Jedi was my beautiful first cousin. He was generous and kind. His smile would light up a room, and I will miss him but will remember him when he was young, strong, talented and beautiful.

Jedi and I graduated from NCHS the same year. We were friends and dated in high school. I am saddened at his death. Jedi was a kind, sweet young man and a joy to be around. I know his family has wonderful memories. Jeanie Pillow Stoddard

Oh, the good times we shared growing up, full of laughter, cutting up, many adventures & SOME memorable misadventures. Our fishing trips on the Santee River, music, boiled peanuts and my mother's peanut butter cookies were simple pleasures you enjoyed most. You were a true friend & the memories will remain fresh.

I'm so sorry for your loss Tiffany and Star. Renee Jedi will be so missed. He had a heart of gold and he was my friend. My mom Joann Carter from Carter's and sons loved Jedi. He gave me a job years ago and he was a wonderful boss. The girls may not remember but I would take them to the movies with my daughter... That was so long ago but it was a wonderful time in my life... Jedi I loved you and you will be missed. God bless your family....
