Quantez Brock Death, Detroit, MI — The Detroit community is in deep mourning following the tragic loss of Quantez Brock, a beloved 23-year-old father and brother who passed away on July 31st. Quantez, affectionately known as “Quan” or “Rich,” was a devoted father to two young children, both under the age of five, and a protective older brother. His life was tragically cut short while he was trying to safeguard his loved ones in his own home.
A Tragic Loss
The heartbreaking events unfolded when Quantez’s 15-year-old sister, Shakera, invited a friend to spend the night. This friend, Keke, brought her boyfriend, Ryan, into the home. Quantez noticed that Ryan was carrying a firearm and immediately asked him to leave. Unfortunately, what followed was a tragic confrontation that ended in Quantez’s death. Despite his efforts to protect his family, Quantez was unable to survive the encounter.
A Family in Crisis
Adding to the grief, Quantez’s mother, sister, and older brother are currently incarcerated in Macomb County on unrelated charges, making it impossible for them to be with their family during this devastating time. The family is now facing significant financial challenges as they work to arrange Quantez’s funeral.
Fundraiser for Final Arrangements
A GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Deon Thompson to raise the $13,000 needed to cover funeral costs and to help bring Quantez’s mother, Shenese Kimbrough, home for one hour to attend her son’s funeral. Quantez’s cousin Andre and close friend Kenya are also working tirelessly to gather the necessary support. The emotional and financial burden on the family is immense, and the community is being called upon to assist in this time of need.
