Obituary for Daune Claybon
Daune T. Claybon was born on July 4, 2000 to Dana Paul & Sabrina Claybon
in Chicago, IL where he was raised. He grew up alongside his brother, Ranier
Richmond. Daune departed this earth on August 22, 2021 at 11:29 p.m..
He attended Holy Family School from 2008 to 2011. He then started to
suffer from Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). He still continued his education at
Chicago Lighthouse for those with disabilities from 2011 to 2013.
He was raised in the church until he could no longer physically attend.
Daune was a jokester, kind, and thoughtful.
He acquired a second extended family at Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Daune leaves to cherish his memories: His mother, Sabrina Claybon; his brother, Ranier Richmond;
one aunt, Sherrel; one uncle, Donyell; and a host of great-uncles, great-aunts, cousins, family and
friends.
He is preceded in death by: His father, Dana Paul; his grandmother, Addie B. Blackmon; and his
great-grandmother, Carrie Claybon.
I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden, yes that is true. I never
wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I
needed you, a million times I’ve cried. If love could
have saved you, you never would have died. In life I
loved you dearly; in death I love you still. In my heart
you hold a place no one could ever fill. If tears could
build a stairway and heartache make a lane. I’d walk
the path to heaven and bring you back again. My
family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.
But as the spirit calls us one by one, the chain will link
again. I love and miss you D Money. ~Mommy
“And they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children,
since they are children of the resurrection.”~ Luke 20:36
You were my best friend. We fought each other.
Everything I knew and everything I did you did.
You got me in so much trouble, but I don’t regret
any of it. If I could do it all over with you,
I would ten times over again. I will give our
mama everything we talked about. I’m going to
miss you Pookie, but this is what I prayed for so
it’s going to be okay. You’re at peace,
and I love you forever.
