His passing has left family, friends, teammates, and community members in deep grief as they remember a young life filled with promise, strength, and faith.
Born on April 26, 2008, Titus was deeply loved by his family and admired by all who knew him. Those closest to him describe a young man whose life reflected wisdom, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose.
