Jayson grew up in Kansas City,MO with a caring family and a strong love for his siblings, basketball and music. Jayson attended Hogan Prep for his middle school years and most of his high school. He was recently transferred to Raytown High School to complete his 11th grade year. Victory Outreach KCMO youth GANG  was where he enjoyed worship and congratering with peers.

JayJay was known as a team player and was admired by many because he was so talented and creative! Jayson loved his Hogan Rams and The Showme State Warriors basketball teams. JayJay was passionate about becoming a barber and if he wasn't focused on perfecting his basketball game he was perfecting that craft. Jayson practiced his hair cutting skills on his teammates after school, his brothers, and almost anyone who gave him a chance. 

Jayson "JayJay" Ugwuh Jr. had goals and dreams, and was very responsible for a young man his age. His love for his parents gave him the urge to try and hustle to provide for his family just like he watched them do. 

Jayson Jr. is preceded in death by his younger brother Jayden Ugwuh. Survived by both parents, his oldest sister Tityana Coppage and younger brother JaKobe Ugwuh and a host of loved ones
