Racine, WI –

Ja' Vontae "Vontae" held various positions since the age of 17.  He was a very devoted and hardworking man where whatever he wanted he worked hard for it.  Vontae loved his cars, his house, and listening to R & B slow jams.  Vontae loved watching Unsolved Mysteries, also known as "Kill, Kill" in Vontae's voice.

Ja'Vontae loved his nephew Bobby.  He was a family man that would go to the moon and back for his family.  Everybody that knew Vontae knew he had a heart of gold and a mouth that didn't mind speaking his peace to anybody, but I bet you got the hint when he started preaching.  You may not like what he said at times, but what he said stuck with you and that's something to cherish for the rest of your life.
