With heavy hearts, we remember the life of Avantae Pender, 21, of Wilson, whose bright future was tragically cut short on September 15, 2025, in the Wilson triple shooting on Washington Street.
Avantae was known for his kind spirit, infectious smile, and the way he could light up any room he walked into. At just 21 years old, he was full of dreams, ambition, and love for his family and friends. Those who knew him best describe him as loyal, compassionate, and always willing to lend a helping hand.
His passing has left a deep void in the lives of those who loved him most. Family and friends are grieving the loss of a young man taken far too soon in such a senseless act of violence. While his time here was brief, his memory will remain a source of strength and love for all who were fortunate enough to know him.
As we say goodbye, we hold onto the joy he brought into our lives, the laughter shared, and the love that will never fade.
Rest peacefully, Avantae. You will forever be remembered, cherished, and missed.
