JaVontae known to his family and friends as "Muff" went home to be with the Lord on October 17, 2022 in Canton Ohio. JaVontae was born January 31, 2001, to Alfreeda Conner and Larry Grimes Jr. Muff was proceeded in death by his grandparents, Rose Marie Carter and Larry Grimes Sr, Alfred Hill Sr, Norma and Ronald Brown, Ben Conners; special grandfather William Brewton; uncles Kemp Long, Alfred Trey Hill, Allen Trent, Aunt Tina Washington, Cousin Tajon Burt (Tanny). PROUD TO BE MUFF Muff was simply beautiful inside and out. He was loved by so many people. Muff was genuinely loved every day of his life; from the day he was born. When Muff came home from the hospital, as an infant, he was so chubby his grandmother started calling him her muffin. As he grew older and started thinning out, he was so cute, he became Stud Muffin and once he became a teenager, he became Muff. He loved being Muff. The moment he turned 18 he said to his grandmother, I’m a man now, he looked at his mom and said I’m the Muffin Man with the biggest smile anyone ever wanted to see. Muff loved children. He could not be happier than having the children run up singing, do you know the muffin man and they would say we know the muffin man Uncle Muff; we knew you was the muffin man. Muff only allowed the children and his grandmother to call him Muffin Man. Just recently he informed his family and friends he now wants to be called Mr. Muff. Mr. Muff was truly a stand-up comedian. He loved to make you laugh. He had so much love and charisma in him and the potential within him was so obvious that the sky was the limit. He loved to rap, sing, dance, skate, act, eating pancakes and mimicking various actors. Mr. Muff loved his family, and his family loved him back. When we had family functions and it was time to leave, he would say, I love ya’ll, I got the bestest family in the world. He leaves to mourn his passing, his parents Alfreeda Conner and Larry Grimes, his grandmother Moniquec Conners of the home. stepparents Adrian (Nakeya) Burt; special grandparents, Debra Burt, Michael Brewton, Lillie Brewton; (4) brothers, Jwaun Burton Jr., Adrian Burt, Larry Grimes III, Jaimehz Grimes; (4) sisters, Kiera Conner, Imani Grimes, Lachae Grimes and Laylani Grimes; (20) Aunts, “Aunty” Barbara Conner, Katrice Ballard, Taletha Long, Shointa Smith, Patrice Calmese, Ciara Solomon, LaRae (Marlen) Seymour, Lisa Hall, Larrica Grimes, Imani Conner, Nakesha (Darcell) Anthony, Bridget Lilly, Chudney Conner, Lucinda Alexander, Samar Dillard, Gwen Brewton, Monica (Michael) Win, NyRubia Dillard, Daisy Mae Nix and Yolonda Burt; (15) Uncles, “Unk” Anthony Brewton, Douglas Hill, Carlos Smith, Ruben Paige, Kyle (April) Grimes, Derrick (Trenna) Grimes Sr., William (Alice) Long, Mark (Fatyia) Black, Eddie Collier, Ronnie Brown, Lonnie Brown, Ingram Brown, Bennie Conner, Calvin Conner, Jamal Brown, Carlos Conner, Dustin Bentley Sr., Booker (Thelma) Long, Gerold (Terri) Long, James (Rev Dr Sheiler) Stokes; Best Friends, Jasmyn Galpert, Damere Howell, Trezjon Allen, Quovadis Young, Antonio Wallace, GOD Grandpa Dr. Robert Jackson; a host of Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and Friends.
