Gyasi Carothers-Spotts

Gyasi Moyenda Carothers Spotts, 23, is remembered for the love he carried for his son and the quiet commitment he brought to everyday life. A member of Zion Baptist Church, Gyasi balanced faith, family, and work with steady care — known to those close to him as hardworking, dependable, and proud of his role as a father.

He worked at the Kroger Distribution Center, where colleagues recall his strong work ethic. Family meant everything to Gyasi: he is survived by his parents, his twin sister Shukura Spotts, his young son Gemari M. Spotts, and a circle of relatives who remember him as gentle and devoted. Grandmothers and extended family also held him dear, and his presence was a source of love and connection across generations.

Services were held with his faith community, reflecting the importance of Zion Baptist Church in his life. Friends and family gathered to celebrate the small, meaningful moments that defined him — his laughter, his steady support for those he loved, and the ordinary kindnesses that made him a treasured son, brother, and father.

Though his life was cut short on November 28, 2015, the memories he made with family and friends endure. Those who loved him remember Gyasi for the roles he embraced and the quiet ways he cared for others. He is laid to rest with the tender remembrance of a life that mattered deeply to those who knew him.
