. A Time To Live Jamarrion attended Orange County Public Schools and completed his secondary education in 2023. Jamarrion, affectionately known as “Jay,” played Pop Warner football, where he earned the nickname “Big Man”—a tribute to his strength and fearless spirit despite his small stature. Both on and off the field, he showed determination, heart, and a love for sports, and he was known for being very athletic. He was an Eagle Scout and served as a Youth Coordinator with Orange County, where he took pride in supporting and guiding others in his community. At the time of his passing, Jay took work seriously at Wingstop and also as a landscaper with LB Pro Cleaning Service. In his free time, Jay enjoyed fishing and gaming whenever he had a chance. Most of all, he cherished spending time with his loved ones, creating memories that will be forever treasured.

A Time To Transition One might have known him as a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin, or a dear friend—but to so many, he was simply someone you could always call on. His kindness, loyalty, and generous heart touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. On Friday, March 6, 2026, at 3:35p.m., the Lord gently called His angel home. As he entered the heavenly gates, he left behind a loving circle of family and friends whose hearts now carry both the sorrow of his absence and the comfort of cherished memories. Though he is no longer with us in body, his spirit lives on in the love he gave and the lives he touched, as we all hold on to the hope of the day we will see him again.
