A
We
honored
to
name
this
field
after
Jemaine.
He'll
always
be
a
part
of
this
community.
His
memory
will
continue
to
live
on
this
beautiful
parks
been
23
years
since
me,
and
he
left
us
on
Halloween.
Just
a
few
streets
away
from
here.
I
know
that
not
a
day
goes
by
where
his
mom
and
his
family
and
friends
and
community
don't
grieve
for
him.
This.
