Stolen Lives 🕊️

Their Story

Amir Clemons was only 10 years old, and his younger brother Gerard was just 7, when their lives were taken on March 16, 2009. Their deaths were part of a devastating act of violence that stole two young brothers from the people who loved them.

According to accounts of the case, the boys were killed by their mother's former boyfriend, Gevante Anderson. The violence they suffered was horrific. Yet Amir and Gerard deserve to be remembered for far more than the circumstances of their deaths.

They were children whose lives should have been filled with growing up, learning, playing, making memories, and discovering the world around them. Their time was cut painfully short, leaving behind a loss that cannot be measured in years alone.

Anderson was later convicted in connection with the killings. News coverage of the case is linked below.

This memorial honors Amir and Gerard together, as brothers whose names and lives matter. May their memory remain present in the hearts of those who knew them, and may their stories never be forgotten.

Forever 10 and 7. Forever loved. Forever remembered. 🕊️
