CRAIG, Jaylon – Passed away unexpectedly due to an accident with drowning on Sunday June 27, 2021 at the age of 17, Beloved son of Jimmy and Sonia Craig. Loving brother of Yonnell (Tyrone) Craig-Adams, James Craig Jr., Akeam Craig and Khalia Craig. Caring uncle to Shayanne, Shariah, Tyrell, Jahmel and Elijah.

Jaylon Craig Charity Organization would like to thank everyone for supporting and donating to the First Year Celebration including the Mayor, Mr. J. Diodati, the MP, Mr. T. Baldenilli and the MPP, Mr. W. Gates for their continuous support.

 

Jaylon was a student at St. Paul`s High School and was a member of the basketball team. In his spare-time he enjoyed music and creating beats with his electronic equipment.

About Jaylon Craig

Jaylon Craig Charity Organization was founded when he was taken from us due to a tragic drowning in the Chippewa River, Niagara Falls, on June 27th, 2021, at the age of 17 years10 days before his 18th birthday Jaylon was sent back to the lord on his birthday. I believe he was called to finish his good work in heaven. Jaylon was born in Canada. In the early years of his short life, he discovered he was full of life, with a beautiful and kind heart for giving to others, fixing computers in his elementary school library, giving away his lunch, making beats, playing basketball, and making friends easily with his infectious smile. His love was endless, and his kindness is what people still talk about after his passing. I now know why he always says to me that he owns the City of Niagara Falls. I confirmed it when Niagara Falls Mayor Mr. Jim Diodati called to get our approval to plant a tree, a bench and a plaque in his honour on city property. Many city councillors were in attendance including, MP Tory Baldinelli and MMP Wayne Gates. "Yes, son you did own the City of Niagara Falls only high-ranking people get what you got ". Like Jaylon, the goal of the JCCO is to be an active community member. Whether it be in academics, swimming, music or sports - Jaylon excelled and like him, we, too, will excel. Part of the JCCO's mandate is to award academic bursaries and scholarships to eligible recipients. We also intend to collaborate with other charities and organizations to meet our shared goals by creating a safe place in the community, especially for youths and the least fortunate. The future building will be called Jaylon Craig Drop-In-Centre. For more information please feel free to contact the organization.

 "Kindness was the only master key 
that opened the door to the 
short 17 years of Jaylon's life" 

October 15, 2022

The City of Niagara Falls honoured Jaylon Craig with a plague, a bench and planting of a tree in his memory.

We would like to thank the city of Niagara Falls for their generous gift towards the Craig's family and friends

Scholarships

We are aware of talents within the surrounding communities and understand that a barrier to education is a lack of financial means.

We aim to fill the gap by granting our youths and the less fortunate the opportunity to achieve their dreams with grants or scholarships. Our organization is committed to changing the odds by providing our communities with the support they deserve.

Clothing

Our organization is dedicated to making an impact in many ways! We are accepting donations of gently used clothing, non-perishable foods and gift cards.
