Obituary

R'Shawn DeMari Bibbs, 25, of Erie, PA, passed away on Tuesday, June 18, 2024. He was born on August 04, 1998 in Erie, PA to Tahlia Harkless - McClendon and Keevon Johnson Sr..

R'shawn graduated from Strong Vincent High School. He was a brilliant young man and entrepreneur of Tru Property Maintenance as well as cutting hair.

The thing he loved to do the most was spending time with his daughter putting a smile on her face telling her and showing her how much he loved her. He played football from 11-17 years old for Metro 21 football league in Erie, PA. He enjoyed gaming, wrestling, summer church camp, and ice skating.

R'shawn acquired a passion in 2018 of journaling his feelings and turning them into music to inspire others and give them hope. R'shawn was always smiling, full of life, athletic, energetic and there for anyone who needed motivation, uplifting, encouragement, and most importantly love. His favorite scripture was Hebrews 11:1 always determined to stand on "Faith" & never give up no matter what obstacles came along living by the motto "Tomorrow Ain't Promised".

He is preceded in death by his stepfather Jonathan "Jucie" McClendon Jr; maternal great grandparents Duane and Lillian Harkless; step grandfather Terry Gilkey; aunt Tanisha Phillips; great aunts Sandy Kathy, Dee, Barb; cousins Tanesha and Ronoda, and a very special cousin he cherished very dearly Jalen "Lul Faze" Rieger; Paternal: Great grandfathers John H.
