As a parent, regardless of the circumstances, you never imagine or even want to think that you’ll have to write an obituary for your child. When that day comes and you need to, you find yourself at a loss for words. After all, you only hope and pray that the roles would be reversed. Your children are supposed to be the ones doing this for you, not the other way around.

Sadly, for this Gholston family, God had other plans. Their young energetic loved one was taken from them way too soon. Even though he wasn’t able to celebrate his 16th birthday, or experience all that life could offer him as an adult, he will always and forever be in the hearts of family, friends, classmates and community.

Laron Antwan Gholston "Eugene”, 15 years, 11 months of Valdosta Georgia, Lwas born in Lowndes County on June 29, 2006, to Lorenzo Gholston Sr. and Parchell Gholston. He was called home on June 2, 2022, from his earthly body.
