Jalen Everett, left, 8, and Juelz Everett, second from left, 4, the sons of Jalen Everett, play with their cousins at Riverside Cemetery in Rochester, N.Y., on April 29, 2023, at a family gathering honoring the fourth-anniversary of Jalen’s death. The family released balloons in his honor and spoke of his legacy. Leslie Gordon, Jalen’s mother, picked out a spot for Jalen’s internment near a pond at the cemetery to feel at peace when people visit him. “Kids are so carefree, they really don't understand,” says Gordon. “So, you know, if they have a place where they can just be themselves and be free, that works.”
