DéLon Bush

De'Lon Roger Bush was born on March 5, 2004, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Yulonda Y. Bush and Ronald Hale. He professed his faith in Christ at an early age and was baptized at New Fellowship Baptist Church under Pastor Frederick S. Knuckles.

De'Lon attended Shaw High School, briefly transferred to Brush High School, and returned to graduate from Shaw in 2023-the school he proudly called "The U Mighty" Shaw High Cardinals. An avid athlete, De'Lon played football from childhood with the East Cleveland Chiefs, basketball for the Marshall Warriors, and later football for both Shaw and Brush before finishing his high school career back at Shaw. He also pursued barber training at LaBarberiea in Mayfield Heights.

God called De'Lon home on October 18, 2025, surrounded by family. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jimmy R. Bush, Mary E. Bush, Ronald L. Star, and Gloria J. Smith; sister Alexa, and cousin, Antonio Tarrance.
