Ryfeek Jacob Watson, Jr.

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved Ryfeek J. Watson, Jr., who left the world on May 28, 2026, at the tender age of 14. Born on September 28, 2011, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at Harrisburg Hospital.

Ryfeek attended Rowland Academy Elementary School. He brought love, laughter, and so much joy into our hearts, and to anyone who knew him.

Ryfeek was family-oriented, loved to enjoy his family and friends, playing football – his favorite team was the “Eagles.” He was just a kid enjoying life, embracing each day with youthful energy and enthusiasm. He had such an unmatched and beautiful bond with his parents, mother, Felicia A. Ezell, and father, Ryfeek Watson, Sr.

Ryfeek leaves behind his siblings, Laziah Ezell, Dei'Ante Ezell, Martina Ezell-Mitchell, Da'Ryijah Ezell-Jones, Damiah Ezell-Jones, Rae'Shawn Ezell, Myi'Shawn Ezell, and brother in Heaven, Sa'Fear Ezell Slaughter.

He also leaves behind his great-grandmothers, Gwen Ezell and Verinca Allen; his grandfather, Craig Ezell, Sr.; his grandmothers, Dorothy Roberson Glover and Tameka Watson; his uncles, Craig Ezell, Jr., Regis Roberson, Nyhum Maddox, and Marvin Watson; his aunts, Tyia Ezell, Samantha Ridley, S. Watson, Asia Waldon, and Alexis Fretwell; and tons of cousins, friends, and family.

Ryfeek J. Watson, Jr.

You will always be missed,

forever in our hearts,

until we meet again.
