Master Jacere Dinero Boddie, lovingly known as “Speedy,” was born in September 2022 at 1:39 a.m. From the very beginning, he was a bright, loving little boy who was fearless and full of life. Jacere had a personality that could light up any room. He was a true daddy’s boy through and through, and whenever his dad stepped away, he could usually be found right beside his Uncle Davion.
Jacere was always on the move. In fact, it seemed like he learned to run before he learned to walk! Everywhere he went, those little feet were moving. At his appointments, the staff would often laugh and say, “Here comes Jacere—we hear those little feet coming!” His energy was contagious, and his smile could brighten even the darkest day. He had a special way of bringing joy to everyone around him. He was the kind of child you could never get enough of—a child you would happily love over and over again.
In January 2024, at just 15 months old, Jacere was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. Though so young, he faced one of life’s toughest battles with incredible strength and courage. Through countless appointments, treatments, sleepless nights, and difficult days, Jacere fought harder and longer than anyone could have imagined.
Today is not just about sadness—it is about remembering. Remembering the laughter, the energy, the love, and the joy that Jacere brought into our lives. To know Jacere was to know a child who was full of life, full of love, and full of light. His impact was far greater than his years, and his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
“Our sweet boy taught us more about strength, courage, and unconditional love than we could have ever taught him.”
It is the Boddie / Pittman families desire that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
