Paitriq Ante' Jeffreys was loved by many friends, the community, and was a beloved son, nephew, brother, cousin and grandson who tragically passed away in a car accident just one month after turning eighteen.

Paitriq passed just three weeks before he was set to graduate from high school. He was graduating late due to having missed a few credits, but he was determined to walk across that stage and had attended summer school to earn the credits he needed. Paitriq had a love of cars and worked alongside his father at their family-owned business. The car he passed away in was one that he was restoring for himself. 

This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Paitriq Ante' Jeffreys by supporting students who share his ambition.
