JarVaurian Penns Obituary

JarVaurian Berrell Penns was born in Amarillo, Texas to Jaremie Penns and Leah Williams on October 2, 2001. He attended Hamlet Elementary, Johnny Allen 6th Grade, Horace Mann Middle School and Palo Duro High School.

JarVaurian was known by Jay, J-Var and "Jit" to his friends. He was full of energy and a natural athlete. Jay participated in soccer, track, football and stood out in basketball and you couldn’t tell him he wasn’t the “BEST” in anything that he did. Jay had a genuine love for people and his contagious smile will forever remain as a memory in our heart.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, James L. Penns, Jr and maternal grandmother, Eloise Williams

JarVaurian leaves his legacy to his two precious daughters, Kamilla Penns and Londyn Dream Penns. His mother - Leah Dean, father – Jaremie Penns (Kodi), step-father – Tyrone Dean, sisters, Ty’Leigha Dean, Shannon Miller (Courtney), Akakia Gilkey; one brother, George Dean; Grandparents, Gary & Darlene Williams and Mary Penns all of Amarillo. His aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends will miss him dearly!
