Jamie Foxx and his family are carrying a heavy loss, but they are surrounded by love and support by their ILOSM family during this difficult time.
The world was informed by Jamie of the tragic news that his beloved sister Deondra Dixon had passed away at the young age of 36. Many people were familiar with Deondra because she frequently walked the red carpet and attended other public events with her devoted big brother. She had Down syndrome, which presented certain specific obstacles, but she also emanated love and warmth, brightening any room she visited.
Jamie shared the news of his sister’s loss and offered an homage to her on social media on a depressing October 26, 2020. His adoration and profound love for Deondra were poignantly reflected in his words:
“My heart feels like a million shattered pieces. My lovely and adored sister Deondra has “transitioned.” Anyone who knew my sister would attest to her being a bright light. She has commandeered the dance floor at our house gatherings so many times that I can no longer even count how many times. She even challenged her partner Chris Brown to a race for second place. She’s probably dancing in heaven right now, with her wings. “I smile when I think of all the wonderful times she shared with me, my family, and her friends, even though it hurts so much.” From appearing as the face of @globaldownsyndrome to dancing in the “blame it” video to dancing at the Grammys, from grinning as large as Rio de Janeiro when dancing down my stairs… To sing all of her songs for us… You broke my heart, Deondra. But I’ll pack it full of all the memories you gave me. Having you in my heart is my love. Although our family is shattered, we will mend it with your love. And pray for my family, please. 💔💔💔”
One endearing example of the relationships Deondra created was her unique link with her biggest crush, artist Chris Brown. Jamie’s family was already moved by Chris’s generosity and support for Deondra.
Jamie Foxx and his family are grieving an incalculable loss with Deondra’s departure since she was a beloved person who brought light into their lives. The world is in mourning at the passing of this lovely soul; may Deondra Dixon, a true queen, rest in peace and have unending power.
