Mr. Jeremiah Gracia Mayuku, age 14, of Smyrna, TN passed away Monday, April 28, 2025. He was born in Richmond, VA to Guylain Mayuku and Amandine Katera. Jeremiah was in 9th grade at Stewarts Creek High School and attended Bethel Community Church with his family.

 

Jeremiah had lots of friends, a straight A student who was known for his smile, humor and kind heart. Growing up, Jeremiah was very soft spoken and calm. He enjoyed what most teen boys do: playing Roblox, editing ninja turtles videos on YouTube, playing with his cousins and being around family, drawing cartoons and anime. His favorite sports were basketball and track. He loved making eggs, his favorite fast food was Zaxbys. Recently he started learning how to drive every Sunday and loved it. Jeremiah loved making people laugh and doing imitation of people, he was definitely the jokester of the bunch. Most importantly Jeremiah had deep love for his family and cherished the time they spent together. To know Jeremiah is to love him.

 

Jeremiah is survived by his parents, Guylain Mayuku and Amandine Katera; grandfather, Jean-Marie Katera; aunts and uncles, Candy McKay and her husband Romaine, Natacha Katera and her husband Gnande, Gracia Katera, Ravilie Katera, and Michel Mayuku; and several cousins and friends.
